Or who make sexist jokes and generally take up more space than FLINTA persons (=Females\, Lesbians\, Inter-\, Non-Binary\, Trans- and A-Gender Persons)? This sounds familiar and you are annoyed by behaviours like this? At youth projects\, participants and facilitators are repeatedly confronted with challenging situations caused by male socialization similar those mentioned above or even worse. These behaviors make a seminar less comfortable for everybody and need to be addressed and reduced by the facilitators. Especially when we discuss topics like Peace\, Justice or Discrimination a safe environment is crucial. \n“Toxic masculinity” is the term coined for a harmful set of behaviors that some men still continue to uphold. There is nothing toxic about being a man\, but some men act in destructive ways based on the gender roles they learned during their socialisation and think that they need to fulfil those: violence\, intimidating aggressions\, hyper-competitiveness\, sexual objectification\, and emotional detachment. Misogyny\, homophobia\, and transphobia are often reinforced through these behaviors. Women\, non- binary people\, and also other men are the targets of these behaviors. And “toxic” men even direct these behaviors towards themselves because they feel that they do not meet what is required of “a real man”. \nWe have observed these behaviors on larger and smaller scales in our volunteering and youth projects. With “Detox your project”\, we want to address the problem and enable facilitators to deal with toxic masculinity in their projects. With varying interactive methods\, we will reflect on our own gendered socialization\, discuss the topic and our experiences within the group and deepen our knowledge about toxic masculinity\, sexism\, gender and patriarchy. Based on this\, we will develop strategies to deal with toxic masculinity in our projects and share these through a toolkit that we’ll write together at the seminar. We will also discuss ways how to encourage and shape alternative masculinities during projects. \nDuring the seminar we are going to use a broad variety of non-formal education methods\, such as world café\, snowball discussions\, research\, silent exhibition\, theatre\, visual harvesting\, arts\, energizers\, self reflection\, teambuilding games and more. \nThe team\nThe seminar will be facilitated by an experience team of trainers of SCI: Sima* Jakob & Mira Weinberger. They are active trainers in the field of anti-discrimination\, gender and climate justice. They cover different personal perspectives on the topic of gender and masculinity. \nOur objectives\n• Providing young workers with basic training in masculinity studies so that we all understand the\ncontext and background to the behaviors of young men\n• Normalize basic activities for gender-safe spaces\, also in projects where gender is not the main issue.\nE.g. asking for the pronoun for everyone or creating awareness for gender equality on seminars\, for\nexample concerning talking times\, distribution of care work….\n• Raise awareness of how toxic masculinity behaviors can be observed among young people and during\nyouth work.\n• Develop strategies on how to deal with conflicts around toxic masculinity and create methods for\ninterventions\n• reflect on own socialization and how their gender roles influence their behavior today\n• Build foundations to support young people in developing positive views and understanding of\nmasculinities\n• Exchange with other people and learning each other’s experiences: good and bad practices. \nOutcome\nAs an outcome we would like to create guidelines for youth workers and volunteering organisations on toxic masculinity\, possibly as an annex to SCI‘s „Free to be you and me” -Toolkit. \nThe venue\nThe seminar will take place in the youth house “Albergue Juvenil El Escorial”. It is located in San Lorenzo de El Escorial which is in the countryside about 50km northwest from Madrid. \nParticipant’s profile\nThe project aims to gather 17 participants (up to 1-2 per partner organization). The participants will be youth workers\, trainers as well as staff\, activists\, camp coordinators and active volunteers from volunteering organizations. The seminar is open for all genders. All participants selected for this project should meet the following criteria: \n● be vaccinated against Covid 19 or recovered (obligation – see exact rules on the next page)\n● be 18 years old or older\n● be able to work in English\n● be interested in the seminar topics and have a strong motivation to act as a multiplier \n● Able to attend for the full duration of the seminar\n● be committed to spreading their new skills and competences to their sending branches\, e.g. via a workshop or a camp coordinator training\n● If somehow possible and feasible\, be committed to come to the seminar without flying\, and to\ntravel instead by overland route. \nWe explicitly encourage participants of all classes\, educational backgrounds\, genders\, sexual orientations\, abilities and ethnic backgrounds to apply. For this project you should either have the nationality of one of the following countries or living in one of them: Armenia\, Austria\, Bulgaria\, Finnland\, Georgia\, Germany\, Italia\, North Macedonia\, Polonia\, Rusia\, Serbia\, Spain\, Turkey. \nPlease note that there will be just few opportunities to visit the region\, but that this is not a “sightseeing” project. This seminar is a serious commitment\, and it needs to be taken as such. Thank you! \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.\nSustainable food: The food we provide will be plant-based (vegetarian/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. There are good train and bus connections to Madrid from many places. We will give you more guidance on how you can reach the venue\, once you are accepted to the seminar. \nCOVID-19 during the Seminar\nAt this point\, we assume that in May it will be possible to organize the seminar in-person in Spain. We will have a hygiene concept for the group during the seminar and will follow all regulations by the authorities. For the protection of all participants on site\, we will only accept participants who are fully vaccinated with one vaccine accepted by the Spanish government and the last dose (second or third) is not newer than 14 days and not older than 270 days. After it you need a third dose (booster). \n\nBioNtech/Pfizer Comirnaty/BNT162b2/Tozinameran\nModerna\nAstraZeneca/Covieshield/R-CoVI\nSinovac/Sinopharm\nJohnson/Janssen + a second dose with another vaccine from one of the above\n\nIf you’re recovered\, you need a Covid-19 recovery certificate. This is valid until 6month (180days) after your positive PCR test. After 6 month you need one vaccination shot with one of the vaccines\, mentioned above. This is valid 270 days after the vaccination\, then you need a second dose. We will also ask you to bring your own supply of FFP2 masks and a certificate of a negative Covid19 rapid test result no older than 48 hours (no exceptions). If the current situation in May forces us to do so\, we will either do it online on the same days or postpone this seminar to another date and will inform you immediately. Upon confirmation\, you are responsible to ensure that your trip complies with the latest\nrecommendations of the health authorities regarding the spread of Covid19. For Spain\, the regulations of\nthe ministry of health apply.

