During the one month EVS service volunteers will be trained on the field of multimedia, communication, project management. We will test various techniques of independent reporting about the cultural event and its contents and thus we will learn the skills that are necessary for effective reporting about youth organizations cultural and other themes. At the same time, volunteers will be given an opportunity to select own field of interest and develop concrete products in service of the festival: it can be a documentary about traditional music of the region, a journalistic report of the festival bends, a promotional campaign of the festival for the tourists, ... ABOUT THE VENUE (ACCOMODATION, FOOD ARANGEMENTS) Volunteers will be placed in an old city centre of Koper. ABOUT KOPER: Carved grey Istrian limestone, eight squares situated at the outer edge of the town covered with a carpet of white stone, eleven other squares, remnants of an ancient city wall, narrow intertwining streets leading to the main square, boasting the largest cathedral in Slovenia - all this narrates the story of the past and of the present moment. Step by step the facades of the buildings and their interiors reveal the millennial history of Koper, once Iustinopolis, Capris, evoke the era of the Venetian Republic, the golden age of the Gothic and Renaissance - up to the present moment. The old centre is a great location because everything is close and you will really be able to endulge into festival spirit. At the same time, it is good to let the volunteers know in advance that the accommodation will be modest and basic (small kitchen, small room that will be shared by the participants). You will be staying here: http://www.koper.si/index.php?page=namestitev_single&item=234&id=21372 There will be basic kitchen in the house where, with the support of the team, participants will prepare their own food. 10 .

  • Palestine the Peculiar Case of the Palestinians and Their International Visitors
    Welcome to Palestine The Peculiar Case of the Palestinians and their International Visitors Master’s thesis Julius Weise 10451390 Cultural & Social Anthropology GSS Supervisor: Anne de Jong Annelies Moors & Dina Zbeidy Word count: 29760 Amsterdam 26-06-2017 1 Formulae on Plagiarism I have read and understood the University of Amsterdam plagiarism policy I declare that this assignment is entirely my own work, all sources have been properly acknowledged, and that I have not previously submitted this work, or any version of it, for assessment in any other paper. 2 Abstract This research engages with political tourism in the Occupied Territories of Palestine. Palestinians have little chances in advocating their political agenda due to their limited freedom of movement and the one sided media coverage on the region. By educating tourists Palestinians try to make their story heard. Therefore, in the Oslo Peace Process with Israel, tourism was meant to play a leading role – as an instrument for peace – and regional tourism was expected to valorize regional exchange and sharing. However, Israel tries to stop any tourism development in Palestine for economic and political reasons. This research focuses of the everyday reality of the still ongoing tourism industry on the West Bank of Palestine. For this thesis I conducted a fieldwork, research period of three months on the West Bank. Through participant observations and qualitative interviews I have tried to grasp this social reality looking at both the tourists and the Palestinian hosts. In this paper I argue that tourism in Palestine is to be understood as a form of everyday resistance.

  • March Bulldozer
    March 2020 Volume 19 Mid-term training MID-TERM TRAINING Presentation on Loesje posters From 12th to 15th of March solidarity corps volunteers from Poland, Lithuania and Cleaning day France went to the mid-term training in Bakuriani organized by Salto Youth (EECA). Animal game The mid-term evaluation allows volunteers to assess their experience so far and to Online reflect on the activities, role and support of the Host Organisation and on their own courses contribution. The mid-term evaluation is essential for risk prevention and crisis Upcycling management and it thus facilitates conflict resolution — if necessary! In addition, workshop volunteers share positive experiences and increase their motivation. The evaluation provided the opportunity to learn from everybody’s ‘ESC story’ and enables the volunteers to plan developments and/or further improvements in their service and to think about what they will do in the longer term, once their period of service is over. The evaluation should also raised awareness of the personal learning process, linking it to the key competences of the Youthpass. Overall, the mid-term evaluation should offer a relaxed and informal atmosphere so the volunteers feel comfortable sharing experiences and saying whatever is important for them. Although the volunteers had very serious reflection sessions during the day, in the evening they had a lot of bonding time. An informal communication with each other is also very important - it helps with sharing various event, activity ideas, tips and experiences. Erika Lithuanian volunteer: “It was really reassuring and wonderful to see the faces of my colleagues from the on-arrival training.

