“YOU ARE PART OF THIS WORLD, BE PART OF ITS FUTURE”
Date du début: 1 déc. 2013,
A.R.T. Fusion Association created this project in the context of the huge need in the world for a positive change. At the root of this initiative was a genuine and growing concern for how the world is at the moment and the uncertainty of its wellbeing and future. To bring along sustainable changes we need more global citizens and for this to happen competent global educators are needed, especially among young people and youth workers.The ambition that existed at the base of this project was to include on equal term partners from different corners of the world. When we explore global connections, dependencies and responsibilities we need to be as global as possible for a meaningful and powerful discussion, and for a long term impact. In this specific project we included 3 partners from Europe and 3 from Africa. The project was implemented between December 2013 and December 2014 with a grant from EU of 89024 euro (representing 80% of the total cost)The main goal of this project was to increase the capacity in youth work field to raise the level of global and social responsibility among young people from Europe and Africa.The project achieved the following objectives:• To empower youth workers to act as global educators in their own organizations and communities; • To increase the knowledge level of young people in topics like: global interdependencies (from cultural, economic and political standpoints), social and global justice, climate change and other environment topics, consumerism and sustainable lifestyle, Millennium Development Goals and Post 2015 Agenda;• To create pro-active attitudes among young people towards global issues;• To stimulate participation and involvement of young people in social processes as global citizens;The project’s main beneficiaries (22 youth workers) took part in a long term training course focused on developing practical working competencies in the global education field. The training approach was designed as follows:1) An initial training course for developing basic competencies of global citizenship and global education (for the future multipliers) (took place in Sierra Leone- May 2014);2) A practice phase in each of the partner countries (Ghana, Estonia, Nigeria, Romania, Sierra Leone, UK) where the multipliers, new global educators, prepared and implemented global education workshops for more than 900 young people in their communities. The topics tackled were: global interdependencies, environment, climate change, responsible consumption, sustainable life style. Some of these workshops included activities which can be found in the curriculum section in the second part of the manual;3) The practice phase was followed by a second training course (in Romania- September 2014), for evaluating the practice phase and for developing advanced competencies as global educators. The main aim of the training course was to complete the set of competencies of the beneficiaries to become independent global educators. The training course focused on sharing best practices, feedback, upgrading skills in facilitation, debriefing and exploring deeper topics from the first course and as well as new ones. 4) A final evaluation meeting was organized in Nigeria in order to evaluate and assess the impact of the whole project and to plan how the network can continue to work in a coordinated manner from now on.5) Each partner also disseminated in their communities (among other organizations and interested people) the project results (including the movie and this manual) to increase the interest in their civil society toward global citizenship and its importance. The main project results were:A network of strong and competent organizations active in global education field in Africa and Europe;22 experienced global educators;929 participants at the workshops delivered during the project (fresh global citizens);6120 indirect beneficiaries;A resource movieA Global Education Manual
