The main theme of the PW 2012 is sustainable organizational and project management in organizations active on the local, national and international level.
The objectives of the activity are to support cooperation of the organizations and volunteers to run international projects; exchange best practices in the international youth work; bring information about possibilities offered by the Youth in Action programme as well as the existing network of International Young Naturefriends. This call is targeted both at the existing IYNF members and interested newcomers.
The planning weekend is also a follow up of the Networking Conference – Sustainable Youth Work Meeting. The participants will be able to share their experiences and exchange information on how they used the knowledge, skills and ideas they gained during the Sustainable Youth Work Meeting. They will be able to build on the knowledge they have acquired and basing on their experiences, they will be able to plan how to implement the topic of sustainability further in their actions and activities.
Discussions and plans during the Planning Weekend will be facilitated so that they are focused on the topic of local participation for global impact. The participants will be able to share their experiences and discuss issues related to impact and learning benefits of international activities vs. local actions. They will be encouraged to think how to apply the knowledge they gain during international experiences in their local environments and communities. The participants will be encouraged to brainstorm ways on how to increase local impact on various projects, and decrease the negative impact of projects, promoting sustainable consumption and practices within non-governmental organizations.
Planning weekend will be based on non-formal education methods like group-building activities, presentations, facilitated discussion through Open Space Technology, action planning and evaluation.
