Final Evaluation/Conclusion

Pre-Amble

Background National Coordinators in the evaluations of 2001-2002 requested to receive greater support to implement the overall aims and goals of the Euro Med framework and specifically to receive greater human resource support in their geographic area of responsibility (their country).

In 2003 and 2004 the SALTO YOUTH EURO-MED Resources Center developed a concept of a training course specifically aimed at meeting this specific request of National Coordinators and to build widening network of human resources.

During this same period this concept was implemented and continually improved through evaluations in Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco

In July, 2005 the Euro-Med Multiplier training course now known as SALTO’ TEMM arrived in Israel.

The Aim o To increase the overall knowledge of participants in the aims, goals and direction of the Euro-Med Youth Program.

o To build a human resource base for National Coordinators and future National Agencies.

o To increase the presentation skills of future Multipliers and their knowledge of existing tools and capabilities to ‘create new tools’.

o An intercultural learning experience due to the many different ethnic and religious background of participants.

o The building of a ‘pool’ of individuals who although in the past have been working with the same general purpose and aims have been working as isolated individuals and not as a team.

o To select Multipliers from the participants and to set up a ‘study plan’ for those not selected to become Multipliers in the future.

o Motivation

The Method Ø An intensive 5 day seminar held in the Druze village of Peki’in in the North of Israel.

Ø The use of 4 trainers, lead by ‘the man’ of SALTO – Bernard Abrignani

Ø Pre preparation by the participants, including the bringing and presentation of available tools used by each organization.

Ø Presentation of available tools of SALTO and those of the National Coordinator.

Ø Tip sessions to train the participants on how to improve their presentation skills (this will be expanded upon in the report).

Ø Role playing and presentations.

Ø Group discussions to increase personal knowledge of the Euro-Med framework and goals.

Ø The use and learning of ice breakers and energizers including the understanding of their purpose.

Ø Evaluations to learn from each others strengths and weakness – included constructive criticism.

Ø Social evenings to develop friendships, understanding and ties between the participants

Special Note Of special interest in the SALTO’ TEMM Israel was the emphasis of the intercultural theme through the attendance of representatives of the majority of all Israeli cultures and religions (Druze, Bedouins, Palestinians, Moslems, Christians and Jews).

Letter from the National Coordinator of Israel

The Euro Med Youth Programme in Israel has been implemented since 2000 by the National coordinator within the framework of the Israel youth Exchange Council.

Activities on national and international level included: Local trainings and information meetings, Dissemination of information, publications, presentations, support for organizations and promotion of different activities.

On the international level activities included organizing international seminars and study visits, sending participants to training courses, seminars and meetings and collaboration with the NAs and NCs in the European and Mediterranean countries the EC and the different actors in the programme.

The NC has been working closely with the SALTO RC in INJEP, France and the highlight of the joint work is the training course for multipliers of the youth programme in Israel. The importance of training actors to become multipliers and assist the NC in further developing the youth programme in Israel became a necessity and so I am pleased that it was realized and the positive results can be seen in this report.

Finally, I would like to thank Bernard Abrignani, head of the Euro Med center for his personal involvement in organizing and implementing the course and his training, Claudio Kogon and Essie Arbiv who were part of the training team and Dan wollner, one of the most prominent actors within the Euro Med Youth Programme for preparing and editing this report.

The participants were split into 2 groups Each group had to position themselves in order – without speaking based on: a) Month of Birthday b) Private Name c) Name of Organization d) City of residence

The groups where then put together and each participant had to position themselves geographically (north, south, east, west) - without talking a) where they were born b) where they live today Each participant had to position them on an imaginery line (1 to 10 ) dependant on: a) their knowledge of Euro Med b) their participation in Euro Med projects c) Their language knowledge

Tips

After each presentation a ‘tip’ was given on how one may improve personal presentation skills and effectiveness.

Tip 1

Annotation (the use of ones voice) The voice is an important tool in capturing your audience, by its melody it can either activate the audience’s interest or put them to sleep.

The melody of the voice – it’s rising and falling, the increase in tone to emphasis points the way questions are asked, the involvement of the audience using their personnel experiences, the voice can be used as a tool for interaction, for involvement. Language must be matched to the level and knowledge of the audience; you can talk above them or below them – but to them, at their level at their understanding.

You must do your homework; you must know who you are talking to. A presentation using English vocabulary and English key words will not be effective to a Hebrew speaking audience. A different language would be used to youth workers compared to the youth themselves.