Did you know that using simple hand-drawn images for communication is a tool\,\naccessible to anybody? It is much like speaking a new language. And it can be achieved much faster.\nThe webinar aims at supporting our learning and bringing us inspiration on how to use the power of\nvisuals in our work as educators. \nLet’s learn together how to apply visuals in our in-person and online educational activities!\nDuring this webinar\, you will learn how to start using the visual language of hand-drawn images with ease and\nfun. You will learn how to draw simple illustrations including icons\, people\, processes as well as frameworks\nand you will also have the chance to experiment with implementing these drawing ideas for boosting\nlearning – both when you need to educate or learn something new yourself. And additionally\, there will be space\nto understand how to use all these techniques in an online format. In other words: this webinar can\nsupport you to become a better learner\, thinker\, communicator and visual educator while enjoying a gratifying\nrelationship with your creative self. \nSvetla Todorova is a visual facilitator and a training consultant with more than 15 years of experience in\nfacilitating workshops. She is passionate about empowering people to start using the visual language of simple\nhand-drawn images in daily activities so that they can think sharper\, learn faster and communicate more\npersuasively. \nSign up now here – https://forms.gle/2uiBh1KEDjydm5nn8 \nThe webinar is organised in the frame of the “Learning Lab(oratory) – quality non-formal education in the digital world” project by SCI Poland\, co-funded by the European Union. \nThere is a very short registration form to be filled in by those who are interested in joining.

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. Sonthofen is easy to reach with (night) trains and busses via Munich or Ulm from many places. We will give you more guidance on how you can reach the venue once you are accepted to the training. \nHow to apply:\nPlease send your application for the Play for Peace Project via this application form until 30.01.2022. After we accept your application\, you will receive a detailed infosheet. \nCovid19 Regulations \nPlease be advised that due to the pandemic and related measures\, there may be changes.

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.

At least\, we believe that the goals of “Youth Has a Strategy” are more important nowadays and we would like to contribute in the solidarity among youth workers from different countries.\n\n \n\nDuring the seminar\, there will be several methods used when participants can experience being a part of the Strategy in order to foster their emotional and rational understanding concerning this multi problem situation. Especially role plays\, forum theatre\, board games will provide them an opportunity to try them out being in different roles of a youth worker who work with young people with fewer opportunities. Participants can try out different tools and methods in a safe environment. Some examples for methods we will use during the seminar: individual work\, pair work\, small mixed group work\, national group work\, role plays\, field visit\, collage\, symbolise\, making definitions\, express a link between theory and practice\, drawings\, creating a ‘dreamland’\, insolent meal method etc.\n\n \nDuring the seminar we will engage in following questions: \n \n\n How can youth workers\, leaders contribute actively in solidarity and how can we be ‘a big international team’? What is the background of the Strategy in general?\n What are the characteristics of the multi problem situation regarding being a youth leader to contribute to the goals of the Strategy?\n Which methods can we use to achieve the goals of the Strategy and make it easily understandable for young people?\n How transnational youth projects supported by Erasmus + programme can support young people to create a holistic approach to reach the goals of the Strategy?\n\n \n30 participants from Austria\, Portugal\, Poland\, Romania\, Spain\, Estonia\, Italy\, Turkey and Greece. The seminar will be implemented in Diyarbakir\, Turkey on the 18-27 th March 2022! (18 th is arrival and 27 th is departure). \n \nEveryone who comes to this seminar should… \n \n\n● be motivated and interested in the topic\n\n \n\n● committed to participate in group discussions\n\n \n\n● bring ideas for seminar\n\n \n\n● have sufficient English language skills (spoken and written);\n\n \n\n● be committed to spreading their new skills and competences to their sending branches/organisation\n\n \nFinancial Conditions: \n \nThis Project is funded by the Erasmus+.

