SUMMARY:Workcamp: Green Belt Camp
DESCRIPTION:About the Green Belt Workcamp\n \n\nThe European Green Belt is a valuable ecological network along the former Iron curtain which divided Europe into east and west for nearly 40 years. The European Green Belt forms the backbone of Pan-European ecological network and provides a significant contribution to European “Green Infrastructure”. The Greenbelt-Initiative is an example of cross border cooperation and nature conservation. European Green Belt is a space for encounters between people and cultures and opportunities for a joint sustainable approach to natural and cultural heritage.\n\n \n\nWith this project in the Green Belt at the Austrian-Czech border\, the Austrian League for Nature Conservation – Lower Austria and SCI Austria want to link international cooperation and nature conservation. Through the involvement of the communities in the border area and the close cooperation between the local people and international volunteers in the context of the Greenbelt Camp\, we hope to bring peace\, cooperation and unification ideas of ​​the European Green Belt to life.\n\n \n\nIn order to preserve the diverse natural and cultural landscape along the European Green Belt\, nature conservation-oriented management – in particular of open land biotope types such as (semi) dry grassland and rock dry grassland – is essential. This usually takes the form of manual maintenance of the valuable and species-rich biotopes and can hardly be managed today without the help of volunteers. Young people are invited to work together to help maintain valuable biotopes on the Green Belt and are given the opportunity to learn about the history of this landscape.\n\n \n\nWhat will you do? In this Workcamp\, you will take concrete action to maintain biodiversity in a part of the European Green Belt zone along the border between Austria and Czech Republic and contribute to preservation of endangered species in this area. Almost every day\, we will work together for 5-6 hours. We will mow steep meadows and remove bushes from dry rocky grasslands that are threatened to be overgrown by bushes and trees. But don’t worry\, we will have enough free days in between to rest and get to know each other and the region.\n\n \n\nStudy part! Apart from contributing to protection of endangered species by physical work you will also learn about them as well as about other plants and animals in the area. We will reflect upon ecological problems and initiatives that one can take in order to support environmental protection and promote a sustainable green Europe.\n\n \n\nLeisure time! The beautiful region of Lower Austria offers a lot of possibilities for free-time activities. You can learn something about wine-production\, we will visit the castle of Falkenstein\, make a trip to Mikulov. There is also a little pond near our accommodation\, where you can swim during your free time. Anyway\, the free-time activities depend on you!\n\n \nWho can participate?\n \n\n 	Between 18 and 30 years old\n 	Motivated to take concrete action to improve the natural environment and resist global challenges\n 	Able to participate in the complete project\n 	Be aware that the work is physically demanding!\n\n \nWe explicitly encourage participants of all genders\, sexual orientations\, abilities\, races and ethnic backgrounds to apply. \n \n\nThis Project is founded by European Solidarity Corps. Therefore all travel costs will be reimbursed after the workcamp. Food and accommodation are included and pocket money will also be provided to participants during the camp.\n\n \n\nAll participants will receive Youthpass upon successful completion of the workcamp.\n\n \nHow can I apply?\n \n\nFill out this application form https://forms.gle/L7vapJRjjJwaVwfWAWe will get back to you with the selection results as soon as possible!

SUMMARY:Queer Cinema in the Mountains [CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS]
DESCRIPTION:Photo: Ray Swi-hymn \nWhat is the project about?\nWith this youth exchange\, we want to bring together 28 young queer people living in Germany\, Greece\, Poland\, Austria and the Netherlands to discuss\, curate and create queer cinema. \nWe think\, we speak\, we listen\, we watch together. The stories that queer people and especially queer BIPoC see on screen are often very limited. It‘s rare that we feel represented by identities and narratives in films. This means we need to go deeper and deeper into a niche – intersectional queer cinema – that can be hard to navigate. And maybe we just need to tell our own stories and amplify our voices? \n7 days of queer empowerment in the mountains. This is why we invite you to a week of queer empowerment\, storytelling and filmmaking workshops\, curation workshops\, collective watching of (short) films by young queer filmmakers and discussions about them. We will have queer filmmakers and curators leading workshops at the project that will enable you to use film as a means to tell your own stories or as a form of community building. And we will be in the Austrian Alps\, enjoying some fresh air and possibly snow! \nNo luxury. The project will take place in simple living conditions\, rooms are shared between up to 6 people. Travel costs (up to a maximum amount\, depending on country)\, accommodation\, food and program are covered through a grant by Erasmus+. \nWhere?\nThe project will take place at a hostel in Bad Ischl in Austria. \nCosts?\n\nThere is no participation fee and the project will include accommodation\, travel costs up to 275 EUR and three free meals a day. This project is funded by the European Commission through the program Erasmus+. \nWho can apply?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBe queer! This project is made by queer people for queer people. With this project we want to create a safer space for all of those of us who identify with being trans*\, inter*\, non-binary\, lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, pansexual\, asexual and queer. \nPeople with multiple discriminations prioritized. We want to encourage participants who feel they can bring various perspectives and especially queer BIPOC (Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color) to apply. We will prioritize applications by queers who experience other forms of discrimination as well (e.g. racism\, classism\, ableism). The venue is wheelchair-accessible. We will do our best to make the project a safer space and we will create the project based on the individual needs of the participants. We also really encourage people who haven’t travelled at all yet or haven’t travelled a lot yet to apply. \nMixed space: BIPOC and white. This project is organised by and for both BIPOC people (Black people\, indigenous people\, people of color) and white people. As in any mixed space like this\, it is important for white people who would like to participate to be mindful and critical of their own privileges. There will be space for critical self-reflection for white participants both in the preparation and at the project. \n2G – vaccinated or recovered. Due to the constantly changing situation around COVID-19 and due to the security of all participants\, we can only accept people who are fully vaccinated or recovered from COVID-19 to this project.. \nLiving in Austria and be between 18 and 30! We unfortunately cannot make exceptions here due to our funding. \nBe able to participate in the whole period 13–19 January 2022! It doesn’t make sense for you to come to the project late or to leave early\, as you would miss important sessions. \nA phone with a camera is great\, otherwise you don’t need to have experience or equipment at all! This is a project for people who are just interested in doing film\, not for people who are already professional filmmakers or curators. \nWho is organizing this Project?\nA new queer organisation\, Critical Queer Solidarity that wants to create alternative spaces within the queer community in Berlin and create connections with other queer people around Europe and the world.  \nQueen Of Virginity and Thomas from the Critical Queer Solidarity team will be the ones coordinating this project. \n\nHow can I apply?\nYou can apply by filling out the application form on the cqs website. \n\nQuestions?\nFeel free to write an email to Thomas at thomas@cqs.berlin
