SUMMARY:The Gender Effect
DESCRIPTION:International training\, 10-16 April 2022 in Rom (Italy)\nAbout the Project \nLet’s talk about gender! A few years ago\, research about gender-based discrimination within SCI\nvolunteering camps was published and it showed the many ways how gender oppression/\ndiscrimination/ violence/ etc. exist within our projects. In many projects\, we still face a sexist division of\nwork\, sexual harassment\, sexist and queerphobic jokes or sometimes also just a lack of awareness\naround gender and LGBTQIA-related issues. How do we react to this? How can we create safer spaces? \nWhat you can expect from this training: \n\nmore awareness around what gender-based discrimination and violence is\nqueerfeminist educational and conflict resolution tools to adress gender-based conflict (e.g. microaggressions\, sexism\, etc.)\nnon-formal education methods to address gender in volunteering and youth projects\nself-reflection about your own practice as a coordinator/organiser/activist\nsharing best practices with other coordinators\, organisers and activists\ngetting to know many great people from around Europe and Southwest Asia\n\nOutcome: In addition to the above\, in this training\, we want to create guidelines for camp coordinators\nto address gender-based discrimination. The guidelines will be published as an addition to the existing\nSCI toolkit around gender “Free to be you and me”. \nCOVID-19 during the training \nAt this point\, we assume that it will be possible to organize the training in person in Italy in April\, but we\nwill have to see how the situation around COVID-19 develops. We will ask all participants to be fully\nprotected from COVID-19 (e.g. vaccinated with booster shot\, recently recovered from COVID-19). We\nwill have a hygiene concept for the group during the training and will follow all regulations by the\nauthorities. \nParticipant’s profile \nThe project aims to gather 26 participants (1-2 per partner organization). The participants will be youth\nworkers\, trainers as well as staff\, activists\, camp coordinators and active volunteers from volunteering\norganizations. All participants selected for this project should meet the following criteria \n\nbe 18 years old or older\nbe able to work in English\nbe interested in the training topics and have a strong motivation to act as a multiplier\nable to attend for the full duration of the training\nIf somehow possible and feasible\, be committed to come to the training without flying\, and to\ntravel instead by overland route.\n\nWe explicitly encourage participants of all classes\, educational backgrounds\, genders\, sexual\norientations\, abilities and ethnic backgrounds to apply. Unfortunately\, the venue is not wheelchair-\naccessible. \nLogistics\, financial conditions and sustainability \nSimple life: The training will take place in La Città dell’Utopia in Rome\, which is a community house with\nsimple living conditions. You will sleep in a room shared with few other people.\nMoney\, money\, money: We can cover all essential costs of the program (including food\, travel costs up\nto a maximum amount per country\, visa costs\, accommodation and training) through a European project\ngrant by Erasmus+. Your sending organisation might ask for a small participation fee.\nSustainable food: The food we provide will be vegan/vegetarian. This is not just a practical decision\, but\nalso an ideological one: SCI believes in the values of sustainability and climate justice – and if we want to\ncontribute to a more peaceful planet\, we need to give up on industrialized animal agriculture and its\ndestructive effects on our planet. In the application form you can tell us\, if you have any diets\, allergies\nor intolerances that we should be aware of.\nSustainable travels?: This is also why we ask you to come to this training through more sustainable\nmeans of transport rather than flying (e.g. by train or bus)\, if somehow possible. We will give you more\nguidance on how you can reach the venue\, once you are accepted to the training. \nHow to apply? \nFill pit the Application Form and send it to Mirna on: coordination.sciaustria@gmail.com. All those accepted will later receive a detailed infosheet (incl. info on how to get to the venue\, how to book your travels\, more info about the agenda of the project). First deadline for applying is 20 February 2022. \nContact \nIf you have any questions regarding the project and your application\, don’t hesitate to contact Thomas\nthomas.schallhart@buwa-kollektiv.de or Judith judith.sander@buwa-kollektiv.de\nWe are looking forward to your application

SUMMARY:Training: Play for Peace
DESCRIPTION:A critical Look at Games in educational Work\n16th to 23rd April 2022\, Sonthofen\, Germany\nThe project\nGames and Energizers are very present in the activities of international Peace and Volunteering Organisations\, like SCI and its partners. They are used in volunteer camps to bring the group together\, and to work on contents during seminars and trainings. There is hardly any volunteering group that does not play games during their projects. But why are we actually using these games? And what should we consider when playing? \nGames in educational work got institutionalised without considerably reflecting their use\, their advantages\, and their\nchallenges. On the one hand\, games can be very helpful and useful in the seminar context. On the other hand\, they\ncan be criticised regarding the reproduction of stereotypes or as violating the personal space of participants. To debate the role of games in volunteering activities\, SCI Germany organises this project aimed at trainers\, youth\nworkers\, group coordinators and volunteers. The project consists of 5 parts: 2 on-site activities and decentralised\npreparation\, implementation and follow-up activities. \nThis call for applications comprises the first three parts: \nThe Training from 16th to 23rd April with its online preparation period and the implementation and reflection period during summer 2022. However\, we recommend a participation in all 5 parts of the project \n\nOnline-Preparation Phase (starting mid march\, 1 month before the training)\nProject participants will receive the most important information for the project activities beforehand. This includes\ntasks for the individual preparation as well as questions and tasks to reflect upon.