Eco-friendly! DESCRIPTION:Seminar: Landing and Spreading\n6th to 13th March 2022\, Mutters near Innsbruck\, Austria\nCall for applications\nThe project\nInternational peace and volunteer work is rooted in face-to-face exchange of people from different regions and backgrounds. Regular trainings\, seminars and volunteer camps where youth workers and young people can exchange experiences and ideas\, form the basis of this. The need for personal exchange comes along with a greater need for travel and transportation. \nCurrently\, many of the travel distances are covered by airplane. This contributes massively to the climate crisis and to increasing social inequality. Besides\, the restrictions imposed by COVID19 have forced us to take a more urgent look at alternative forms of mobility. Among all the challenges\, this also offers an opportunity to reflect on lessons learned regarding mobility in international peace work during the pandemic. \nThe Project MOVE makes mobility a peace issue and considers the acute need to raise awareness and to promote\ncritical reflection of current mobility choices in international volunteer projects and peace activities. Its main objectives are: \n\nto enhance the knowledge\, skills and competences of youth workers on the main topics\,\nto equip them with tools to make their activities ecologically and socially more sustainable\, and\nto create ideas and follow-up plans for innovative climate-friendly projects.\n\nThe project consists of four parts. This call for applications comprises the last two parts (Activity 2 and follow up)\, the “Landing and Spreading” Seminar near Innsbruck 06.-13. March 2022\, and a Follow-up Period to finalise the project outputs and start implementing new project ideas. \nDuring the training\, participants from peace/volunteering organisations from 17 countries gathered in Nuremberg in\nSeptember 2021 to learn about the intersections of mobility\, climate justice and peace work. They created and shared tools and ideas for activism\, education and structural change regarding the topic. Between the training and the seminar\, the training participants are implementing workshop ideas ‘On the MOVE’. They gather content and feedback for a toolkit on sustainable mobility and localise the topics discussed at the training – including running local or online workshops on travel guidelines. \nNow we are looking for applications and participants for the second activity of the project\, the “Landing and Spreading” seminar near to Innsbruck. There\, we will discuss more topics connected to global sustainable mobility\, such as e.g. gender and mobility. Part of the seminar will be to discuss the outcomes of the ‘On the Move’ period and to gather more information for a toolkit on sustainable mobility for volunteering organisations. The toolkit will be developed at this seminar. The seminar also gives space to connect to other international organisations and get information about their ways of sustainable travel. These activities will be held in English language. \nThe Venue\nThe seminar will take place in the youth house “Jungscharhaus Mutters”: https://innsbruck.jungschar.at/jungschar\nhaus/. It is located near Innsbruck\, Austria\, well connected to public transport and close to the mountains. \nThe Team\nThe seminar will be facilitated by an experience team of trainers/facilitators of SCI Germany and SCI Austria. Simon*\, Jakob\, Noah Marschner\, Esther Wawerda and Sophia Schmid will be part of the facilitating team (for some days). \nAims\n*Understand the link between (global) mobility\, climate justice and international peace work\n*Empower and train active volunteers\, camp coordinators and seminar facilitators to advocate for sustainable means of transportation and implement local actions with their sending organisations\n*Enhance networking capabilities\, create & share tools and ideas for local activism and campaigning\n*Initiate structural change regarding mobility within SCI and partners\n*Create a toolkit about sustainable mobility and a draft for a sustainable international travel policy \nTopics\n*Local and global impacts of global mobility on resources\, climate change and social justice\n*Structures behind global mobility (acceleration\, economic growth\, global inequalities)\n*Economic and political approaches to sustainable global mobility and their critique\n*Peace work\, mobility and its climate impacts\n*Approaches to a more climate-friendly peace work\, lessons learnt from the COVID-19 pandemic\n*Ideas/inspiration for local workshops and new projects including Project Management\n*Travel Policies of different international organisations \nOutcome\n*Mobility Toolkit – contents: NFE methods about global mobility\, climate justice and peace\, background knowledge to develop guidelines for sustainable projects\, examples for sustainable approaches in peace and youth work\n*Draft for a sustainable international travel policy\n*Ideas and networks for new international cooperation in the field of sustainable global Mobility \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. There will also be project visits to local initiatives. \nFollow up (non-residential)\nParticipants implement their own projects and workshop about the projects topic. They will also finish their work on\nthe Toolkit and the Travel Policy draft. \nParticipants Profile\nEveryone who comes to this seminar should… \n\nbe vaccinated against Covid 19 or recovered (obligation)\nhave experience in international peace work\nideally be an active member and be involved in the process and decision structures of their sending organisation;\nallow time and ideas for both the seminar and the finalisation phase;\nideally be motivated to participate actively in the production of the outputs;\nbe committed to abstain from flying and travel to the events via overland route instead;\nbring ideas for own workshops;\nhave sufficient English language skills (spoken and written);\nbe committed to spreading their new skills and competences to their sending branches/organisation\, e.g. via a workshop or a camp coordinator training.\n\nParticipants who already participated in the MOVE training (09/2021 in Nürnberg) will be given priority\, but we are\nalso very much looking forward to meeting new people. \nPlease note that there will be opportunities to visit Innsbruck\, but that this is not a “getting to know the region” pro-\nject. 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\nshared 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 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 industrialized animal agriculture and its destructive effects on our planet. We will also take care of the food ourselves so that’s a good opportunity to share food from your region \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. Innsbruck is easy to reach with (night) trains and busses from many places. We will give you more guidance on how you can reach the venue once you are accepted to the seminar. \nHow to apply\nPlease send your application for the Landing and Spreading Seminar via this application form until 16.01.2022. After we accept your application\, you will receive a detailed infosheet. \nCovid19 Regulations\nPlease be advised that due to the pandemic and related measures\, there may be changes.

As volunteers we will pre-process interviews of the Memorials media collection to make them accessible\n\nDescription: The former women concentration camp of Ravensbrueck was established in 1939 near the small city of Fuerstenberg/Havel. Until the liberation in April 1945\, more than 120.000 women and children\, 20.000 men\, and 1.000 young minor women of the so called “Uckermark Youth Protective Custody Camp” were incarcerated there. The prisoners came from more than 30 nations. They had to do forced labor in different sectors\, e.g. for SS-factories or the company of Siemens. Their daily life was characterized by hunger\, mistreatments\, and bad hygienic conditions. Tens of thousands of prisoners were killed. Today\, Ravensbrueck Memorial Museum keeps traces and records\, enhances remembrance and research\, and creates a place of active learning and get-togethers. \nType of Work: You will learn together about the history of the women’s concentration camp Ravensbrück\, analyze/discuss Video-Interviews with Ravensbrück-survivors and create individual art to honour these survivors and their stories. As volunteers you will pre-process interviews of the Memorials media collection to make them accessible. Share your thoughts\, feelings\, your politics and your activism. You are all so far away and yet so close! Please inform us which language skills you have! \nStudy Theme: Prisoners and female SS-guards\, commemoration and remembrance at Ravensbrueck Memorial. \nAccommodation: Your own home 🙂 \nLanguage: English \nNotes: Every year international workcamps are organized in cooperation with the Memorial site. Because of the worldwide situation\, the 2020-Ravensbrück-Workcamp will be digital. \nWant to register?

