DJAKOVO HOSTING HUMAN RIGHTS!

Young Europeans on the move to protect human rights!

Djakovo ospita i diritti umani!
Giovani europei in movimento per proteggere i diritti umani!

I diritti umani appartengono ad ogni essere umano, tuttavia ogni giorno vengono violati. A volte le persone non hanno coscienza dei loro diritti e libertà, per questo motivo dei giovani provenienti da sette diverse nazioni si sono riuniti a Djakovo in Croazia per essere formati sulla materia in questione e per acquisire gli strumenti necessari per avere un impatto sulle proprie comunità di origine. I partecipanti hanno dai 18 ai 25 anni e provengono da:
Bulgaria, Croazia, Grecia, Italia, Lituania, Macedonia e Repubblica Ceca. Le nazioni sono rappresentate da associazioni non governative con obiettivi comuni.
Per perseguire tali obiettivi, abbiamo partecipato a dibattiti, presentazioni, workshops e attività di formazione. La protezione dei diritti umani è di vitale importanza e tutti noi dobbiamo esserne coscienti. Nessuno dovrebbe esser trattato ingiustamente, discriminato, lasciato a sé stesso o essere oggetto di violenza. Ogni persona dovrebbe godere di eguali opportunità a prescindere da razza, sesso, nazionalità, religione, condizioni sociali e convinzioni politiche in ogni aspetto della propria vita. Tutti dobbiamo movimentarci per tali questioni ed incoraggiare gli altri ad apportare il cambiamento. Inoltre, questo progetto è stato molto utile per ognuno di noi dal momento che abbiamo sviluppato le nostre capacità di leadership , consolidato la sicurezza in noi stessi, conosciuto altre culture ed ampliato le nostre conoscenze per trovare potenziali soluzioni.
Ecco le opinioni di alcuni partecipanti:

Sofija, Macedonia:
“ Mi sento un leader migliore di prima, sono più sicura di me e adesso voglio motivare gli altri a fare lo stesso e ad entrare in azione.”

Ludovico, Italia:
“ Ho avuto l’opportunità di entrare in contatto con culture differenti e i loro backgrounds ed ho trovato molto utile il dibattito sulla situazione in ogni nazione.”

Kaloyan, Bulgaria:
“ Adesso ognuno di noi ha la responsabilità di portare quello che abbiamo imparato qui nelle nostre comunità e usare queste competenze per influenzare la società.”

Elvis, Lituania:
“ Ho capito veramente quali persone e quali organizzazioni hanno a cuore i diritti umani in Europa.”

Il progetto è stato finanziato da: Unione Europea, Erasmus +, Agenzia per la mobilità e i programmi EU. CET Platform è l’organizzazione non governativa ospitante in Croazia, che mette a disposizione molte opportunità di partecipazione attiva per i giovani ed organizza progetti locali, campagne di sensibilizzazione e progetti di scambio proprio come questo. Potete contattarli all’indirizzo mail croatia@cetplatform.org, sul sito web cetplaform.org , seguirli su Facebook, Twitter o Instagram.

TACKLING INTOLERANCE AND DISCRIMINATION A TOOL BOX #TIDTB 02-12-2016, 09-12-2016 ITALY

Training Course is planned to be hosted in Giovinazzo , metropolitan area of Bari,Region Puglia The training course “Tackling Intolerance and Discrimination- A Tool Box”  aims to provide youth leaders and educators with new ideas for workshops and training sessions in their work with marginalized young people facing discrimination in their community.

Nowadays discrimination takes many forms in modern Europe. People are discriminated for origin, their religion, sexual orientation, their skin colour, their gender, and even the school they visited and the district they live in. Discrimination often translates into fewer chances for personal development, weakened self-confidence and as a consequence into limited opportunities for employment. For these reasons many civil society organizations work in the field of antidiscrimination by fostering tolerance and aiming to empower young people to overcome the societal stereotypes that hamper the personal freedom and right for self-development.

Along this line, the training course intends to share methods of anti-discrimination work with its participants in order to strengthen their daily work with young people. Workshops, simulation exercises, role plays and debates will be exercised with the participants to give them a learning experience and to explain them their strength and weaknesses.The participants will receive time to design own exercises based on the made experiences can be applied within their programme activities on local level or in international encounters. SOF Spirit of Freedom Italy cooperates in the frame of this project with partners from France, Denmark, The Netherlands, Sweden, Spain, Malta and Croatia.

