SUMMARY:Beyond Neocolonialism
DESCRIPTION:Solidarity and activist training for youth workers\nInternational training\, 3 July online + 17-23 July in Vienna\, Austria\nIntroduction\nEurope is involved in global injustices\, both historically through colonial history as well as in the present through ongoing economic and political injustices. European governments and companies have been enabling and driving unacceptable working conditions\, land theft\, genocides and civil wars\, lack of access to vaccines and medication\, the disappearance of cultures and languages\, etc. in the Global South. It is more than urgent for Europeans to step up in two ways: \n1) to raise awareness for European involvement in global injustices and how this is related to colonial history; \n2) to hold decision-makers in Europe accountable for these injustices \nCreating campaigns with young people against neocolonialism. In this training you learn how to create social media or activist campaigns around neocolonialism. You will identify a struggle or hot topic you want to work on and you will work on it during the training in an international group. The campaigns we finish will be published online on the channels of Service Civil International (SCI) and its partner organisations. Participants will learn basics in campaign strategy\, how to launch successful social media campaigns\, how to put pressure on decision-makers and how to deal with backlash. \nTwo parts of the training: Online meetup with the group and with activists from the Global South as an intro to the training. From 17-23 July we meet in Vienna to create campaigns together. “Beyond Neocolonialism – Solidarity and activist training for youth workers“ is part of the project “European Youth for Global Solidarity”\, funded by the European Commission through Erasmus+. SCI Austria\, as part of this project\, will also organise a training around the white savior complex in volunteering in December 2021. As an outcome of the two activities\, we will create an adapted version of the toolkit “The Power Behind Good Intentions”\, which SCI Austria has been creating with a series of post-colonial seminars in the past few years. \nParticipant’s profile\nThe participants will be staff\, activists and volunteers from volunteering and youth organisations. All participants will be expected and stimulated to contribute to the activities and discussions. They are very welcome and invited to come up with their own ideas and present some methods or workshops they are experienced in and they want to share. Please contact us in advance to tell us about it and we will see how it can fit best in the seminar agenda. 🙂 \nAdditionally\, we are looking for participants who are motivated and willing to subsequently disseminate and promote the project outcomes within their organisations and local communities and develop new initiatives and projects on these topics in the future – with the support of their sending organisations. \nAll participants selected for this project must meet the following criteria\n● be 18 years old or older\n● Live in one of the countries of our partner organisations: Albania\, Austria\, Czech Republic\, Belgium\, France\, Germany\, Ireland\, Italy\, Jordan\, North Macedonia\, Portugal\, Slovenia\, Tunisia\, Ukraine\n● might need to be fully protected against COVID-19 (vaccinated with a vaccine accepted by Austrian authorities or recently recovered) in order to enter Austria and to participate in the project\n● be able to work in English\n● be interested in the training topics (neo-colonialism\, global justice) and have a strong motivation\nto act as a multiplier\n● commit to implementing the learned knowledge and skills in practice back home\n● commit to being present for the full duration of the training \nWe explicitly encourage participants of all genders\, sexual orientations\, abilities\, races and ethnic backgrounds to apply. We prioritize applications of people who experience racism (i.e. BIPOC applicants – Black\, Indigenous and People of Color). \nLogistics\, financial conditions and sustainability\nSimple life: The project will take place in a hostel with simple living conditions. You will share a room with other people.\nMoney\, money\, money: For participants coming from Europe and neighbouring regions\, all essential costs of the program (including food\, most travel costs\, visa costs\, accommodation and seminar) will be covered by SCI Austria through our funding by Erasmus+.\nCOVID-19: The pandemic is not over yet and this might influence your participation. Please only book refundable travel tickets\, as we cannot reimburse your travels in case we need to cancel the project (e.g. because of another lockdown in Austria).\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 industrial animal agriculture and its destructive effects on our planet.\nSustainable travels?: This is also why we ask you to come to this project through more sustainable means of transport rather than flying (e.g. by train or bus)\, if somehow possible. We will give you more guidance on how you can reach the venue\, once you are accepted to the project. \nHow to apply?\nIf you are interested in joining the training\, please fill out this application form by 25 May 2022. \nContact\nIf you have any questions regarding the project and your application\, don’t hesitate to contact Thomas: t.schallhart@gmail.com \nWe are looking forward to your application 🙂\nThomas\, Sara and the SCI Austria team \nThis project is financed by the European Commission under the Erasmus+ programme: The European Commission’s support for the production of this publication does not constitute an endorsement of the contents\, which reflect the views only of the authors\, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein.

SUMMARY:Training [LIFE IN A DEGROWTH COMMUNITY]
DESCRIPTION:FROM GROWTH MINDSET TO DEGROWTH ACTIONS\n \nMARIBOR\, SLOVENIA\n \n21. – 27. July 2022\n \nWHAT AND WHY? \n \n\nDegrowth is a concept\, movement and a way of thinking which main emphasis is not merely on calling for less growth\, consumption or production\, but more fundamentally\, in inviting one to shift and re‐politicise the terms in which economic relations and identities are considered. Training offers interesting points of departure for conceptualising and practicing alternatives to consumer capitalism also in connection with deconstructing\nour perception of citizenship. Degrowth is mainly addressed by researches and not practically oriented so also non-professionals could grasp it. On the training\, we will try breaking it down to think about it and live it so each of us can contribute to better understanding of global interdependencies.\n\n \nHOW? \n \n\nThe training framework is a concept\, a philosophy\, a\, movement – de-growth\, which we will examine from a\ntheoretical perspective with some guest speakers working in the area of activism\, politics as well as on the practical level.\nLiving in a degrowth community is experimental and experiential 6-day training course that will offer 18 activists\nand youth workers the opportunity to explore mental constraints on our way to communities that respond appropriately to environmental\, social and economic challenges.\n\n \n\nIn the training\, you will experience working for a community cause\, explore the growing-up practices in the\ncity of Maribor and address your challenges while trying to live as an active citizen striving for more just communities in the framework of your personal and professional life.\n\n \nTHE MAIN PURPOSE OF THE COURSE \n \n\n 	bringing together practitioners and thinkers advocating transformations towards climate and social justice\n 	to promote cooperation and networking between diverse actors who share a common goal – the well-being of people and the environment\n 	empowerment and support for participants to remain active in your local communities/organizations and to\nincorporate concepts that associate with degrowth into our life ignite a debate and attention of local communities on degrowth concept in a more practical sense\n\n \nPROFILE OF THE PARTICIPANT \n \n\nFor those who understand\, or are willing to consider\, that economic growth must not be the only indicator of good\nlife and are ready to take action and search for more just practices.\nIf you would like to participate\, you must meet the following criteria:\n\n \n\n 	be 18 years old or older (no upper limit)\n 	have previous experience in activism\, youth work\, working in context of sustainability\, climate justice\, degrowth\n 	have a good command of English\n 	have a strong motivation to act as a multiplier upon your return\n 	commit to implement the learned knowledge and skills in practice back home\n 	commit to actively participate from the beginning to the end of the training\n 	be ready to cocreate programme together with the organizers\n\n \nHOW TO APPLY? \n \n\nSend an Email to: coordination.sciaustria@gmail.com\n\n \nTRAVEL \n \n\nThe training is financed by Erasmus+ funding.\n\n \n\nTravel costs are reimbursed up to:\nRomania: 275€\nPortugal: 360€\nAustria: 180€\nCzech Republic: 180€\nWe encourage you to travel as environmentally friendly as you can.
