SUMMARY:Ready to Take Off – Training zur nachhaltiger globaler Mobilität
DESCRIPTION:M.O.V.E. Activity 1\, 12.-19. September 2021\, Nuremberg\, Germany\n\nThe Project\n \n\nInternational peace and volunteer work is rooted in face-to-face exchange of people from different regions and backgrounds. Regular trainings\, seminars and volunteer camps\, where youth workers and young people can exchange experiences and ideas\, form the basis of this. The need for personal exchange comes along with a greater need for travel and transportation.\n\n \n\nCurrently\, many of the travel distances are covered by air plane. This contributes massively to the climate crisis and to increasing social inequality. Besides\, the restrictions imposed by COVID19 have forced us to take a more urgent look at alternative forms of mobility. Among all the challenges\, this also offers an opportunity to reflect on lessons learned regarding mobility in international peace work during the pandemic.\n\n \n\nProject M.O.V.E. makes mobility a peace issue and considers the acute need to raise awareness and to promote critical reflection of current mobility choices in international volunteer projects and peace activities. Its main objectives are\n\n \n\n 	to enhance the knowledge\, skills and competences of youth workers on the main topics\,\n 	to equip them with tools to make their activities ecologically and socially more sustainable\, and\n 	to create ideas and follow-up plans for innovative climate-friendly projects.\n\n \n\nThe project consists of four parts. This call for applications comprises the first two parts (Activity 1)\, the “Ready to Take Off” Training on Sustainable Global Mobility in Nuremberg from 12.-19. September 2021\, and the “On the MOVE” Implementation Period until February/March 2022.\n\n \n\nDuring the training\, participants from peace/volunteering organisations from 17 countries will get together to learn about the intersection of mobility\, climate justice and peace work\, and to create\, share and spread tools and ideas for activism\, education and structural change regarding the topic.\n\n \n\nAfter the training\, from September/October 2021 till February/March 2022\, participants implement workshop ideas ‘On the MOVE’. They gather content and feedback for a toolkit on sustainable mobility and localise the topics discussed at the seminar – including running local or online workshops on travel guidelines. This process will be guided by the team of trainers.\n\n \n\nActivity 2 of the project comprises the “Landing and Spreading” Seminar\, which will take place in February/March 2022 in Vienna/Austria\, and a Follow-up Period to finalise the project outputs and start implementing new project ideas. There will be a separate registration for Activity 2. Participants of Activity 1 will be accepted for the seminar with priority.\n\n \n\nAll activities will be held in English language.\n\n \nThe Venue\n \n\nThe training will take place in the youth house “Otto-Felix-Kanitz-Haus” in Nuremberg\, Germany\, well connected to public transport and close to a river.\n\n \nAims\n \n\n 	Understand the link between (global) mobility\, climate justice and international peace work\n 	Empower and train active volunteers\, camp coordinators and seminar facilitators to advocate for sustainable means of transportation and implement local actions with their sending organisation\n 	Enhance networking capabilities\, create and share tools and ideas for local activism and campaigning\n 	Initiate structural change regarding mobility within SCI and partners\n\n \nTopics\n \n\n 	Local and global impacts of global mobility on resources\, climate change and social justice\n 	Structures behind global mobility (acceleration\, economic growth\, global inequalities)\n 	Economic and political approaches to a sustainable global mobility and their critique\n 	Personal involvement in global mobility\n 	Peace work\, mobility and its climate impacts\n 	Approaches to a more climate-friendly peace work\, lessons learnt from the COVID-19 pandemic\n 	Ideas/inspirations for local workshops\n\n \nOutcomes\n \n\n 	Inspiration for Mobility Toolkit – contents: NFE methods about global mobility\, climate justice and peace\, background knowledge to develop guidelines for sustainable projects\, examples for sustainable approaches in peace and youth work\n 	Concept and Kick-off for research and On the MOVE Implementation Phase.\n\n \nMethods\n \n\nWe’re going to use a broad variety of non-formal education methods\, such as world cafe\, snowball discussions\, research\, silent exhibition\, simulation games\, theatre\, visual harvesting\, arts\, energisers\, role games\, teambuilding games and more. There will also be projects visits to local initiatives.\n\n \nParticipants’ Profile\n \n\nEveryone who comes to this seminar should…\n\n \n\n 	ideally be an active member and be involved in the process and decision structures of their sending organisation;\n 	have experience in international peace work;\n 	allow time and ideas for both the training and the implementation phase;\n 	ideally be willing to attend also  (not mandatory\, but recommended) and participate actively in the production of the outputs;\n 	be committed to abstain from flying and travel to the events via overland route instead;\n 	bring ideas for workshops;\n 	have sufficient English language skills (spoken and written);\n 	be committed to spreading their new skills and competences to their sending branches/organisation\, e.g. via a workshop or a camp coordinator training.\n\n \n\nPlease note that there will be opportunities to visit Nuremberg\, but that this is not a “getting to know the city” project.