YOUTH EXCHANGE 2 STAGES ”DO SOMETHING GOOD FOR YOURSELF AND SOCIETY” STAGE #1 15-23 SEPTEMBER 2016, ADA SERBIA STAGE #2 12-20 NOVEMBER 2016, Hajdúböszörmény Hungary

Unemployment is a big challenge for Europe and neighbouring countries. The unprecedented technological development and increased inter-dependence that the world is experiencing have not provided a solution to ones who are left outside the system, especially the young people who find it more and more difficult to meet the ever-changing labour market demands.
The problem is even more acute among youth with fewer opportunities in rural and urban areas where opportunity is a scarce resource and access to education is limited. The frustration and disempowerment of the disadvantaged youth continually breeds low self-esteem, low motivation and cynicism.
This issue is targeted mostly from macro level through the notion of wise policy and effective management of the economy. We believe this is not enough. We are convinced that a true and sustainable solution can only come inside-out; when a shift in thinking and change in perceptions takes place in the minds of young people who come to understand that they have more control over their lives than they think and they are empowered to be proactive and strategic, to seize opportunities, to see the potential and take risks. We believe in the potential of small synergistic actions in local interdependent realities and the need to promote entrepreneurial spirit among young people.
We also believe that this empowerment and inspiration are best brought about to youth by young people themselves. Success story of one young entrepreneur can motivate thousands and the skills learned by a one youth worker can impact many in the local community in a ripple effect.

Objectives of the 1st exchange in Serbia (15-23 of September 2016 ):

• To build up a strong team spirit which can subsist during the whole process,
• To discover the reasons of the youth Unemployment in the participating countries,
• To learn and shear knowledge and ideas about the opportunities of youth people in Europe,
• To understand the concept of Social Entrepreneurship,
• To meet perfect examples of Social Entrepreneurship,
• To gain skills and competences in the field of project management,
• To plane together the future path.

Youth Exchange activities will use non formal education methodologies and will be centered on participants’ input and experience as the main source of mutual learning.

The participants from the 1st Exchange MUST participate in the following 2nd Youth Exchange which will be implemented in Hajdúböszörmény, Hungary in 12-20 of November.

EUROPE LANGUAGES 04.08.2016 11.08.2016 ZAKOPANE, POLAND

Il progetto ” Europe Languages 04.08.2016   11.08.2016  Zakopane Mountain, POLAND  ” cerca di analizzare in che misura le lingue nazionali dei paesi partecipanti siano simili e ciò che della loro cultura è.
I paesi che partecipano al progetto solo  apparentemente hanno molto in  comune, infatti se si guarda più da vicino la loro storia,   ci sono ancora molti stereotipi e pregiudizi – spesso ingiusti e sbagliati . Con l’analisi delle lingue nazionali e la loro evoluzione attraverso il contesto storico , ci si propone di mostrare ai giovani in che modo rappresentare la cultura di ogni paese. I giovani apprendono circa la propria storia e cultura dall’istruzione, ma anche dall’ambiente familiare in cui si cresce  . Il progetto di scambio giovanile non solo fornisce un’opportunità di apprendimento condiviso  , ma soprattutto rappresenta un’opportunità per affrontare le opinioni ampiamente prevalenti fatte da paesi che hanno molto in comune e che sono allo stesso tempo molto vicini. I partecipanti si troveranno ad affrontare le proprie percezioni, gli stereotipi, durante le sessioni con ampio uso di metodologie e tecniche di apprendimento non formali.

The project “Europe Languages” tries to answer the question to what extent the national languages of the participating countries are similar, what they have in common their countries and what divides us.
Countries participating in the project are the countries, which might seem to have a lot in common, but if you look more closely at their history, in thinking about each other, there are still many stereotypes – often unfair and prejudiced. Analysis of national languages and their evolution through the ages in the context of the historical background aims to show young people that represent the culture of each country. Youth first draws knowledge about the history of the school but also the environment in which grows from family, peers and neighbors. Prejudices against other groups very easily take root in the minds of young people, and fight with them is prohibitively difficult. Therefore, the project will not only provide an opportunity for shared learning different languages and learn about history, but most of all to deal with the widely prevailing opinions made by countries that have a lot in common and which are within close proximity. Participants will face their own perceptions, stereotypes, during classes held outside formal methods.

Lingua di lavoro: inglese
Profilo dei partecipanti: Giovani motivati, residenti in Italia.
Età: 18-25 anni.

FAITHS OF THE WORLD: INTERFAITH DIALOGUE IN YOUTH WORK’ 19.04.2016 – 27.04.2016 ASHA FOUNDATION – UNITED KINGDOM

Il progetto “Faiths of the world: youth work and inter-religious dialogue”  ha lo scopo di fornire a giovani ragazzi da tutta Europa una panoramica sull’Induismo, sui suoi credi, le sue pratiche ed i loro significati. Questa iniziativa rappresenta una grande occasione di arricchimento: in Europa spesso il dialogo inter-religioso  si limita alle cosiddette religioni “abramiche”. Questo corso si propone di rimettere al centro del dibattito una delle tre religioni più importanti del mondo per numero di fedeli attraverso l’adozione di metodi didatti informali.

