YOUTH EXCHANGE IN FRANCE - CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS

Noored Ühiskonna Heaks (NYH) is promoting a call for participants for a Youth Exchange named Active participation is a step for democracy which will take place from 20th until 27th February 2017 in Strasbourg, France.

Democracy essentially has two principles; autonomy of the individuals and principle of equality. Within these principles no individual can be subject to the rules imposed upon him and every individual has the right to speak on the decisions that will affect himself/herself .These principles also include the moral justification of democracy, It is often claimed that democratic system offers a more efficient form of government and their justification is the easier adoption of the decisions by people in the democracies and the tendency for not breaking the rules that they made. Because the decisions are taken with the consensus of different segments of the society, people are more likely to approve these decisions and those rules would not be realistic if they are not accepted by a large fraction of the population. In a democratic society, government should include NGOs and individuals in the decision-making processes.

Even though it arises as a problem, other studies shows that participation started to increase in different aspects. Growing number of civil society organizations and increasing visibility of the civil initiatives and youth organizations in the society shows that participation is on a rise, but in a different way. However, it is inevitable to face bigger problems in the future because of the descending participation rate.

This event will bring together 37 participants from Turkey, Estonia, Hungary, Croatia, Spain and France. There are 5 vacancies available. Participant should be minimum 18 until 30 years old.

The event will be held in English.
The Erasmus + Programme will cover 100% of the accommodation, food and activities and will reimburse 100% of the travel costs for the participants – up to 170 euros. There will be a participation fee of 40 Eur per participant.

All the interested people should fill the application form below. The application form must be sent to marco@nyh.ee

Application deadline: 23rd December 2016

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?

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.

Social conflict is phenomenon which occurs by the restriction of different ideas, feelings, values or motivation among people. It also consists of risks that can cause polarisation and exclusion among people and thus create unequal situations. This phenomenon occurs among people, but also represents incompatibilities between groups and organizations as well. 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.

This event will bring together 30 participants from Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria, Spain, Italy, Lithuania, Estonia, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia. The event will be held in English. There are 3 vacancies available and participants should have minimum 18 years old.