20 Tip 2 The use of tools and materials.

The participants where initially divided into groups of 2 and asked 2 questions: a) What are the most important tools that can be used in presentations? b) To clarify these skills by groups and categories based on personal skills that you are ‘born’ with and those that you can learn and develop. The groups of 2 where then combined to groups of 4, who discussed there answers based on the above questions and combined there answers to the 4-5 most important for each questions. These groups where then combined to groups of 8 with the same intention, followed by a general discussion by all the participants and trainers – lead by Bernhard. The conclusions where as follows: 1) papers/paper boards - newspapers - flyers/brochures - shows/stands, conventions - toys - human (body language, voice) - vision - songs - music tools - nice words - drama skills - personal example - charisma – personal appeal - books - documents - human communication 2) Personal - Creative - Logistic - Arts - Gadgets - External human resources - Variety of intelligences

Tip 3 Using the Senses Regarding the five senses, we mainly use “the vision and the listening”. The three other are rarely used.

Researches say that… When we read we remember 10% When we listen – 20% When we see – 30% When we listen and see – 50% From what it is said by ourselves – 80% What is it said and done by ourselves – 90%.

Conclusion: We should always use a combination of the senses for maximum results and where possible involve the audience in active physical exercises to allow greater memory absorbance.

Tip 4 Initial Description of the Euro Med Framework - Having food of different countries. - Making the video running all the time (important to choose one that has not to be explained, a good example, including perhaps explanatory text). - Having photo-albums of youth activities. - It would be nice to create a game as a tool, for example, a puzzle; having a games corner. Exercise: What is the EuroMed programme? (Only to be answered with a flick-chart and a marker).

The questions/description to the audience: Who is the target group? Youth. What are the actions? 1, 2 and 5. What is action 5? An action that supports the other actions. What are the priorities? Environment, role of the women, fight against racism and xenophobia, minorities, active participation. What are the things that are to be tackled and used? Project management and intercultural learning. Each answer creates the eyes, nose, mouth, ears and hair, making a one draw of a Euro Med “happy face”.

Tip 5 Group – Leader – Objective What are the possible interactions between the Group, Leader and Objective? - Leader-objective close to each other and far of the group: a team satisfied from his work but not aware of what is going on with the group.

- Leader-group close to each other and far of the objective: everyone enjoys but there is none educational process happening according to the objectives – lot of fun and that’s all. - Group-objective close to each other and far from the leader: the group is developing their own objectives and the leader is being pushed out.

The best thing is to have the three elements in equal interaction one with the other. 1) Attitude of the leader Giving the information…

Leader

Audience

2) Creating a dialogue… Leader Audience

3) Learning by doing (by the audience)…

Audience

Leader

Message

All what the Leader wants to say All what the Leader says really All what the participants receive by listening All what the participants are understanding All what the participants are reminding All what the participants are able to give back

All what the participants will do with…

PRESENTATIONS

Methodology

The participants where divided into five groups of their own choice. Each group was given a topic that they had to present. The groups could use all available tools (including SALTO multi media) and necessary equipment to creatively prepare their own tools (computers, internet, camera’s, paper, stationary etc.). The trainers where available at all times to give assistance and answer questions. The groups where given close to one and half days to prepare their presentations. Presentations where to be no longer than one hour, after which an evaluation was made by the observers, reporters, audience and trainers. After each evaluation a tip was given on methods of presentations and presentation tools.

Trainers: · Information was to the point · A lot of information for a first meeting and maybe confusing · Short video clips confused the train of thought

32 · Didn’t get across major points and theme/aim of Euro Med · To much use of ‘females’ as a marketing tool

53 The Euro-Mediterranean Conference of Ministers of Foreign Affairs, held in Barcelona on 27-28 November 1995, marked the starting point of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (Barcelona Process), a wide framework of political, economic and social relations between the Member States of the European Union and Partners of the Southern Mediterranean.

The latest EU enlargement, on 1st May 2004, has brought two Mediterranean Partners (Cyprus and Malta) into the European Union, while adding a total of 10 to the number of Member States. The Euro- Mediterranean Partnership thus comprises 35 members, 25 EU Member States and 10 Mediterranean Partners (Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestinian Authority, Syria, Tunisia and Turkey). Libya has observer status since 1999.

The Barcelona Process is a unique and ambitious initiative, which laid the foundations of a new regional relationship and which represents a turning point in Euro-Mediterranean relations. In the Barcelona Declaration, the Euro-Mediterranean partners established the three main objectives of the Partnership:

1. The definition of a common area of peace and stability through the reinforcement of political and security dialogue (Political and Security Chapter).

2. The construction of a zone of shared prosperity through an economic and financial partnership and the gradual establishment of a free-trade area (Economic and Financial Chapter).

3. The rapprochement between peoples through a social, cultural and human partnership aimed at encouraging understanding between cultures and exchanges between civil societies (Social, Cultural and Human Chapter).

The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership comprises two complementary dimensions:

· Bilateral dimension. The European Union carries out a number of activities bilaterally with each country. The most important are the Euro-Mediterranean Association Agreements that the Union negotiates with the Mediterranean Partners individually. They reflect the general principles governing the new Euro-Mediterranean relationship, although they each contain characteristics specific to the relations between the EU and each Mediterranean Partner.