This course aims to help participants explore the value and nature of interfaith dialogue as a key aspect of peace education.
It follows many previous courses at the ASHA Centre that have been either about Interfaith Dialogue generally or interfaith dialogue in relationship to particular religions such as Islam and Hinduism.
Interfaith activity has always been a key ‘pillar’ of the ASHA Centre’s philosophy and work; ASHA is a place where people of different religions live and work side by side and where, through its educational courses, appreciation of different cultures and religions is fostered. It is hoped that
such work contributes to a more peaceful world as well as personal inspiration for individuals too.
The course will use non-formal educational methods to address essential aspects of different world religions and the relationship between different faith traditions, and will also look at principles of and tools for good interfaith work.
Methods used will include presentations, group work, sharings and games.
As an example of interfaith activity, the course will also include a day visit, to the Sri Venketeswara Hindu Temple in Birmingham. This temple has areas in its grounds dedicated to other religions, a shrine to a saint of Muslim origin and is engaged in interfaith work in the Birmingham area.

Even though active citizenship requires people to get involved, to play an active role in political, social and economic life many young people still don’t recognize active participation as important. Many issues are connected with youth and active participation – low participation of youth on elections, lack of knowledge about importance of being an active citizen and low engagement and participation in political, social and economic processes.
Summarizing the objectives of the YE are to critically and creatively reflect about the role and relevance of European citizenship, to promote active participation of citizens and their role in building our societies based on European values, to define role of citizens and NGO’s, to increase the participants professional competences in developing and evaluating projects with young people, to support capacity and partnership building.
Program of the Youth Exchange is adapted to the needs of participants and contain various forms of non-formal learning methods such as simulations, brainstorming, work in the groups, debates, presentations, etc.

E(U)VOLUTION: THE GENERATION” – SEMINARIO INTERNAZIONALE A SOFIA 10 -17 APRILE 2016

La cittadinanza europea è più che un concetto astratto. Si tratta di una realtà concreta che porta benefici tangibili ai cittadini.

Il seminario internazionale che si terrà a Sofia da 10 a 17 aprile 2016 cercherà di approfondire la necessità di informare i giovani sui meccanismi che regolano l’Unione europea. Si affronteranno gli aspetti politici, sociali, economici e culturali della democrazia europea e del concetto di cittadinanza europea attiva.

La metodologia usata durante il corso sarà prevalentemente basata sull’educazione non formale, tra cui momenti di discussione in gruppo, conferenze, sessioni plenarie, giochi di simulazione e di mercato. Il ricco programma permetterà ai partecipanti di esplorare anche la vita notturna di Sofia, godere di una passeggiata a cavallo ai piedi del Monte Vitosha e visitare il Monastero di Rila, uno dei monumenti più significativi e suggestivi dei Balcani, parte del del patrimonio mondiale UNESCO .

“E(U)VOLUTION: THE GENERATION”

Today, European citizenship is more than a concept. It is a practical reality that brings tangible benefits to citizens. The better Europeans understand their rights as EU citizens, the more informed decisions they can take in their personal lives. This will lead to a more vibrant democratic life in Europe at all levels.

The international seminar to be held in Sofia from 10 to 17 April, 2016 will meet the need to inform the young people how the EU works and the rights and obligations the EU citizenship brings in order to provide young people with knowledge and skills for active participation in the democratic life of the union. The political, social, economic and cultural aspects that the seminar addresses will contribute to shape a vision how to strengthen European democracy and reaffirm the concept of active European citizenship.
The participants will acquire competence about how to develop activities fostering active European. The ideas and knowledge generated during the course can be used by every participant and be implemented at local level.

Panel discussions, working groups, lectures, plenary sessions, simulation games and information market will be some of the methods used to debate these issues. The rich social program will enable the participants to explore the night life in Sofia , enjoy a horse ride in Vitosha mountain and see the Rila Monastery, one of the most significant and picturesque monuments on the Balkans, part of the UNESCO book of world heritage.

YOUTH EXCHANGE IN LITHUANIA – “TURN AROUND”

Uno dei più comuni tipi di paura – paura del pubblico (in inglese stage fright, letteralmente paura del palconisco), si riscontra in diverse persone di diverse professioni, da musicisti ad attori e imprenditori, manager o insegnanti. Panico da palcoscenico può riferirsi non solo per le persone che hanno pochi contatti con una o un’altra presenza in pubblico, ma anche per coloro che sono in pubblico tutti i giorni. Incontrollato o eccessivo stage fright può causare non solo disagio, ma anche molte difficoltà .”Turn Around” – è un progetto di scambio  giovanile, che avrà lo scopo di affrontare la vostra paura del pubblico. Questa paura può causare disagio, prevenire o addirittura rovinare la carriera. Durante le attività di questo scambio giovanile , cercheremo di capire come superare e conciliare, non solo la stage fright, ma anche altre paure simili.

L’organizzazione lituana “Semeliškių bendruomenės iniciatyvos”, insieme con i partner, hanno fatto un lavoro di raccolta delle informazioni teoriche e pratiche su questa fobia e proporranno attività basate sul come capirla, conoscerla e affrontarla.

Destinari:
Il progetto coinvolgerà un gruppo di 40 giovani provenienti da Italia, Lettonia, Turchia, Portogallo e Lituania.Il limite di età è da 18 a 28 anni. Il progetto servirà a sviluppare le capacità di comunicazione, l’autostima, la creatività e l’indipendenza dei giovani.
