Training Commissioners Network Meeting
In October 2010 the second Training Commissioners Network Meeting was held in Madrid. At the meeting it was decided to have a network meeting for national training commissioners once a year to share experiences and work in depth with various topics. The Magyar Cserkészszövetség (Hungarian Scout Association) generously hosts this meeting.
Organisational Development Workshop
The OD model and its “disciplines” were presented during the Academy 2011 in Paris. The model was well received and prompted some useful discussion by the participants. We have now prepared a workshop for NSOs to help them to explore the model, its relevance to their organisation and how this could help them to progress their strategic development and growth. The first time we run the workshop will be February 2012, this event is open to NSOs who are interested in it right now and later it will be available on request.

Call for hosting Roverway 2016
As advised earlier this year, the European Scout Committee and the Europe Committee WAGGGS, have agreed to stage the following edition of RoverWay in 2016 to avoid clashes with other events. They are confident that there is much to be gained for young people, for the Member Organisations and National Scout Organisations, and for the two Regions. We wish to stimulate the provision of opportunities for young people to share their own views and dreams, to discover other people’s ways of life, to build things together, to try new skills and live adventures in a small international community.
CALL
With this message, we ask WAGGGS Member Organisations and/or WOSM National Scout Organisations to host RoverWay in 2016.
The attached document outlines the essential information needed for potential hosts. The candidature document should include all information considered relevant for the consideration of the Joint Committee. This may include proposals for: motto, main educational activities and experiences, venue, dates, motivation, etc.
DATES
The event is usually scheduled during the second half of July or the first half of August, when most European countries have their school holidays.
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS
The deadline for applications, signed by the International Commissioner(s) and sent, preferably by email, to europe@europe.wagggsworld.org AND europe@scout.org or by regular post to the
Europe Office WAGGGS, 38 avenue de la Porte de Hal, Box 1, B-1060, Brussels, Belgium AND to the
European Regional Office WOSM, 5 avenue Henri Christiné, Box 327, CH-1211, Geneva 4, Switzerland

CALL & GUIDELINES
WAGGGS and WOSM candidates elected to the Advisory Council on Youth of the Council of Europe
Ilaria Esposito and Alexandru (Sandu) Coica representing the Europe Region WAGGGS and WOSM were elected to the Advisory Council of the Council of Europe at the Council of Members of the European Youth Forum in Braga, Portugal last weekend 19-20November 2011.
The Advisory Council enables youth organizations to contribute to the development of the Council of Europe’s youth policy through its system of co-management. The election of Ilaria and Sandu to the Advisory Council reinforces the commitment of Guiding and Scouting to the development of a strong and mainstreamed youth sector which can support young people to tackle the challenges they are facing during these uncertain times.
We would like to thank all MOs and NSOs who supported the candidatures of Ilaria and Sandu in these elections within your National Youth Council or to other external organizations. Your support is much appreciated, and if you would like to know more about the work of WAGGGS and WOSM in the area of external relations, please do not hesitate to contact the Committee members responsible:
Christos Hatzidiamandis, Henrik Soderman and Eri Papadopoulou.
Gain skills in speaking out to make girls heard – join our webinar!
Each year, from 25 November to 10 December, women’s organizations, advocates and activists around the world join together for the “16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence Campaign”. This campaign links the International Day Against Violence Against Women on 25 November with International Human Rights Day on 10 December.
On 30 November, at 15:00 GMT, we will be showing the documentary “The Hidden Truth” online. Made by a young woman in Zambia, the film tackles the issue of domestic violence and is being used as a tool for social change in local communities in Zambia.
The webinar (online seminar) will give you the opportunity to watch the film and then take part in Q&A session with the filmmaker Penelope. Penelope will talk about how she made the film and why it was so important for her to speak out against domestic violence. There will then be an opportunity to ask her questions and to download our worksheet on making films for change.
After the webinar you can use the information and downloadable worksheet to make your own short film on ending violence. You can send these films to us. We’ll show the best ones on our website and send you a special “Stop the violence” promotional pack including pin badges, wrist bracelets, t-shirts and stickers.
To sign up for the webinar email stoptheviolence@wagggsworld.org with your name, email and where you’re from, and we’ll send you information about how to join the session. Download the “16 days to make girls heard” campaign sheet for other ideas on how to take action. Tell us what action you’ll be taking by emailing stoptheviolence@wagggsworld.org.