youth workers „RutAlternativa“ DESCRIPTION:This international training course aims at enabling youth workers to train their peers\, colleagues and young people in their cities to become creators and organizers of educational walking tours which aim to explore the different realities of a place and to tell alternative stories about it. \nEducational walking tours are (mainly volunteers-based) organized guided walks through a city or a neighborhood\, with the purpose of presenting individuals and groups the experiences of those living in a certain place\, through their unique perspective: these walks take place in many cities around the world\, and they have different purposes\, such as bringing locals close to the cultures and traditions of migrants in their cities\, raising awareness on the life conditions of urban homeless persons\, and so on. \nAny topic can be involved in educational walking tours: climate change\, social movements\, youth cultures\, biodiversity\, urban gardens\, cultural diversity\, gentrification are just some of the areas that can be covered!\nTarget groups of these tours can be locals\, visitors\, persons belonging to a specific group\, ie. certain professionals who are interested in getting to know more about a certain issue\, or even members of local authorities and decision-makers. \nThe phases of the project are:\n● the international training course (6 working days) in Novi Sad\, Serbia\, where participants will learn about the methodology of educational walking tours;\n● a follow-up one-day training which participants to the international training will organize for their peers in their organizations/cities -so that they will learn the basics of this methodology and be able to create their own educational walking tours;\n● pilot walking tours in each city (preparation\, promotion\, implementation\, evaluation) organized by the international training course participants with the support of the partner organizations;\n● a final e-publication on educational walking tours\, created using inputs and tools from the TC as well as from the participants’ direct experiences and the routes they created in their cities. \nThe main aims of the project\, and specifically this training course\, are:\n● Support the involved organizations in creating educational walking tours that can introduce resident and visitors to relevant places and issues through first-hand contact and experience\, in order to increase their knowledge and understanding of a certain places’ history\, culture and current issues;\n● train participants in becoming multipliers (training others in their communities and organizations) of educational walking tours methodology;\n● create at least one itinerary of an educational walking route per partner organization. \nThe participants may be youth workers\, social workers\, youth mentors\, coaches of youth initiatives and other youth projects\, volunteer coordinators\, trainers\, facilitators\, activists.\nAll potential participants applying for this project should meet the following criteria: \n● be 18 years old or older\n● be able to work in English\n● be interested in the Training course topics and have a strong motivation to act as a multiplier\n● be able to attend for the full duration (October 4th-11th)\n● when feasible\, be committed to come to the seminar without flying\, and to travel instead by overland route (bus\, train..).\nWe explicitly encourage participants of all social backgrounds\, genders\, sexual orientations\, abilities and ethnic backgrounds to apply. \nHow to apply: \nBefore applying\, read the Call for participants carefully\, and fill in the application form you will find in the call by August 31st.\nAll applicants will receive a

Eine große Anzahl von Menschen muss aktiver Teil der Bewegung werden\, was bedeutet\, dass sich die Klimabewegung öffnen muss. \nArme und Jugendliche aus der Arbeiterklasse sind in der Klimabewegung stark unterrepräsentiert. Die Klimabewegung in Europa wird überwiegend von Menschen geführt wird\, die meist aus der Mittelschicht kommen\, weiß sind und eine Hochschulausbildung haben. Dabei sind wirtschaftlich schwache Menschen und Menschen aus der Arbeiterklasse diejenigen\, die am meisten von den Auswirkungen der Klimakrise betroffen sind\, sowohl in der Gegenwart als auch in der Zukunft und sowohl global als auch national – z.B. sind es Arbeiter*innen\, die durch den Übergang zu erneuerbaren Energien ihre Arbeitsplätze verlieren. \nAber wie können wir die Bewegung für soziale und Klimagerechtigkeit stärker zusammenbringen? Was sind die Gründe dafür\, dass sich arme Menschen und Menschen aus der Arbeiterklasse in der Klimabewegung nicht wohlfühlen? Wie hängt das alles mit dem Kapitalismus zusammen? Und wie können wir diese Strukturen verändern\, um inklusiver zu werden? \nDer SCI und andere internationale Freiwilligendienstorganisationen stehen vor ähnlichen Herausforderungen wie die Klimabewegung: Die meisten Menschen\, die beim SCI internationale Freiwilligendienste leisten\, kommen aus dem akademischen und bürgerlichen Milieu\, während es immer das Ziel von SCI war\, Menschen unterschiedlicher Herkunft zusammenzubringen. Wie können wir das ändern? \nMehrere Organisationen und Aktivengruppen in ganz Europa\, sowohl in der Klima- als auch in der internationalen Freiwilligendienstbewegung\, haben damit begonnen\, ihre Strukturen zu verändern\, um in Bezug auf die Schichtzugehörigkeit inklusiver zu werden. Diese strukturellen Veränderungen und Werkzeuge müssen gemeinsam genutzt werden. \nDas Projekt\nVom 24.-30. September 2021 führen wir ein siebentägiges internationales Seminar zum Thema mit 25 Teilnehmenden aus elf EU-Ländern in Sonthofen/Bayern durch. \nDas Koordinierungsteam besteht aus Britta\, Mira\, Simon*\, Thomas und dem Team von SCI Deutschland. \nErwartete Ergebnisse\nEin Online-Handbuch für Organisationen\, die mit jungen Menschen zu Klimathemen arbeiten\, wird während des Seminars auf der Grundlage unserer Sitzungen und Erkenntnisse erstellt. Wir werden Methoden\, Best Practices und Richtlinien für Jugendarbeiter*innen und Aktivist*innen hinzufügen. \nWir laden auch dich dazu ein\, das Thema Klassismus in der Klimabewegung zu verbreiten\, indem du Workshops vor oder nach dem Seminar organisierst und Diskussionen zu diesem Thema in deinem lokalen Klimakontext beginnst. Wir werden dir Werkzeuge an die Hand geben\, wie du einen solchen Workshop organisieren kannst. \nCOVID19\nZum jetzigen Zeitpunkt gehen wir davon aus\, dass es möglich sein wird\, das Seminar im September persönlich in Deutschland zu organisieren. Wir werden alle Teilnehmenden bitten\, entweder geimpft oder genesen zu sein oder einen COVID19-Test zu machen. Wir werden ein Hygienekonzept für die Gruppe während des Seminars haben und alle Vorschriften der deutschen Behörden befolgen. Sollte es zu einer weiteren Sperrung kommen\, werden wir überlegen\, das Seminar zum selben Termin online durchzuführen. \nWer kann am Seminar teilnehmen?