Scouts Queensland Fact Sheet 18 – Addressing Terrorism
Scouts Queensland Fact Sheet 18 – Addressing Terrorism Following the tragedy of the March 2019 shooting attacks at the Al Noor Mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, Scouts New Zealand developed the attached document “Addressing Terrorism – a Toolkit for Leaders”. Scouts Australia has provided material for inclusion in this document. The document is intended to assist with a response to a critical incident rather than preparation for a critical incident. It is a well-researched and constructed document that we think should be available, known about and discoverable within the Scouts Queensland library of resources. We do not anticipate taking this document any further than awareness of its existence. Daryl Scott Chief Commissioner August 2019 Addressing Terrorism A Toolkit for Leaders March 2019 SCOUTS New Zealand 1 Kaiwharawhara Rd PO Box 11348 Wellington 6142 WWW.SCOUTS.ORG.NZ Publication Number: 2019-0316 Introduction This toolkit and programme material has been devised to help Leaders in SCOUTS New Zealand who are facing the need to help young people address the impact of terrorism. We recognise that war and terrorism take many forms and these impact on many other countries and communities around the world. The background information is intended to: ● Prepare our adult volunteers by providing resources around educating and creating a culture of peace that celebrates diversity and inclusion. ● Align SCOUTS New Zealand with the Global SCOUT Movement’s approach to Peace Education. These programme ideas are intended to help young people: ● understand some of the impacts of terrorism and war on themselves, on other young people, and on their families. ● take part in practical activities which help young people feel a sense of safety and empowerment. -

It's Not Just About Tents and Campfires
It’s not just about tents and campfires An example of how a non-governmental organization empowers young people to become good citizens making a positive change in their communities as well as in the world. Emelie Göransson Bachelor’s thesis in Development Studies, 15hp Department of Human Geography, Lund University Autumn 2013 Supervisor: Karin Steen Abstract The concept of empowerment is deeply rooted in power relations. Young people have often been seen as incompetent, however, if given the right tools they can achieve positive change today. They are not merely the adults of the future; they are the youth of today. Education and awareness rising are key ingredients in the creation of change and development. How to educate, enable and empower young people one might ask; the answer provided in this thesis is through the Scout Movement. The reason for this is that the Scout Movement is the world’s largest non-formal educational movement with a positive view on what young people can achieve. It is a movement that teaches young people good citizenship and empowers them to become self-fulfilled individuals creating a positive change in their communities.

The Transfer of German Pedagogy in Taiwan (1940–1970) Liou, Wei-chih ABSTRACT Wissenstransfer spielte eine zentrale Rolle im Prozess der Herausbildung akademischer Diszipli- nen bzw. der Reform der traditionellen Wissenskulturen in einer Vielzahl nichtwestlicher Länder im 20. Jahrhundert. Ein Beispiel für solch einen Modernisierungsprozess bildet der Einfluss der deutschen Bildung und Pädagogik auf Taiwan. Der Aufsatz beginnt mit einer Analyse der neun einzigen chinesischen Pädagogikstudenten, die ihre akademischen Grade in Deutschland zwi- schen 1920 und 1949 erwarben, danach nach China zurückkehrten und nach 1949 in Taiwan als „Wissensmediatoren“ fungierten. Es wird gezeigt, wie diese Pädagogen versuchten, nach dem Vorbild der geisteswissenschaftlichen Tradition der deutschen Erziehungswissenschaft die taiwanesische Pädagogik und das Bildungssystem, das bis dahin vom amerikanischen Wis- senschaftsparadigma dominiert war, zu reformieren. Dies war mit dem Anspruch verbunden, anhand der kulturellen und philosophischen Annahmen der „Kulturpädagogik“ westliche und chinesische Kultur in Taiwan miteinander harmonisch zu verbinden und angesichts der politi- schen Ereignisse in China 1949 neue Lösungen für den Bildungsbereich zu suchen. Der Analyse liegen die theoretischen Annahmen des Wissenstransfers von Steiner-Khamsi und Schriewer zugrunde. Knowledge transfer played a crucial role in the process of modernizing academic dis- ciplines in many non-Western countries during the 20th century. Many of them began either to modify the old or to establish an entirely new tradition of academic disciplines; this essay will address the specific case of pedagogy in China and Taiwan.1 Its analysis Due to the specific historical context in China and Taiwan, the transfer of Germany pedagogy in this article was researched geographically in China before 949, and after 949 in Taiwan. -
