FORUM DEI GIOVANI CORATO ED EUROSUD PRESENTATO LE NUOVE OPPORTUNITA’ DI ERASMUS+

Il Forum dei Giovani di Corato cresce nell’ottica di creare valore e dialogo per i ragazzi della città verso l’orizzonte Europeo. In collaborazione con Eurosud presenta le opportunità di esperienza Europea inserite nel programma Erasmus+.

“Green Opportunities” (Krško – Slovenia, 1-8 Settembre 2015): pensato come uno spazio ideale per accrescere la consapevolezza riguardante i principi di resilienza, i network economici e i modelli economici alternativi ed eco-sostenibili – fascia di età 18-25 anni.

“Gamification” (Krzyzowa-Wroclaw – Polonia, 13-20 Ottobre 2015): l’esperienza riguarderà la gamification (traducibile in italiano come “ludicizzazione”) pensata per incrementare le capacità operative di organizzazioni impegnate nella gioventù.
Il progetto esplorerà l’utilizzo dei dispositivi di gioco come metodo di lavoro giovanile, progettato per coinvolgere i giovani nel risolvere i problemi delle loro comunità locali di provenienza – fascia di età 18-30 anni.

“Introducing Non-Formal Education” (Malta, 7-15 Novembre 2015): l’attività prevederà un corso di formazione sull’ambito comunicazione ed educazione non formale – fascia di età 18-30 anni.

Tutte le spese di vitto ed alloggio sono coperte al 100% dall’associazione ospitante ed i trasporti acquistati dai partecipanti verranno rimborsati a fine progetto al 100% su un massimale di spesa pari a 275 euro.

Sulle nostre pagine social e nella sezione “Bandi & Opportunità” del nostro sito www.forumgiovanicorato.weebly.com sono disponibili tutti i dettagli ed i contatti Eurosud per la candidatura e la partecipazione all’esperienza.

La scelta di Eurosud non è casuale: questa organizzazione per la mobilità giovanile internazionale costituita da un gruppo di amici e colleghi universitari nati a Bari ha già dato in circa un anno di attività la possibilità a più di 80 giovani di poter partecipare ad attività di apprendimento promosse e finanziate dal programma ”Gioventù in azione ” e Erasmus+”.

Nell’idea di valorizzare le forze giovanili del territorio, la collaborazione con Eurosud va a vitaminizzare l’attività della commissione speciale di Forum “SUpportiamoci” che è basata sulla creazione di esperienze del genere.

«Il Forum dei Giovani di Corato inizia a scrivere una sua nuova pagina concreta a favore dei giovani coratini» commenta il presidente del Forum Luigi Menduni.

«Lo sviluppo di opportunità formative e lavorative anche in ambito europeo è stato uno dei termini che ho messo alla base della mia Presidenza di Forum. E questa iniziativa è solo l’inizio di un percorso di ampio sviluppo che vedrà protagonisti le nostre idee in un Dialogo interculturale (vedi il prossimo Forum mondiale dei giovani) e i giovani di Corato finalmente padroni di casa (e non semplici osservatori) in esperienze Erasmus+ negli angoli della nostra Città».

‘FAITHS OF THE WORLD: YOUTH WORK AND INTER-RELIGIOUS DIALOGUE’ 24.11 – 02.12.2015 ASHA CENTER – GALLES, UK

​Il dialogo inter-religioso in Europa è spesso incentrato sulle cosiddette religioni abramitiche ” del giudaismo, cristianesimo e Islam. Questo approccio alla religione è spesso a scapito delle religioni originarie altre parti del mondo,
che, in termini di popolazione, antichità, influenza storica e ricchezza culturale sono altrettanto importanti; L’induismo è la terza più grande religione nel mondo e fra le grandi religioni,rappresenta la più antica. Questo corso di formazione  si propone di fare chiarezza sul tema, nel contesto del dialogo interreligioso.

Come?
Il corso utilizza metodi educativi non formali, tra cui workshops ,lavori di gruppo, condivisione e
giochi di ruolo. Sessioni specifiche riguarderanno pratiche come lo yoga e la meditazione, una visita presso un tempio indù.

What?
The aim of the course is to provide an introduction to Hinduism, its beliefs, practices and significance for young European people today. It follows many previous courses at the ASHA Centre that have been either about Interfaith Dialogue in general or Islam in particular.

Why?
Interfaith dialogue in Europe is often focused on the so-called ‘Abrahamic’ faiths of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. This approach to religions is often to the detriment of religions originating in other parts of the world, which, in terms of population, antiquity, historical influence and cultural richness are just as important; Hinduism is the third largest religion in the world and of these large religions, the very oldest one. This course seeks to do justice to that fact in the context of interfaith dialogue.

How?
The course will use non-formal educational methods, including presentations, group work, sharing and games. Specific sessions will look at practices like yoga and meditation, include a visit to a beautiful Hindu Temple, question and answer sessions with Hindus about their religion, an Indian story telling session, and an exploration of Indian history and philosophy.

