Details:
The mid term project “Citizenship and Democratic Participation in Political Transition contexts” aims at developing youth work strategies fostering inclusive democratic participation in the public sphere. The project is addressed to youth leaders and educators from the Euro-Mediterranean area and it is lead by MTÜ Trajectorya (Estonia) in partnership with the TFA (Egypt). It includes two residential capacity building courses and local actions implemented by participants in their local contexts.
Background
Recent months have seen an increase on new non-conventional approaches to participation of young people in the public sphere. These changes have been often leading to creative transformations and socio-political transitions in a number of countries in our environment. In some cases these changes have not fully succeeded and their transforming spirit has gone lost. The current course proposal wants to explore how youth work is capable to support the development of competences leading to a greater human autonomy and critical thinking as basis for full citizenship.
The Mid-Term Project
The mid term project “Citizenship and Democratic Participation in Political Transition contexts” aims at developing youth work strategies fostering inclusive democratic participation in the public sphere.
Through the project we expect:
• to develop competences based on the sense of justice, the wish to work towards the ideals of freedom, equality and respect for diversity, the sense of responsibility for one's owns actions, and a commitment for personal and community development;
• to increase the eagerness and openness towards non-formal education methodology and the relevance of educational Youth Work as an important tool to promote social change;
• to establish cooperation among communities of practice and network with other educational actors.
The project wants to provide as well a reflection and a practice of the new spaces and opportunities for democratic participation that new media allows, its relevance and its limits. And at the same time, it intends to develop consciousness of social media limitations.
Methodology:
The whole mid-term project is designed as a space for mutual learning, where participants exchange and further develop their approaches to Youth Work based on the principles of inclusive democratic participation in the public sphere. The previous experience of participants, in the formal and non-formal sectors, will be the starting point of the programme and of the learning process. A combination of non formal education methodological approaches (including experiential learning and outdoor experiential learning) and the experiences and support of practitioners in self-development will be used.
Profile of the participants
Candidates from the 43 Anna Lindh Foundation countries are welcome to apply to the course. Participants should have previous experience in working as youth leaders, trainers and educators (in formal or/and non formal sectors) and want to develop their competences promoting inclusive democratic participation through youth work. Attending participants should be committed and engaged to act as multipliers in their communities, motivated to build bridges among communities in their reality, and willing to become agents of change in their communities. The organisers together with the trainers team will do a selection according to their profile, motivation and capacity to implement local action. Cultural and gender balance, together with the participation of young people from majority and minority communities (and/or from organisation working with minority-majority) will be ensured.
Costs:
Transpor t expenses
The 70 % of transport expenses will be reimbursed (on presentation of the relevant receipts). Participants must choose the cheapest travel option, maximum costs will be established. The organisation only reimburses public transport costs. Only the participants who
attend the entire course can be reimbursed.
