Do you believe you can change Europe and Estonia? - CALL FOR MEMBERS

Do you believe you can change Europe and Estonia? 

Do you believe Estonia needs a little more inspiration in it these days?

Do you want to help make the world a better place and help people to learn?

If so – We are open to meet you!

We are looking for new members for project coordination to help us on our quest. Every day we wake up to find ways to inspire people to do the things that inspire them. We support young people and youth leaders how to learn about the World, Europe and themselves. We create opportunities for people to develop through participation and mobility experiences. But we can’t do it alone – We have time and resources limitations – so we need help so that we can be as wider and effective as possible.

There is no office, so you’ll be working virtually most of the time. You’ll have lots of flexibility and freedom with your schedule, so you can do other things – but we are not interested in someone who is a project manager to other organizations.

We can travel a lot which means there is lots of scheduling that needs to get done – so you should be a super organized person.

And, as our coordination member we might create other sources of personal tasks that you can develop too.

In a nutshell – We need a motivated and self-driven person... We need a magician...we need someone who will contact people and develop local and international opportunities and work with our small team to make this world a better place.

Can you help?

If you’re interested, drop me a note marco@nyh.ee – tell me a little about you and we can set up some time to talk more. Please send us your CV and answer these 3 questions:

·         What is your special super power? Can you explain how it works?

·         What is your experience in organize events?

·         What is your experience with Youth in Action/Erasmus+ projects?

We can offer a possibility to work in a small and creative team which is very experienced in local and international events, to travel and experience other organizations and managers developing their work, to contact people from many dozen countries, and eventually financial compensations through project achievements base.

Whoever will help us, we guarantee your help will make Estonia a better place.

Thanks. Aitäh. Spasiba.

Social conflict is phenomenon which occurs by the restriction of different ideas, feelings, values or motivation among people.

Conflicts are like icebergs and emphasize the positions of parties first, but the rooted causes of them generally are different interests and values. 

Moreover, the diversity of youth work can also create a conflict between young people from different social background and experiences, and also between young people and youth workers; but these differences can also be an opportunity to learn working together for mutual benefit (Youth Transforming Conflict, Council of Europe, 2012). The main aim of our training course is to contribute the awareness of using cultural differences as a source in conflict management.

The training course is specifically designed to provide a learning environment for the participants who are youth workers, youth trainers and project managers in the field of conflict management.