\nMitarbeiter*innen der Jugendarbeit\, Aktivist*innen und Freiwillige aus Freiwilligenorganisationen\, aus der Klimabewegung und aus Gewerkschaften. Alle Teilnehmenden\, die für dieses Projekt ausgewählt werden\, sollten die folgenden Kriterien erfüllen: \n\n18 Jahre alt oder älter sein\nsie sollten in der Lage sein\, auf Englisch zu arbeiten\nsich für die Seminarthemen (Klimagerechtigkeit und Klassismus) interessieren und eine starke Motivation haben\, als Multiplikator*innen zu wirken\nin der Lage sein\, über die gesamte Dauer des Seminars teilzunehmen\nIdealerweise sind sie aktiv in der Jugendarbeit und in der Lage\, Entscheidungen ihrer Entsendeorganisationen zu beeinflussen und haben Erfahrung im Bereich Freiwilligenarbeit\, Frieden und/oder Klimagerechtigkeit\nWenn irgendwie möglich und machbar\, sollten sie sich verpflichten\, ohne Flugreise zum Seminar zu kommen und stattdessen auf dem Landweg anzureisen.\n\nWir ermutigen ausdrücklich Teilnehmende aller Schichten\, Bildungshintergründe\, Geschlechter\, sexuellen Orientierungen\, Fähigkeiten und ethnischen Hintergründe\, sich zu bewerben. \nLogistik\, finanzielle Bedingungen und Nachhaltigkeit\nEinfaches Leben: Das Seminar findet in einem Seminarhaus mit einfachen Lebensverhältnissen statt. Die Teilnehmenden werden in einem Zimmer schlafen\, das sie sich mit wenigen anderen Personen teilen. \nMoney\, Money\, Money: Wir können alle wesentlichen Kosten des Programms (u.a. Verpflegung\, Reisekosten bis zu einem Höchstbetrag pro Land\, Visakosten\, Unterkunft und Seminar) durch einen europäischen Projektzuschuss von Erasmus+ abdecken. Die Entsendeorganisation kann eine kleine Teilnahmegebühr verlangen. \nNachhaltiges Essen: Das Essen\, das wir zur Verfügung stellen\, wird vegan sein. Dies ist nicht nur eine praktische Entscheidung\, sondern auch eine ideologische: Der SCI glaubt an die Werte der Nachhaltigkeit und Klimagerechtigkeit – und wenn wir zu einem friedlicheren Planeten beitragen wollen\, müssen wir auf die industrialisierte Tierhaltung und ihre zerstörerischen Auswirkungen auf unseren Planeten verzichten. \nNachhaltiges Reisen?: Das ist auch der Grund\, warum wir darum bitten\, zu diesem Seminar mit nachhaltigeren Transportmitteln anzureisen\, anstatt zu fliegen (z.B. mit der Bahn oder dem Bus)\, wenn es irgendwie möglich ist. Wir werden den Teilnehmenden weitere Hinweise geben\, wie sie den Veranstaltungsort erreichen können\, sobald sie zum Seminar zugelassen sind. \nWie kann man sich bewerben?\nZur Bewerbung führt dieses Anmeldeformular. Erster Anmeldeschluss ist der 27. Juli 2021. \nKontakt\nFragen zum Projekt und zur Bewerbung beantwortet Britta unter britta.lang-azizi@sci-d.de.

The UN General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace\, through observing 24 hours of non-violence and cease-fire. \nAs a peace organisation that is dedicated to promoting a culture of peace for SCI the International Peace Day is of speacial importance! \nThis year we want to take the International Day of Peace as an occasion to show our governments that we want them to sign and ratify the UN Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons now! There is a momentum around this topic at the moment and any activism and public attention supporting this treaty can help to further the cause. Most Western countries\, especially NATO countries and allies\, haven’t signed this treaty (full list here: https://www.icanw.org/signature_and_ratification_status). \n \n\nWhat can you do? \n\n\nCreate a photo or video with a message to your government and post it on social media with the hashtag #nuclearban\nPost information about nuclear weapons on your social media! Have discussions with people around you or do a small workshop on nuclear disarmament!\nIf your government has not signet yet\, write to politicians in your countryasking them to sign the UN Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons!\n\n\n\nWe invite you to join the efforts of the  ICAN and act to prohibit nuclear weapons forever and everywhere! Celebrate peace with an action that shows our governments that we want them to sign and ratify the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons now! \nA world of peace is not possible as long as nuclear weapons exists! \n\n\n\n\n\n#nuclearban #peaceday URL:https://www.sciaustria.org/event/international-day-of-peace-action-for-abolishment-of-nuclear-weapons/ LOCATION:Niederösterreich CATEGORIES:Upcoming events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.sciaustria.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210920 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20211005 DTSTAMP:20210804T075954Z CREATED:20210804T075954Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210804T075954Z UID:1933-1632096000-1633391999@www.sciaustria.org SUMMARY:Workcamp: Recovery of ancient roads of the Valley of Siarb! DESCRIPTION:This workcamp will consist in the recovery of ancient roads and the discovery of the Valley of Siarb. From the 20th of September to the 4th of October.\n  \nDescription: Vall de Siarb is a very unique and interesting valley in the heart of the Pyrenees. The purpose of this workcamp is to recover and maintain the ancient paths of the valley as they are part of the history and the natural beauty of the place. These paths were used during many centuries until the 1960s-70s. They represent a huge heritage\, which is why we want to keep them in the valley as an open-air museum. During the workcamp\, participants will discover the surroundings of the Valley of Siarb\, they will get to know the geographical features of the Parc de l’Alt Pirineu and will learn more about the region of Pallars Sobirà and its idiosyncrasies. \nType of Work: There will be all kinds of tasks regarding the recovering and improving of old paths: clearing paths\, rebuilding dry stone walls\, putting stones aside\, improving trail signs by painting them and redoing pavement stretches of trails. We will spend all the working hours (4 hours) in the nature\, surrounded by forests\, fields\, etc. The work is very manual and physical. \nAccommodation: Accommodation will be in tents\, following the health protocols of COVID-19. Meals will be taken care of jointly on stoves that will be installed on the ground. Necessary cooking utensils will be provided. \nYou can read all the information here.  URL:https://www.sciaustria.org/event/workcamp-recovery-of-ancient-roads-of-the-valley-of-siarb/ LOCATION:Niederösterreich CATEGORIES:Upcoming events,Workcamp ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.sciaustria.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/vall-siarb-web.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="SCI Catalunya":MAILTO:info@scicat.