SUMMARY:No War Anywhere!
DESCRIPTION:CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS\nUTOPIAS AGAINST WAR\nInternational Seminar on Antimilitarism\nRome\, Italy | 16-22 April 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 seminar including arrival and departure days). The seminar will be hosted by SCI Italy with financial support from the Council of Europe’s European Youth Foundation and the CERV Programme of the European Union. The seminar aims to connect 24 (future) peace educators and peace activists in an open and supportive platform\, empowering\nthem to imagine a future without war\, to exchange ideas and boost their capacities to plan and implement successful local and international projects against war and militarism. The seminar will be based on principles of non-formal education which are participatory and dynamic. \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 – suffer under war and military occupation and its devastating consequences. And even political decision-makers in supposedly peaceful countries\ndecide 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. \nImagining a future without war and militarism – and getting active for it. With this seminar\, we want to empower ourselves by starting to imagine a future that is peaceful. We want to discuss what such a future could be like from the perspectives of young people from different European realities. We will address urgent and important questions (such as nuclear disarmament\, military-industrial complex\, masculinities and militarism\, etc.) and offer young people the space and tools to stand up for peace. \nSCI wants to go back to its antimilitarist roots in 2023. This seminar is part of the year-long “No War Anywhere!” project. The project consists of these phases: \n● Seminar “Utopias Against War”: 16-22 April 2023 in Rome\n● Training course “Strategies Against War”: 25 June – 2 July 2023 in Vienna\n● Local antimilitarist campaigns around International Day for Peace: July – September 2023\n● Virtual exchange around follow-up projects: September 2023 \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\nTo explore the topic of (anti)militarism\, increase understanding of the systems\nand their effects;\nTo brainstorm and collect pacifist possibilities and alternatives to militarism;\nTo build the knowledge basis and support system for future local or virtual action.\n\nParticipation \nFinancial conditions:\n● Food and accommodation during the seminar will be provided;\n● Travel costs will be reimbursed after the seminar up to an agreed limit depending\non the sending country;\n● We strongly encourage green travel (i.e. avoid travel by plane\, if possible; instead\ntravel by train and bus). We are available to give you advice on this and can offer\na higher travel budget for eco-friendly options;\n● Other necessary expenses\, such as visa fees or COVID-tests will be reimbursed\nafter approval by organisers. \nSimple life: The training will take place in La Città dell’Utopia in Rome\, which is a community house with simple living conditions. 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/vegetarian. 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. After being accepted to the seminar\, you can tell us if you have any diets\, allergies or intolerances that we should be aware of. \nParticipant’s profile:\n● are (ideally) age 18-30;\n● can express themselves in (basic) English;\n● are resident in a Council of Europe Member State;\n● can potentially also participate in the second training “Strategies Against War” in Vienna\, 25 June – 2 July 2023;\n● are/ want to become active in the field of antimilitarist education or antimilitarist\nactivism in their communities or at the international level;\n● want to build/ expand their international peer network;\n● are motivated to bring forward their ideas and initiate peace projects in the future. \nReady to apply? \nPlease fill in the application form: https://forms.gle/5WbBvUtTxYZhkCJX7\nDeadline for applications is February 20\, 2023.