20 .10.2015 – 28 .10.2015 “SMALL STEP, BIG IMPACT!!!” SAMBOR – CROATIA

The general objectives pursued by the project are to:
· Create friendly, inspirational, creative space for sharing and learning;
· Setting the ground for the topic of the project and introducing the importance;
of waste management and presenting the opportunities for self-employment;
· Introducing the participants to the local city and promoting our activities;
· Opening the minds and starting the creative processes for developing the  outcomes;
· Sharing the outcomes and promoting the project and the Erasmus+  opportunities to the youngsters and the local community;
· Promote active participation, volunteering and raising awareness of  opportunities for youth.

SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT:
Zero waste is not a dream.  The nature by itself doesn’t create waste. Why should we? Why we are going the opposite way of that the nature has intended  us. We do not support inefficient  system that creates waste so let’s think of changing the waste into a resource. On every project  we are trying to reuse the materials so why not to make a project where we  can improve all of it on a project so our next projects will be more waste efficient and we can  have more products from each project, beside the main idea. Let’s change all of that  with  the  project  ,,Upcycle  4  better  Life  cycle”,  in  Bitola and  with  our  creativity give the society an example how far can we go if we reuse what we call waste. With  forces joined from 8 countries, 40 participants for recycling and non – recycling societies  we will  share the experience of reusing the waste, but not only in the form of raw materials, but also in  a  form of  ready material  in  its given  shape  and  state  and  present  to  the  City  the  tall  standing sculpture  of  how  reusing  can  be  useful.
Using  non – form al  methods  combined with  informal  sharing  of  the  culture  for  kick – starting  the  creativity  process  that  is  wall  impregnated  in  our  conciseness. The arts and crafts section will bring it closer to the society the upcycling methods  through  the  presentation  in the primary  schools  and  the  high  schools  and  motivate  the youngsters from early age to think of the waste in a different way. Also let’s make some jewelery so it will remind us of the process of upcyclig as a motivation of self – employment and create a  database (blog) for draining the experience shared and share the new gained one. All in all we want to share this idea not only between the  participants but in their wider surrounding and the environment and the business sector whenever the influence can reach through the participants influential social life network. Let’s create a self – sustaining system leading on for zero waste or  at least give the system a little push on this direction. Lets change the way we see the waste and  start looking at it as a free resource. Lets be the change. Let’s Upcycle for a better life cycle.

During the week, participants will gain experience new activities such as hiking, canoeing and fishing. Activities like some of them never tried before.

The Theme of the exchange will be the nature and health of the participants will get to test new outdoor activities, including canoeing and hiking historic trails. Health means different things to different people and therefore,  one can find similarities and differences between the participants and what they define health and what is healthy.
Nature, Environment and Sustainable Development is relevant topics and it is important to inform young people about this. Since this is an exchange where five countries from across Europe will attend, we will give priority to utilize all cultures as the most relevant part
of our business and as a source of education.
To show participants how learning can be fun and exciting at the same time, our activities include the participants themselves, showing and teaching the culture while simultaneously learning from each other. During the week, participants will gain experience new activities such as hiking, canoeing and fishing.
Activities like some of them never tried before. Seminars and workshops will also take place during the week. They will be about things like sustainable development and health. Seminars and workshops will be held by qualified teachers in the subjects. As previously participated in similar programs.

Methods:
Energizers, this will help young people to open up their mind, get some energy and open up young people against each other. Cooperation exercises, prepared exercises of young people from different countries to help the young people to open up and get to know everyone Country workshops, preparing each country workshops to teach young people from other countries, some from their own.
Leisure, the most important thing. When young people can really get to know each other in depth and talk about other than the project itself. Since first and foremost health and nature workshops, where young people will get to test on traditional games from each country and also test the new Swedish summer activities.
All this will take place outdoors. Health will also involve diet and social life. The places we will come and make use of the nature. The goal is to be able to be out as much as possible. Therefore, not much space needed, but any space where you can be on the cultural evenings necessary.
To live a healthy life is important and it is not just about exercise and eat right, but have a social life and good friends are also included. Our generation (90’s) has become very sedentary  and likes to be indoors, because of technology. Therefore, we want to bring Europe’s youth into nature and let them explore the Swedish roam.
Nature and the environment is very important to take care of and use properly. The development of technology contributes to very good things, but it has made people lazy and sedentary. We believe that everyone would benefit and learn by being involved in the project, through to come out and have fun with participants from different countries.

Location: Canakkale (Turkey)

Description :
2015 is a really important year for Çanakkale. It’s 100 years anniversary of Gallipoli War. Why it’s so important for us? Because Çanakkale region has witnessed too many fights and wars from the existence of history. Troia, Alexander the Great, Persian Empire Xerxes and Gallipoli 1915. Nowadays Çanakkale people are willing to live in peace & harmony; Our municipality’s  motto “Let Peace be Our Culture” can explain you everything. We thought social media is a great chance for us to widen/raise this motto around the youngsters. In our opinion, the best way to memorialize and take lesson from a war is to promote peace and democracy culture among the youngsters, which will be leader of future.
 
Our aims in the project are:

• to raise awareness among the 36 participants about human rights, democracy, cultural differences and tolerance,  to improve social media usage skills and planning of the PEACE 2015 online campaign, which will last till the end of 2015 to make meetings for the future collaborations and projects for 2015 via Erasmus + and other funds (not a project aim, our secret aim 😉