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210914 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210924 DTSTAMP:20210816T102039Z CREATED:20210816T102039Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210816T102039Z UID:1962-1631577600-1632441599@www.sciaustria.org SUMMARY:Visual Storytelling from A to Z DESCRIPTION:About the project \nThe project “Visual storytelling from A to Z” aims at bringing self-awareness at the participants\, on their own identity and perception as human beings\, not as objects of stereotypes based on their gender. This issue is very common in young people\, raised in environments filled with thoughts like masculinity is for boys and emotions are for girls. \nThe youth needs to raise their gender literacy to achieve better self-understanding and confidence. Now in the era of technology\, young people spend more time online\, where many issues are projected in the web showing the need of raising the media literacy in young people. The world of media and social networks is becoming more and more visual\, so the need to distinguish between the good and bad examples of media provocations is pretty urgent too. \nBy this project we are willing to promote gender diversity and by transferring understanding on common fundamental values of our society to reach young people and to contribute to the prevention of violent radicalization based on gender. \nThe program of the training activity is organized in building up thematic modules to provide new information\, enhance knowledge and develop the skills of participants\, and enable participants to share in a safe and creative environment. The program also includes meetings with experts on visual arts as well as visiting several associations who will share their own practises and who are experts in the field of gender equality and will further contribute to the learning and development process. \nThe program of the training is organized in several modules like “raising gender literacy”\, “raising visual arts skills” or “visual stories become real” where the participants will be provided with new information to enhance their knowledge and develop their skills. We will work on creating a safe space where everyone feels comfortable sharing personal experiences and situations as well as feel free to unleash their creativity. The program also foresees the visit of professionals of visual arts to the centre where the training will take place in addition to meet workers from different associations in Sofia working on practices related to gender equality. \nWe will integrate in the working methods of this training those of experiencial learning and non-formal and informal learning to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge and skills in a series of activities meant to be enriching and entertaining where participants will feel prone to contribute\, share ideas\, discuss\, and have fun altogether. We have devised this training for participants regardless of their level of expertise on the Gender topic to generate an space of exchange among participants that will lead to peer-to-peer learning. Our main objective is to get them involved to continue spreading the word in their local communities about gender equality. \n\nInteractive presentations\, working in small groups\, debates\, ice-breaking games\, energizers\, sharing experiences\, group and self reflections\, and other methods will be used to encourage the inclusion of all participants in the activities. \nThe participants we aim to reach with the project are young people\, activists and youth workers who want to learn more about visual arts\, how to use creative techniques on raising awareness on gender related topics and how to adapt them for an everyday work within their local realities. All of them will be given a Youthpass certificate as proof of their participation and contribution to the project. \nAs a product of the project\, we envisage to gather several photographies related to the topic of gender equality. \nCall for participants – Deadline to apply: 15/08/2021 \nThe project “Visual storytelling from A to Z”\,  2019-2-BG01-KA105-062826\n is supported by Erasmus+ Programme\, under KA1\, Youth workers mobility URL:https://www.sciaustria.org/event/visual-storytelling-from-a-to-z/ LOCATION:Niederösterreich CATEGORIES:Trainings & Seminare,Upcoming events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.sciaustria.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/visual-storytelling-1.png ORGANIZER;CN="CVS Bulgaria":MAILTO:office@cvs-bg.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210912 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210926 DTSTAMP:20210804T081414Z CREATED:20210804T081225Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210804T081414Z UID:1944-1631404800-1632614399@www.sciaustria.org SUMMARY:Workcamp: Open House (Thuringia) DESCRIPTION:Description: This year Open Houses is supporting the revival of the anniversary campaign “100 years of workcamps” of 2020\, which due to the COVID-19 emergency had to be postponed towards 2021. For this reason\, Castle Lohra will be hosting a workcamp which will be representative of the volunteering work camp culture in Germany. In parallel to this workcamp\, Lohra Castle will also be hosting a seminar with the presence of former camp leaders and participants representing other German youth organisations\, where they will discuss the future of workcamps from the perspective of today’s young volunteers. The participants of this workcamp will be providing support for this seminar while partaking in the activities organised jointly with the seminar participants. \nType of Work: Support of preparation and organisation of a celebration event: 101 years of international workcamps: Peace and solidarity for the future. The volunteers will take care of the surrounding area and will carry out small renovation works. To make the work in the Building Weeks as productive as possible\, it would be welcome if the volunteers would already have some technical skills or experience in working on a construction site. Although such previous experience would be and advantage thus enabling the volunteers to share their skills and experiences it is not a mandatory condition for the participation at Building Weeks. \nStudy Theme: Open Houses – not empty buildings\, but places with visible and invisible traces of history\, places which have grown and decayed over the centuries\, places which were shaped by those people who lived there long ago as well those who left only yesterday – places which will be shaped by those who live there or who come as a guest. Open Houses – rooms which want to be filled with dreams and ideas\, with meetings and exchange\, by people of different backgrounds\, different cultures\, generations\, ideas\, and visions. Participants will get a chance to learn more about the volunteering movement. \nAccommodation: Shared rooms in 3 guest houses\, warm shower (limited hot water)\, 1 camp kitchen (cold water)\, coal-burning stoves. \nLanguage: In general\, the language spoken in the camps is English. But in all camps\, there is also the possibility to practice German with other volunteers\, camp leaders and the local people. \nRequirements: Interest in history in future of international Workcamps and volunteer movement URL:https://www.sciaustria.org/event/open-house-thuringia/ LOCATION:Niederösterreich CATEGORIES:Upcoming events,Workcamp ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.sciaustria.