Welcome to Another World
Date du début: 1 mai 2016, Date de fin: 31 août 2016 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

"Welcome to Another World" is a Group EVS project with 23 volunteers from 5 partner organisations, spending 18 days in Reinwarzhofen, Germany, to support the educational programme of an international children and youth camp hosted by SJD Die Falken. The volunteers come from Spain (Catalan region), Belgium (Walloon region), Austria, Finland and the UK. During the activity period, they will be supported by experienced trainers of nonformal education from Germany, Spain and Austria. The objectives of the project are: - To give young people the opportunity to contribute to a large-scale global activity, enhancing their self-competence and increasing their intercultural awareness- To train a group of volunteers in nonformal education methodology and support them in trying out their skills in a safe space- To increase the intercultural competencies of a group of young people - To create interest in the European Voluntary Service programme- To support an international children's camp through a multinational group of volunteersThe volunteers will primarily be young people with fewer opportunities, who have not been at international activities before and have little economic means, so would otherwise be not able to participate at such an event. Around 3000 children and young people aged 6-25 will participate in the international camp, coming from around 50 countries worldwide. They are all members of the network of our umbrella organisation IFM-SEI. During the camp, the children and young people will build "another world" together, where they democratically take decisions, learn together, contribute to an exciting camp programme and think about how they can build a world based on democracy, solidarity, equality and friendship in their own communities after the camp. The camp is also an important space for our network of sister organisations to share the results of our educational work of the last years, learn from each other and forge new partnerships.During the first four days of the service, the volunteers will receive training on intercultural learning and nonformal education, and will then develop educational activities. They can choose if they would like to offer outdoor activies such as hikes, games for big groups, sports tournaments etc, or organise workshops on one of the thematic areas of the camp:- Peace- Equality- Anti-racism- Democracy and Participation- Cooperation- Gender equality - LGBT*IQ- Mediation - Peer education and young leaders training During the two weeks of the camp, the volunteer group will meet regularly to finalise the preparations of their activities, support each other in implementing the activities, and to give feedback to each other so that the volunteers can learn from the experience. Two external trainers as well as one person from SJD Die Falken will support the volunteers throughout the whole time. The volunteers can also ask for the support of more experienced trainers in the running of their activities, in case they do not feel confident enough. The activities will be held in different languages, and there will be a team of volunteer translators at the camp who will help out at the workshops. Expected results and long-term impact: - Higher self-confidence of a group of young people with fewer opportunities, having a long-lasting effect on their engagement in society- Volunteers with an increased set of competencies, especially in nonformal education methdology, intercultural awareness and communication skills- A varied and exciting programme for children at the international camp, delivered by young people from very different backgrounds- Volunteers motivated to continue volunteering and staying active also on international level- An increased visibility of the EVS programme- Strengthened motivation and enthusiasm for working towards social change of children and youth groups around the world.