\nTraining (16th to 23rd April 2022)\nDuring the training in Germany\, the participants learn about the basics of the usage of games in educational work. The training will provide a basis for deeper discussion and reflection on problems and advantages of games with a critical perspective on power relations. Obviously\, in this training we will play a lot in order to add practical experience to the theoretical approach. The main topics of the training are:\nusage of games and energizers (why/why not?)\npeaceful playing for peace\nroles of facilitators/trainers/group coordinators\nhumour and fun in educational work\ngender-sensitive use of games and energizers\nstereotypes and discrimination in games\npros and cons of the gamification of educational work\n(dis-)advantages of educational games online\nfirst reflection on the content of a manual on peaceful playing in educational work\nImplementation and Reflection Period\nThe participants use the knowledge they have gained during the training to implement critical points and ideas on how to use games more carefully in their youth activities (e.g. in international Workcamps). They are asked to do a small personal reflection on each game they facilitated during their activities.\nOther Activities of the Project: As 4th part and 2nd activity of the Play for Peace project\, we plan another seminar in Serbia in autumn 2022. Participants will reflect upon their experiences with the games during their interim activities and discuss them further to develop a manual. Afterwards\, there will be 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\nAll activities will be held in English language \nCall for applications\nThe Venue \nThe seminar will take place in the youth house “FUB der Falken Sonthofen”: https://fub-sonthofen.de/. It is a house\nowned by a socialist youth organisations and located in Sonthofen in the southern part of Germany around 2 hours\ntrain ride from Munich. Sonthofen is well connected to public transport and the house is very close to a lake and to\nthe mountains. \nThe Team \nThe seminar will be facilitated by an experience team of trainers of SCI: Marie Rolf\, Simon* Jakob and Hasna El Hiyani \nAims of the project \n\nCritically reflect on games used in non-formal education through sensibilisation for different forms of discrimination as well as safer spaces to create more inclusive youth and volunteering projects.\nRaise awareness and understanding of intersectional perspectives (global justice\, gender\, class\, race\, inclusion\, climate justice) when facilitating and organising youth projects by developing and sharing inclusive\, diverse and power-critical games\nUnderstand the role of peace and human rights in games in educational work\nImprove the quality of NFE instruments that can be used in future events\, projects\, trainings\, seminars and general meetings\nProvide youth workers with tools and methods for power-critical\, inclusive and peaceful games in educational work\nCreate a manual for games in educational work\, that includes underlying concepts\, shared experiences with safe spaces in games and guidelines for peaceful playing\nCreate more and stronger alliances and solidarity in the peace and volunteering movement\n\nOutcome \nInspiration for manual–contents: NFE methods about peaceful playing\, critical look on gamification of educational work\, tips and tricks for inclusive and sensitive games in educational work \nConcept and kick-off for research implantation period \nMethods \nWe’re going to use a broad variety of non-formal education methods\, such as world cafe\, snowball discussions\, re-\nsearch\, silent exhibition\, simulation games\, theatre\, visual harvesting\, arts\, energizers\, role games\, team building ac-\ntivities and more. As this training is about peaceful playing we will use many games and energizer methods in this training for critical reflection. \nParticipants Profile\nEveryone who comes to this seminar should… \n\nbe vaccinated against Covid 19 or recovered (obligation)\nideally be an active member and be involved in the process and decision structures of their sending organisation\nhave some experience in international group works as participant or better as trainer/facilitator or group\ncoordinator\nbe interested in learning more about the use of games in groups and to discuss this critically\nbe aware of power structures and be able to approach them both sensitively and critically\nbe committed to abstain from flying\, but travel to the event via overland route instead;\nbe committed to spreading their new skills and competences to their sending branches\, e.g. via a workshop\nor a camp coordinator training.\nallow time and ideas for both the seminar and the finalisation phase;\nideally be motivated to participate actively in the production of the outcomes and in the implementation\nperiod\nhave sufficient English language skills (spoken and written);\n\nPlease note that there will be opportunities to visit Sonthofen and it surroundings\, but that this is not a “getting to know the region” project. On some days the seminar also foresees evening sessions. \nLogistics\, financial conditions and sustainability \nSimple life: The seminar will take place in a seminar house with simple living conditions. You will sleep in a room shared with few other people. \nMoney\, money\, money: We can cover all essential costs of the program (including vegan food\, travel costs up to a maximum amount per distance (maximum travel reimbursement amounts: 10-99 km = 20 Euro\, 100-499 km = 180 Euro\, 500-1999 km = 275 Euro\, 2000-2999 km = 360 Euro)\, visa costs\, accommodation\, and seminar) through a European project grant by Erasmus+. Your sending organisation might ask for a small participation fee. The costs will be reimbursed to you after submission of a complete expenditure summary and original receipts after project completion. \nSustainable food: The food provided by the house 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 industrialized animal agriculture and its destructive effects on our planet. \nSustainable travels?: This is also why we ask you to come to this seminar through more sustainable means of transport rather than flying (e.g. by train or bus)\, if somehow possible.