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/14886-4.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="SCI Deutschland":MAILTO:info@sci-d.de END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210912 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210920 DTSTAMP:20210712T113735Z CREATED:20210712T113735Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210712T113735Z UID:1880-1631404800-1632095999@www.sciaustria.org SUMMARY:Ready to Take Off – Training zur nachhaltiger globaler Mobilität DESCRIPTION:M.O.V.E. Activity 1\, 12.-19. September 2021\, Nuremberg\, Germany\n\nThe Project\n \n\nInternational peace and volunteer work is rooted in face-to-face exchange of people from different regions and backgrounds. Regular trainings\, seminars and volunteer camps\, where youth workers and young people can exchange experiences and ideas\, form the basis of this. The need for personal exchange comes along with a greater need for travel and transportation.\n\n \n\nCurrently\, many of the travel distances are covered by air plane. This contributes massively to the climate crisis and to increasing social inequality. Besides\, the restrictions imposed by COVID19 have forced us to take a more urgent look at alternative forms of mobility. Among all the challenges\, this also offers an opportunity to reflect on lessons learned regarding mobility in international peace work during the pandemic.\n\n \n\nProject M.O.V.E. makes mobility a peace issue and considers the acute need to raise awareness and to promote critical reflection of current mobility choices in international volunteer projects and peace activities. Its main objectives are\n\n \n\n to enhance the knowledge\, skills and competences of youth workers on the main topics\,\n to equip them with tools to make their activities ecologically and socially more sustainable\, and\n to create ideas and follow-up plans for innovative climate-friendly projects.\n\n \n\nThe project consists of four parts. This call for applications comprises the first two parts (Activity 1)\, the “Ready to Take Off” Training on Sustainable Global Mobility in Nuremberg from 12.-19. September 2021\, and the “On the MOVE” Implementation Period until February/March 2022.\n\n \n\nDuring the training\, participants from peace/volunteering organisations from 17 countries will get together to learn about the intersection of mobility\, climate justice and peace work\, and to create\, share and spread tools and ideas for activism\, education and structural change regarding the topic.\n\n \n\nAfter the training\, from September/October 2021 till February/March 2022\, participants implement workshop ideas ‘On the MOVE’. They gather content and feedback for a toolkit on sustainable mobility and localise the topics discussed at the seminar – including running local or online workshops on travel guidelines. This process will be guided by the team of trainers.\n\n \n\nActivity 2 of the project comprises the “Landing and Spreading” Seminar\, which will take place in February/March 2022 in Vienna/Austria\, and 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\n \n\nAll activities will be held in English language.\n\n \nThe Venue\n \n\nThe training will take place in the youth house “Otto-Felix-Kanitz-Haus” in Nuremberg\, Germany\, well connected to public transport and close to a river.\n\n \nAims\n \n\n Understand the link between (global) mobility\, climate justice and international peace work\n Empower and train active volunteers\, camp coordinators and seminar facilitators to advocate for sustainable means of transportation and implement local actions with their sending organisation\n Enhance networking capabilities\, create and share tools and ideas for local activism and campaigning\n Initiate structural change regarding mobility within SCI and partners\n\n \nTopics\n \n\n Local and global impacts of global mobility on resources\, climate change and social justice\n Structures behind global mobility (acceleration\, economic growth\, global inequalities)\n Economic and political approaches to a sustainable global mobility and their critique\n Personal involvement in global mobility\n Peace work\, mobility and its climate impacts\n Approaches to a more climate-friendly peace work\, lessons learnt from the COVID-19 pandemic\n Ideas/inspirations for local workshops\n\n \nOutcomes\n \n\n Inspiration for Mobility Toolkit – contents: NFE methods about global mobility\, climate justice and peace\, background knowledge to develop guidelines for sustainable projects\, examples for sustainable approaches in peace and youth work\n Concept and Kick-off for research and On the MOVE Implementation Phase.\n\n \nMethods\n \n\nWe’re going to use a broad variety of non-formal education methods\, such as world cafe\, snowball discussions\, research\, silent exhibition\, simulation games\, theatre\, visual harvesting\, arts\, energisers\, role games\, teambuilding games and more. There will also be projects visits to local initiatives.\n\n \nParticipants’ Profile\n \n\nEveryone who comes to this seminar should…\n\n \n\n ideally be an active member and be involved in the process and decision structures of their sending organisation;\n have experience in international peace work;\n allow time and ideas for both the training and the implementation phase;\n ideally be willing to attend also  (not mandatory\, but recommended) and participate actively in the production of the outputs;\n be committed to abstain from flying and travel to the events via overland route instead;\n bring ideas for workshops;\n have sufficient English language skills (spoken and written);\n be committed to spreading their new skills and competences to their sending branches/organisation\, e.g. via a workshop or a camp coordinator training.\n\n \n\nPlease note that there will be opportunities to visit Nuremberg\, but that this is not a “getting to know the city” project. On some days the seminar also foresees evening sessions.\n\n \nFinancial Conditions of Participation\n \n\n Essential costs of the programme (including vegan food\, accommodation\, local transportation and training) will be covered by SCI-D. The project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.\n Reimbursement of international travel costs will be 100% up to the maximum amounts indicated in the rules of the Erasmus+ programme after the receipt of original documents (maximum travel reimbursement amounts: 10-99 km = 20 Euro\, 100-499 km = 180 Euro\, 500-1999 km = 275 Euro\, 2000-2999 km = 360 Euro).\n Placement fees are charged according to the regulations of national sending organisation.\n\n \nCovid19 Regulation\n \n\nPlease be advised that due to the pandemic and related measures\, there may be changes.

