SUMMARY:Kulture – Enhancing Environmental Education through Methods and Principles of Permaculture
DESCRIPTION:Erasmus + KA1 Training Course\nCall for participants\n12-22 June 2023\,\nKlosterneuburg\, Austria\nWhat is this project about? \nPermaculture is a set of principles and practices that aim at the synergic and mutually beneficial integration of land\, resources\, social communities and environment. Moreover\, it is a framework for the design of sustainable human-environmental systems\, underpinned by ethical principles and globally practiced as an agriculture method aimed at the imitation of natural cycles. \nIn times characterized by environmental threats with disrupting consequences on economic and social stability\, permaculture provides a holistic framework for addressing environmental needs not only from the point of view of agriculture (biodiversity loss\, soil consumption\, land and water pollution\, overconsumption of resources etc.) but firstly from a pedagogical and educational perspective. \nDuring this project\, we will explore how permaculture methods and practices can help to have a\nbetter quality and innovative tools in environmental education. \nIn particular we will:\n1) gain awareness about the usefulness of permaculture methods and practices in fostering environmental education and in addressing relevant social-environmental needs;\n2) gain knowledge and competences regarding principles\, ethics and methods of permaculture;\n3) develop skills for designing practical educational sessions inspired to permaculture principles and methods;\n4) creating international networks between young people\, permaculture practitioners and interested organizations in order to exchange good practices and build impact of permaculture movement at the European level. \nMethods \nDuring both training courses\, we are going to use a variety of methods inspired to NFE and to permaculture practices\, trying to provide a fruitful mix between the two. Among the others we will practice critical\, systemic and visual thinking\, creative designing in permaculture and brainstorming. We will include games\, group discussion\, outdoor activities. We will use maps and visual tools. We will do some case studies\, talk with experts in the field and visit successful permaculture projects. Also\, we will engage into the creation of education tools for permaculture and sustainability. \nWho can apply? \nLiving in Austria\, Italy\, Spain\, Kosovo\, Greece\, Slovenia or Norway. There is no age limit. Unfortunately cannot make exceptions regarding this due to our funding. \nBe able to participate in the whole period of 12-22 June 2023 (June\, 12 and June 22 are traveling days).

Minimum requirements is to be interested in the topic of the training course\, to have a strong motivation to act as a multiplier\, to be ready to participate even after the end of the training in dissemination and follow-up activities. \nREMEMBER! This project consists of two activities\, one in Austria (June 2023) and one in Italy (October/November 2023)\, which make a whole training course. We would really prefer if you could also take part to both. If you cannot participate in the second\, you can still apply! \nLogistics and financial conditions \nAccommodation & Food: All participants will stay in the LVZ Kierling\, in Klosterneuburg.

SUMMARY:CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS: STRATEGIES AGAINST WAR
DESCRIPTION:Training on Campaigning and Advocacy\nKlosterneuburg (near Vienna)\, Austria | 25 June – 2 July 2023\nPart of the project “No War Anywhere! Engaging youth in antimilitarist education”\nThe Association of Service Civil International (SCI) is opening applications for an in-person  7-day training (including arrival and departure days). The seminar will be hosted by SCI Austria with financial support from the Council of Europe’s European Youth Foundation and the CERV Programme of the European Union. \nThe training aims to bring together 24 (future) peace educators and peace activists\, supporting them to raise their voices for peace\, and create a network of inspiration and support for their journey to carrying out peace campaigns against war and militarism between July and September 2023. The training will be based on principles of non-formal education\, which are participatory and dynamic. \nParticipants are expected to arrive to the training with a concrete campaign/ project idea linked to antimilitarism\, which will be developed with the support of the group. \nBackground of the project \nThe last year saw the escalation of war in Europe and around the world. People all across the world – be it in Ukraine\, Armenia\, Yemen\, Palestine\, Syria\, Tigray\, Myanmar or many other places – are forced to survive amidst and resist against war and military occupation and its devastating consequences. And even political decision-makers in supposedly peaceful countries decide to fuel militarism by exporting weapons\, investing in nuclear weapons and making trade deals with aggressors. With the climate crisis becoming worse\, the world seems to be going in a dystopian direction. We feel powerless\, angry and anxious when thinking about the future. \nStanding up for a world free of war and militarism. This training will focus on advocacy and campaigning. It aims to help young people get active and speak up on the topics of peace and antimilitarism. The programme will include reflection on how to use political communication and advocacy\, and build campaigns from an antimilitarist perspective. Young people with diverse experiences will be supported to design their own follow-up campaigns connected to the International Day of Peace. \nSCI wants to go back to its antimilitarist roots in 2023. This training is part of the year-long “No War Anywhere!” project. The project consists of these phases: \n\nSeminar “Utopias Against War”: 16-22 April 2023 in Rome\nTraining course “Strategies Against War”: 25 June – 2 July 2023 in Vienna\nLocal antimilitarist campaigns around International Day for Peace: July – September 2023\nVirtual exchange and follow-up projects: September 2023\n\nAs part of the project\, we will also create an online course and a toolkit. The project wants to strengthen antimilitarist education within SCI and to bring together young people affected by militarism. During this year\, SCI also wants to form stronger alliances with other peace networks (such as War Resisters International and International Fellowship of Reconciliation). \nObjectives\n\nbuild capacity in youth around advocacy\, campaigning and political communication\nanalyse and discuss the topic of anti-militarism and communication and advocacy efforts connected to it\ncreate action plans for awareness-raising or advocacy campaigns for the International day of Peace\n\nParticipation\nFinancial conditions: \n\nFood and accommodation during the training will be provided;\nTravel costs will be reimbursed after the training up to an agreed limit depending on the sending country;\nWe strongly encourage green travel (i.e. avoid travel by plane\, if possible; instead travel by train and bus). We are available to give you advice on this and can offer a higher travel budget for eco-friendly options;\nOther necessary expenses\, such as visa fees will be reimbursed after approval by organisers.\n\nSimple life: The training will take place in a scouts centre with simple living conditions Kierling\, Klosterneuburg\, close to Vienna\, Austria. You will sleep in a room shared with a few other people and will be involved in cleaning and cooking tasks. \nSustainable food: The food we provide will be vegan. This is not just a practical decision\, but also an ideological one: SCI believes in the values of sustainability and climate justice – and if we want to contribute to a more peaceful planet\, we need to give up on industrialised animal agriculture and its destructive effects on our planet. After being accepted to the training\, you can tell us if you have any diets\, allergies or intolerances that we should be aware of. \nParticipant’s profile:\n\nare (ideally) age 18-30;\ncan express themselves in (basic) English;\nare resident in a Council of Europe Member State;\nare/ want to become active in the field of antimilitarist education or antimilitarist activism in their communities or at the international level;\nhave an interest in activism\, advocacy\, and/or (digital) communications;\nwant to build/ expand their international peer network;\nare motivated to bring forward their ideas and initiate peace projects in the summer with the support of the team.\n\nReady to apply?\nPlease fill in the application form  \n⏰ Deadline for applications is May 7\, 2023.
