GLEN RENew 2012
The project ”Renew Seminar - Evaluation and Networking” aims at support of active citizenship of former volunteers on local, European and global level through creation of proper place for representatives of six European organizations (from Poland, Latvia, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Hungary, France) to assess the quality and impact of their global education actions and to develop new ideas and partnerships in this field. The participants of the project are volunteers who have experience of staying in the global South and organization of educational and informational activities on global interdependencies. Between 28 March and 1 April 2012 they will meet in Jedlnia near Radom in Poland, to evaluate their activities, gain skills and inspiration for the next activities and to establish contacts, which will result in projects at European level. All of these aims will be achieved by using non-formal education methods, like simulations, Open Space, discussions in small groups and presentations. The project is an evaluation meeting that will enlarge particular competences of the volunteers, especially entrepreneurship resulting in the creation of a list of good practice and mistakes to be avoided in carrying out projects in the field of global education. Furthermore, the summary of new ideas for cooperation in this field will be prepared and the first stages of planning will be completed. The long-term outcome of the project will be enhancing the quality of GLEN Network which prepares European youth for global citizenship and to organize citizens’ activities based on this experience in their environment and at the international level. Project is financed by Youth in Action Programme.
INTERNSHIPS 2012 Ghana Title: Encourage young people to become environmental watchdogs Interns will get involved in the environmental section of EHTN by motivating young people to become environmental watchdogs along their beaches and to separate and reuse waste. Such initiatives would then be taken to other communities. Interns require an environmental studies background or experience in environmental awareness research or campaign. Experience in social work or journalism with a focus on environmental awareness projects is also welcome. The scheduled time for the internship is July to September 2012.
India Title: Making a documentary about the changed lives of young people Delhi has a population of 17 million, with half of the population living in so-called “slums” without basic living standards like tab water and electricity. While there is strong economic growth, a high unemployment rate is threatening development. Industry leaders lament the lack of skilled people needed to fill jobs and help sustain development in growth areas such as retail, hospitality and business process outsourcing. The Society for Enabling and Training Adolescents for Successful and Healthy Adulthood (ETASHA) trains young people from socio-economically weaker communities to give them a start in careers in these industrial growth areas. They provide guidance and employability skills training as well as educational and employment opportunities for those communities in and around Delhi. ETASHA believes that vocational training is not enough and that skills acquisition must be matched with confidence building and developing inter- and intrapersonal skills in order to assist these young people to move into organised sectors. Many of the trainees that formerly were school dropouts, unemployed or workers in the informal economy have now moved into careers in the formal sector, gaining guaranteed salaries and safe work conditions. This in turn supports their families and improves general living conditions. The interns´ task is it to make a documentary showing the positive change made in the lives of the trainees and their families by filming the life cycle of ETASHA’s program. This includes e.g. community mobilisation, training, and the eventual placement of the trainees. Filming equipment will be sourced by ETASHA. It would be a great asset, however, if interns possessed their own, or if they could bring in experience acquiring equipment. Interns will have to identify subjects for interviews, conceptualise and write the script, film and edit the material, and finally plan events in Delhi and online to promote the film and its issues. Excellent knowledge of documentary filmmaking, including filming, lighting, sound engineering and editing is equally required, as are professionalism and exceptional writing skills. Empathy and respect for weak socio-economic communities are also important assets. The scheduled time for the internship is July to September 2012. Training and preparation seminars prior to the internship will be held in English. The tandem will be formed by a Slovenian participant and a German/Swiss participant.
Burkina Faso Titre: Animation d'un centre socio-éducatif et promotion de l'économie solidaire L'association Kafuli est investie auprès des jeunes de la ville de Bobo-Dioulasso, capitale économique du Burkina Faso. Elle parraine des écoliers en difficultés et encadre des jeunes à travers la lecture et diverses formations. Elle accueille et exécute des projets divers, souvent éducatifs. Elle a par exemple mis en place une bibliothèque et un cyber café gratuit. De plus, l'association Kafuli soutient l'économie locale par la promotion du commerce équitable et du tourisme solidaire. Différentes activités sont proposées aux participants GLEN-Géco 2012. Premièrement, ils auront un rôle d'animateurs et formateurs. Leur tâche sera d'animer le centre de lecture et de dispenser des cours d'anglais. Ils seront également chargés d'apprendre des jeux de société aux jeunes enfants et d'entretenir la cadre de Kafuli. Enfin, ils animeront des conférences sur des thèmes émergents et participeront à des séances de sensibilisation de la population locale sur la gestion de l'environnement. Il est donc important qu'ils maîtrisent bien l'anglais et connaissent les jeux de société courants. Un autre domaine d'activité sera le tourisme solidaire et le commerce équitable. Les stagiaires établiront des connections avec les associations locales pour promouvoir le tourisme solidaire et évalueront la qualité des ateliers de Kafuli sur ce thème. Des changements éventuels pourront être proposés. En ce qui concerne le commerce équitable, les stagiaires supporteront le développement de nouveaux produits et contacteront les acheteurs potentiels. Enfin, ils chercheront des sources de financement. Ce stage est une occasion d'aborder sur le terrain divers thèmes de développement local. Il est nécessaire que les stagiaires aient des connaissances assez élargies dans les domaines du tourisme solidaire, de l'environnement et du commerce équitable. La période de réalisation du stage est de début juillet à fin septembre 2012. Les séminaires auront lieu en français. L’équipe de stagiaires sera composée d’un(e) participant(e) tchèque, d'un(e) participant(e) slovène et d’un(e) participant(e) français(e). |