The Verbindungskultur e.V. is a place to develop learning experiences which foster a profound and authentic connection to nature\, where sustainable ways of life are explored and practiced\, and which promote peaceful and creative ways of being together – to create social change for the benefit of all beings. With this work camp\, the biodiversity in the community garden at the place of the association “Verbindungskultur e.V.” close to Lake Constance is now to be specifically promoted. To this end\, we would like to enrich the existing permaculture garden with additional habitats for rare and/or specially adapted animal and plant species. \nType of Work: With our work\, we will focus on species protection and the construction of so-called “nature modules”\, i.e. small microhabitats that can increase and stabilize the biodiversity of a site\, in this case of the “home” our association. These nature modules include for example: dry stone walls\, stone piles\, stone pyramids\, dead wood piles\, wood cellars\, sandariums\, small water puddles\, wildflowers\, and many more. These increasingly rare habitats attract endangered species that can find a habitat here again. Furthermore\, we want to improve the infrastructure of our seminar site\, e.g. by building stairs and paths\, possibly also handicapped access. The tasks will mainly be accomplished with physical labor\, but there will also be theoretical input on the nature garden idea. \nStudy Theme: SCI; biodiversity in nature gardens; Permaculture; Nature Connection; Culture of Belonging; Compassionate\, peaceful and empathic communication \nDepending on the participants’ interests\, other themes are also possible. \nIn addition to the practical work and the study parts\, the work camp will be designed in a way that supports the growth of intense social bonds within the international volunteer team and beyond\, promoting peace on a personal and collective level. \nAccommodation: In own tents (please bring your own tent\, your sleeping mat and sleeping bag)\, if needed indoor-facilities are possible. There is an outdoor kitchen\, compost toilets\, solar shower\, and a cozy heated yurt as a community space (built by previous SCI volunteers). \nWe will cook together as a group – in our kitchen tent and sometimes\, if you are interested\, on the campfire. We will prepare mainly plant-based delicacies from as much as possible regional-seasonal ingredients \, which will nourish body and soul after work 🙂 \nLanguage: The common language will be English. In the team of Verbindungskultur e.V. there are also contact persons with knowledge of French\, Spanish and Russian (as well as German as a native language). \nRequirements: Openness to and interest in ecological gardening; willingness to do physical work and teamwork; joy in being with others; desire to be outdoors with simple infrastructure (tents\, composting toilets\, solar shower). \n  URL:https://www.sciaustria.org/event/fostering-biodiversity-in-a-community-garden-lake-constance/ LOCATION:Niederösterreich CATEGORIES:Upcoming events,Workcamp ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.sciaustria.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/14730-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="SCI Deutschland":MAILTO:info@sci-d.de END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210829 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210905 DTSTAMP:20210804T074657Z CREATED:20210804T074657Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210804T074657Z UID:1924-1630195200-1630799999@www.sciaustria.org SUMMARY:CHAPTER: Challenging Propaganda Through Remembrance. "Remembrance Week in Greece" DESCRIPTION:Description: The Remembrance Week in Greece is part of a wider list of activities within the frame of the European Project “Chapter: Challenging Propaganda Through Remembrance”. The project gathers 25 representatives of organizations from 9 countries – Austria\, France\, Germany\, Greece\, Hungary\, Italy\, Poland\, Catalunya and Bulgaria. Since 2014 Europe is facing the worst humanitarian crisis Since World War II. The majority of them fleeing from Syria and Libya\, causing a crisis in humanitarian assistance by the Greek state and greater EU\, due to years of economic and political turmoil. An in-depth analysis shows that current propaganda roots lay in pre-WWII propaganda and throughout\, by totalitarian movements and regimes before the outbreak of the war\, such as the Ioannis Metaxas regime in Greece. \nType of Work: Participants\, supported and guided by the Remembrance Messengers\, will implement different activities aimed at going in depth into the following key words/topics: Remembrance\, Fear\, Normalization\, Propaganda and media\, Nationalism\, Hatred of the enemy\, Grassroots media\, Pacifism. A Set of Infographics will be created on the basis of the research participants will realize during the activity\, focused on the following specific topics: History\, Hate crimes\, Fear\, Propaganda\, Gender\, Freedom of speech\, Nationalism\, Normalization\, Social Frustration. \nStudy Theme: The research part will be focused on propaganda during the WWI and pre WWII\, Fear and normalization\, connecting the features characterizing the public discourse before the 2 wars to the present day political movements of the far right in each project country.

Some areas in Thayatal and Donau-Auen need ongoing management to form sustainable habitats for rare species. Meadows and diverse dry grassland areas\, need to be taken care of to preserve them and their ecosystem functions. The management of national parks lays great emphasis on environmental education and visitor management. \nWe will remove invasive plants to prevent irreversible anthropogenic effects on the ecosystem. Secondly\, we will mow dry grassland areas and selectively remove bushes and small trees to prevent the forest from overgrowing these species-rich open habitats. We will also have time to get to know each other and enjoy the summer in Austria. \nYou can find more information about this camp here.