SUMMARY:Workcamp: Open House (Thuringia)
DESCRIPTION:Description: This year Open Houses is supporting the revival of the anniversary campaign “100 years of workcamps” of 2020\, which due to the COVID-19 emergency had to be postponed towards 2021. For this reason\, Castle Lohra will be hosting a workcamp which will be representative of the volunteering work camp culture in Germany. In parallel to this workcamp\, Lohra Castle will also be hosting a seminar with the presence of former camp leaders and participants representing other German youth organisations\, where they will discuss the future of workcamps from the perspective of today’s young volunteers. The participants of this workcamp will be providing support for this seminar while partaking in the activities organised jointly with the seminar participants. \nType of Work: Support of preparation and organisation of a celebration event: 101 years of international workcamps: Peace and solidarity for the future. The volunteers will take care of the surrounding area and will carry out small renovation works. To make the work in the Building Weeks as productive as possible\, it would be welcome if the volunteers would already have some technical skills or experience in working on a construction site. Although such previous experience would be and advantage thus enabling the volunteers to share their skills and experiences it is not a mandatory condition for the participation at Building Weeks. \nStudy Theme: Open Houses – not empty buildings\, but places with visible and invisible traces of history\, places which have grown and decayed over the centuries\, places which were shaped by those people who lived there long ago as well those who left only yesterday – places which will be shaped by those who live there or who come as a guest. Open Houses – rooms which want to be filled with dreams and ideas\, with meetings and exchange\, by people of different backgrounds\, different cultures\, generations\, ideas\, and visions. Participants will get a chance to learn more about the volunteering movement. \nAccommodation: Shared rooms in 3 guest houses\, warm shower (limited hot water)\, 1 camp kitchen (cold water)\, coal-burning stoves. \nLanguage: In general\, the language spoken in the camps is English. But in all camps\, there is also the possibility to practice German with other volunteers\, camp leaders and the local people. \nRequirements: Interest in history in future of international Workcamps and volunteer movement

SUMMARY:Visual Storytelling from A to Z
DESCRIPTION:About the project \nThe project “Visual storytelling from A to Z” aims at bringing self-awareness at the participants\, on their own identity and perception as human beings\, not as objects of stereotypes based on their gender. This issue is very common in young people\, raised in environments filled with thoughts like masculinity is for boys and emotions are for girls. \nThe youth needs to raise their gender literacy to achieve better self-understanding and confidence. Now in the era of technology\, young people spend more time online\, where many issues are projected in the web showing the need of raising the media literacy in young people. The world of media and social networks is becoming more and more visual\, so the need to distinguish between the good and bad examples of media provocations is pretty urgent too. \nBy this project we are willing to promote gender diversity and by transferring understanding on common fundamental values of our society to reach young people and to contribute to the prevention of violent radicalization based on gender. \nThe program of the training activity is organized in building up thematic modules to provide new information\, enhance knowledge and develop the skills of participants\, and enable participants to share in a safe and creative environment. The program also includes meetings with experts on visual arts as well as visiting several associations who will share their own practises and who are experts in the field of gender equality and will further contribute to the learning and development process. \nThe program of the training is organized in several modules like “raising gender literacy”\, “raising visual arts skills” or “visual stories become real” where the participants will be provided with new information to enhance their knowledge and develop their skills. We will work on creating a safe space where everyone feels comfortable sharing personal experiences and situations as well as feel free to unleash their creativity. The program also foresees the visit of professionals of visual arts to the centre where the training will take place in addition to meet workers from different associations in Sofia working on practices related to gender equality. \nWe will integrate in the working methods of this training those of experiencial learning and non-formal and informal learning to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge and skills in a series of activities meant to be enriching and entertaining where participants will feel prone to contribute\, share ideas\, discuss\, and have fun altogether. We have devised this training for participants regardless of their level of expertise on the Gender topic to generate an space of exchange among participants that will lead to peer-to-peer learning. Our main objective is to get them involved to continue spreading the word in their local communities about gender equality. \n\nInteractive presentations\, working in small groups\, debates\, ice-breaking games\, energizers\, sharing experiences\, group and self reflections\, and other methods will be used to encourage the inclusion of all participants in the activities. \nThe participants we aim to reach with the project are young people\, activists and youth workers who want to learn more about visual arts\, how to use creative techniques on raising awareness on gender related topics and how to adapt them for an everyday work within their local realities. All of them will be given a Youthpass certificate as proof of their participation and contribution to the project. \nAs a product of the project\, we envisage to gather several photographies related to the topic of gender equality. \nCall for participants – Deadline to apply: 15/08/2021 \nThe project “Visual storytelling from A to Z”\,  2019-2-BG01-KA105-062826\n is supported by Erasmus+ Programme\, under KA1\, Youth workers mobility