It not only lists activities for such refugee integration, but also regards how to: Every separate activity/action/method has a brief description on what it is and how it was implemented. It also gives tips & recommendations (for implementation) where and when applicable. In addition, the descriptions tell about the venues used, recommended number of people and anything else of importance (such as the amount of time required & whether it helped the integration much – in 5-star ratings). If available, every activity also provides a testimonial from the participant, as well as press releases, links & photos. The report also states that it is of key importance to properly organise and coordinate the activities.

  • PR OL O G +1 P Olish P a Vilion a T the Biennale Archite Ttura 2021
    Polish Pavilion at the Biennale Architettura 2021 PROLOG +1 Although rural areas make up 93% of Poland’s territory, only 40% of the population lives there. This data is an accurate reflection of worldwide trends. Engulfed in spatial chaos, having so far remained on the sidelines of architectural interest, the countryside has become the subject of the exhibition in the Polish Pavilion at the Biennale Architettura 2021. PROLOG +1, authors of the Trouble in Paradise project, in collaboration with an international ensemble of architects and artists, will show that in times of growing local and global crises, rural areas can be the answer to a worldwide ecological or housing problem. Biennale Architettura 2021, postponed by a year, will open on 22 May. On the opening day of the exhibition in the Polish Pavilion, a digital version of the project will launch online at labiennale.art.pl. The exhibition in the Polish Pavilion is organised by Zachęta — National Gallery of Art in Warsaw. We have had to wait for three years for the opening of the 17th International Architecture Exhibition — the 2020 edition of one of the most prestigious events in the world of architecture was postponed by 12 months due to the pandemic. In light of the events of the past year, the theme of the biennale could not be more topical. 63 national teams from around the world had to face the question ‘How will we live together?’ Presented in the Polish Pavilion, the Trouble in Paradise exhibition is a multi-threaded story about the future of communal life in the countryside, accompanied by a thorough analysis of the forms of work and life in these areas.

The non-formal education they found as a perfect way to learn new skills, gaining new knowledge and increasing the awareness of the refugees and the surrounding societies about the importance of multiculturalism and European values. This project is created as a platform for youth workers who work directly with refugees, to exchange, build and develop tools and methods that will transfer to the refugees by organising workshops with them, according to the situation and interest in the camps or other surroundings where they work. PARTICIPANTS PROFILE The participants needed for this project are youth workers who are directly involved in work with refugees, in one way or another. They come from a diverse range of backgrounds, but most are young people who are engaged in their surroundings, to improve conditions, raise awareness and activate their communities. The youth workers must have some experience with work with refugees and to be able to contribute in the project based on their experience.

    Anna Lindh Foundation 15-Year Review 2005-2020 Co-funded by the European Union on the occasion of the 25th Anniversary of the EuroMediterranean Partnership 2005-2020 Anna Lindh Foundation 15-Year Review 2005-2020 Foreword by the ALF President In my capacity as President of the Anna Lindh Foundation, I present with pride the Review of the first 15 years of activity of the Foundation. As the first institution of the EuroMediterranean Partnership, it has responded since its creation in 2005 to the ambitious mandate given by the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the region to promote closer human, cultural and social relationships between the people of the region. First and foremost, I would like to extend a warm and sincere thank you to the Member States of the EuroMed region and the European Commission that have trusted and entrusted the Anna Lindh Foundation, ensuring throughout its institutional life the needed political and financial support. I would like to recognize the value of the collaborations established with the UFM, UNESCO, League of Arab States, CMI and World Bank, the UNAoC, OCDE, OSCE, British Council, Club de Madrid, Unimed, Copeam—to name only a few of the partners who made it possible for the ALF to ensure long-term impact, reach and quality of its action. The ALF 15-Year Review testifies this achievement, but the best testimony comes from the stories of all the beneficiaries of the Foundation’s actions, many of whom, nearly a million, I have had the pleasure to meet personally throughout my mandate. I have also had the opportunity to meet with people from different cultural backgrounds in an effort to develop their skills and knowledge in relation to diversity management and intercultural communication; to conceive and implement collaboration projects within their society and across the region; to receive awards for the recognition of their efforts and commitment to dialogue work; and to support the strengthening of civil society in the different countries of the Partnership.
