In line with objectives set in the European Regional Scout Plan 2016 – 2019 and following the successful implementation of the Work Plan 2017 “Scouting for Peace” project co-financed by the Council of Europe – European Youth Foundation, the Messenger of Peace Support Fund and in collaboration with KAICIID – The International Dialogue Centre, it was decided to continue the collaboration between the European Scout Region and KAICIID – The International Dialogue Centre in Peace Education and to organise a Training and Workshop under the title “Dialogue for Peace in Europe: Through Intercultural, Interreligious Dialogue and Spiritual Development” at Wassergspreng Scout Centre, near Vienna, Austria, in March 2018.

The “Dialogue for Peace in Europe: Through Intercultural, Interreligious Dialogue and Spiritual Development” aims at:
– Training young leaders willing to support the work of the European Scout Interreligious Forum (ESIF), the Spiriteco Network and the Overture Network as Dialogue for Peace Facilitators, and
– to enhance the Dialogue for Peace manual with reference documents and activities on interreligious and intercultural dialogue and spiritual development.
KAICIID experts will provide the participants with knowledge on human perceptions and misperceptions, cultural identities, the principles of dialogue, and designing and facilitating dialogue.

The European Region of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) is calling for participants to join activities organised on the occasion of the European Union’s upcoming European Youth Event (EYE 2018) which will take place in Strasbourg (France) between 30 May and 3 June 2018. The European Parliament will once again open its doors to 8000 young people from all over Europe in an effort to engage them in political debate and society, giving highlight to important key issues such as peace, democracy, unemployment, work and environment. The EYE 2018 will include a large variety of activities run under the motto “The plan is to fan this spark into a flame” in a political, social and cultural sense. It is a huge opportunity to meet young Europeans and make youth and our ideas visible to decision-makers.

Next to the premises of the European Parliament there will be the YO!Fest, a youth-led festival organised by the European Youth Forum that takes place every year in front of symbolic places of the EU institutions. The YO!Fest combines high-level policy debates, thematic workshops, educational activities, cultural animations and live music into a unique experience.

If a young member of your National Scout Organisation would like to be considered participant, please make sure that the online form is completed by the deadline 10 January 2018!

Regional Circular 30 2017: Call for Partners for five Erasmus+ Projects

image_circ30_2017

The European Scout Region of the World Organization of the Socut Movement has launched a Call for Partners for five Erasmus+ Projects planned to be organised in 2018 and 2019.

We recognise that the deadline set for this series of applications is very short. However, as you are aware we are flexible when it comes to the events when they come around. We want to make best use of the time we have available to submit early applications – allowing us to resubmit some applications if they are initially unsuccessful, and recognising that we have a finite amount of time to apply for grants, run the events and then report. We hope you will understand the difficult balancing act that we need to carry out.

Regional Cuircular 30 2017 provides you with information on the next five applications for which your NSO/NSA can be partners: the GSAT Self-Assessment Training, the CubNet-ScoutNet Network Meeting, the Refugee Response Conference, the Partnership Event, and the RoverNet-VentureNet Network Meeting.

If your National Scout Organisation would like to be considered partner to one or more of these projects, please make sure that the relevant mandats are returned duly completed and signed by the deadline 8 January 2018!
