SUMMARY:CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS: STRATEGIES AGAINST WAR
DESCRIPTION:Training on Campaigning and Advocacy\nKlosterneuburg (near Vienna)\, Austria | 25 June – 2 July 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 training (including arrival and departure days). The seminar will be hosted by SCI Austria with financial support from the Council of Europe’s European Youth Foundation and the CERV Programme of the European Union. \nThe training aims to bring together 24 (future) peace educators and peace activists\, supporting them to raise their voices for peace\, and create a network of inspiration and support for their journey to carrying out peace campaigns against war and militarism between July and September 2023. The training will be based on principles of non-formal education\, which are participatory and dynamic. \nParticipants are expected to arrive to the training with a concrete campaign/ project idea linked to antimilitarism\, which will be developed with the support of the group. \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 – are forced to survive amidst and resist against war and military occupation and its devastating consequences. And even political decision-makers in supposedly peaceful countries decide 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. \nStanding up for a world free of war and militarism. This training will focus on advocacy and campaigning. It aims to help young people get active and speak up on the topics of peace and antimilitarism. The programme will include reflection on how to use political communication and advocacy\, and build campaigns from an antimilitarist perspective. Young people with diverse experiences will be supported to design their own follow-up campaigns connected to the International Day of Peace. \nSCI wants to go back to its antimilitarist roots in 2023. This training is part of the year-long “No War Anywhere!” project. The project consists of these phases: \n\nSeminar “Utopias Against War”: 16-22 April 2023 in Rome\nTraining course “Strategies Against War”: 25 June – 2 July 2023 in Vienna\nLocal antimilitarist campaigns around International Day for Peace: July – September 2023\nVirtual exchange and follow-up projects: September 2023\n\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\nbuild capacity in youth around advocacy\, campaigning and political communication\nanalyse and discuss the topic of anti-militarism and communication and advocacy efforts connected to it\ncreate action plans for awareness-raising or advocacy campaigns for the International day of Peace\n\nParticipation\nFinancial conditions: \n\nFood and accommodation during the training will be provided;\nTravel costs will be reimbursed after the training up to an agreed limit depending on the sending country;\nWe strongly encourage green travel (i.e. avoid travel by plane\, if possible; instead travel by train and bus). We are available to give you advice on this and can offer a higher travel budget for eco-friendly options;\nOther necessary expenses\, such as visa fees will be reimbursed after approval by organisers.\n\nSimple life: The training will take place in a scouts centre with simple living conditions Kierling\, Klosterneuburg\, close to Vienna\, Austria. 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. 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 industrialised animal agriculture and its destructive effects on our planet.