· Regional dimension. Regional dialogue represents one of the most innovative aspects of the Partnership, covering at the same time the political, economic and cultural fields (regional co-operation). Regional co-operation has a considerable strategic impact as it deals with problems that are common to many Mediterranean Partners while it emphasises the national complementarities.

The multilateral dimension supports and complements the bilateral actions and dialogue taking place under the Association Agreements.

The existing MEDA programme is the main financial instrument for the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership. From 1995 to 2003, MEDA committed € 5,458 million in co-operation programmes, projects and other supporting activities, the regional activities comprising around 15% of this budget. The other important source of funding is the European Investment Bank that has lent € 14 billion for developing activities in the Euro-Mediterranean Partners since 1974 (€ 3.7 billion in 2002-2003).

54 Frequently Asked Questions

What is Youth for Europe?

(Action 1)

Why have youth exchanges?

Young people, by being brought into contact with other cultures and other realities, can learn a lot from each other and are able to discover and explore similarities and differences between their cultures. Such an experience can help combat negative prejudices and stereotypes. Moreover, the effect of a youth exchange on the local population can give rise to more positive awareness of other cultures and have an impact not only on the young people themselves and their associations’ activities, but also on the local communities.

What is a youth exchange?

A youth exchange brings together groups of young people from different backgrounds from two or more countries, providing them with an opportunity to discuss and confront various themes, whilst learning about each other’s countries and cultures.

Exchanges between Programme countries can be bilateral, trilateral or multilateral. They must take place in one of the partner countries involved in the project. Exchanges do not necessarily imply reciprocity, i.e. the sending group need not become the host group in a second phase of the project. If it does, a separate application must be submitted for the second phase.

In some cases multilateral exchanges can be itinerant, i.e. the entire exchange group moves through several countries during the activity.

Note - what an exchange is not!

The following activities are not eligible for grants under the YOUTH programme:

· statutory meetings of organisations · holiday travel · language courses · school class exchanges · academic study trips · performance tours · competitions · exchange activities which can be classed as tourism · exchange activities which aim to make financial profit

Who can participate?

Groups of young people, in principle aged between 15 and 25 and legally resident in a Programme country or third country, can participate in a youth exchange.

All exchanges must involve at least one EU Member State.

EVALUATION/CONCLUSIONS

Due to the methodology used by the trainers and the program the participants:

1) Increased their overall knowledge of Euro Med, this was achieved by:

§ Mixing of the presentation groups between participants with different levels of experience § Topics of each presentation emphasized different aspects of the Euro Med framework § Tools provided

58 § Informal Activities that allowed the participants to discuss personal experiences

2) The Building of a Human Resource Base for the National Coordinator/Agency: § In the final personal and trainers evaluations participants where divided into 4 categories – Multipliers Multipliers ‘L’ Future Multipliers ‘a’ Future Multipliers ‘b’ § The National/Coordinator can utilize Multipliers and Multipliers ‘L’ immediately to increase his human resource base and increase his/her activities

3) Presentation Skills: § Through the use of tips provided by the trainers the trainers the participants increased their presentation skills. This was emphasized by each new presentation, that utilized the tips provided by previos presentations § By observing, reporting and evaluating presentations each participant increased his/her own skills § Learning of existing tools and the possibilities of creating new tools § Self experience and understanding of each others and ones own restrictions and the need to work as a team to strengthen each other

4) Intercultural Learning Experience § The seminar included participants of the majority of the cultures (Bedouin, Druze, Moslem, Christian, Jewish) § Examples of different projects where given, examined and used that emphasized intercultural learning, minority groups and racialism.

5) Building of a ‘pool’ of a team that works together § Through the ice breakers the participants started to know each other § By the mixing of groups – actors, observers, reporters, audience § The presentation group (actors) worked intensively together, this group was specifically selected to mix cultural differences § The free/social evenings were a tool to strengthen relationships and future cooperation

6) Motivation § In the final evaluation all participants concluded to continue this seminar with future meetings, to continue personal contact and to learn from each other to advance the aims of their NGOs within the Euro Med framework

7) Multipliers § Due to the diversity of the participants the trainers decided in their end evaluation to form 4 groups:

· Multipliers – who could immediately start helping the National Coordinator and increase the networking of Euro Med in Israel

· ‘Learner’ Multipliers – who could start immediately start helping the National Coordinator and increase the networking of Euro Med in Israel, but under the

59 future SALTO courses.

· Intermediates – who needed further training and participation in SALTO courses and had to do a further Multiplier seminar..

· Beginners – who needed further basic knowledge on Euro Med, had to be involved in basic SALTO training seminars and had to be involved in a further Multiplier seminar.
