VOCATIONAL TRAINING: „Building a real community. Intergenerational living and housing“
Juni 4 um 9:00 – Juni 8 um 18:00

The last years brought up a big variety of intergenerational projects. The challenge of changing family structures, different life journeys and backgrounds brought up a great demand and interest for social and community orientated living-models apart from isolated small family living and old age homes. More and more people took in hand their future and developed intergenerational community projects. Berlin as a traditional hotspot for the development of new living models can show a lot of different ways how groups started, developed and accomplished their visions. In this 5 days course we will give attention to the activists, their experience and advice. We will visit different intergenerational community housing projects and we will have the chance to talk to the residents and the ones who helped them to establish their plans. We will hear and learn about the process of self-organisation, financial, legal and social issues and we will get in contact with professionals who support groups.

For organisations interested in participating it’s possible to apply for a Erasmus+ funding for KA1 mobility.
Please note that you can only apply as an organisation, not individually.

INTERNATIONAL TRAINING: „Tear down these Walls! Educational Approaches against Europe’s Past und Present Division“ Part II in Bucharest (05.09. – 12.09.)
Sep. 5 um 12:00 – Sep. 12 um 16:00

We’re looking for participants from the Netherlands, Italy, Lithuania, Bulgaria and Serbia, who would like to join our training project in Bucharest and who work with youths/young adults.
The course is a followup of a training that took place in Berlin in March this year. The Bucharest training is conceptualized as an independent non-formal educational unit in this longterm project. We invite new participants to apply for the Bucharest part. It’s a cooperation project of us (solar e.V.) and our Romanian partner organisation Asociatia Expeditie in Cultura. (For more information about what happened so far, please visit our project blog: http://solarev.org/teardownthesewalls/)

About the training

In these 6 days we will learn, try out, discuss and evaluate a large variety of non-formal pedagogical approaches to deal with the European east-west history and it`s current consequences. To reflect the European history and the still existing stereotypes about „the east“ and „the west“ is an important part of political education and is contributing to a peaceful Europe in future.
We want to exchange experiences and perspectives on that topic. This also includes the presentation and evaluation of the projects that have been implemented by the participants of the Berlin training.
Furthermore, the participants will get information about the communist time in Romania. In order to deal with the wide range of pedagogical approaches the training involves activities such as doing excursions to historical memorial places, talking with contemporary witnesses, doing biographical work and trying out creative and artistic methods and developing skills such as dealing with conflict or using pictures and visual methods.
The language of communication during the training will be English. There will be vegan / vegetarian food and sometimes options to eat meat.

INTERNATIONAL TRAINING: „Migration & Inclusion. Chances and Challenges for our Future“ Part II in Amsterdam (14.10. – 23.10.)
Okt. 14 um 16:00 – Okt. 23 um 16:00

Migration – and especially the situation of refugees – is one of the main topics in public opinion all over Europe. Images of shipwrecked people dying or being rescued in the Mediterranean, people crossing borders in the Balkan countries or trying to cross the channel-tunnel to Britain are day by day in the news. Millions of people worldwide are on the move as a result of war, discrimination, social inequality and economic deprival in the hope to find a better future elsewhere. But there is still no clear European strategy helping to deal with the problems faced by those people, except for populist debates, rising hostilities against refugees, the over-securitization of borders and military solutions such as hunting escape helpers or criminalising rescue helpers at sea. Yet migration is of all times and people will continue looking for better opportunities. One of the main challenges of our time is the acceptance of the presence of migrants and their inclusion in European societies.

This double training course consists of two eight-day training events on the topic of migration and inclusion in Berlin and Amsterdam. They will be connected by a five-month try-out and evaluation period of conducting nonformal educational methods and best practice in all partner countries. The participants will learn, try out, discuss and evaluate a large variety of pedagogical approaches to deal with the topics of migration, anti-racist education, stereotypes, intercultural dialogue and conflict management. The trainings involve activities such as doing excursions and guided tours, talking to contemporary witnesses, work with creative and artistic methods, try out methods of anti-racist and trans-cultural education and sharing knowledge and experiences.
The activities in the program will qualify the trainees within the context of intercultural learning and stimulate them to develop and adopt new skills concerning the topics of migration and inclusion of migrants. The training promotes pedagogical approaches in dealing with challenges and opportunities in multicultural and pluralistic societies and empowers the participants to work on reflective competences and tools for social change. Thus the participants will be able to use their newly acquired expertise in their work with youth and young adults and share and multiply what they have learned with fellow youth workers. An online blog will be used as a working and dissemination tool to collect, discuss and reflect the content during and after the whole project.

The language of communication during the trainings will be English, the food will be vegetarian/vegan.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING: Including everyone. Creative and participatory method-training for the work with different age-groups
Nov. 7 um 9:00 – Nov. 12 um 17:00

This seminar is addressed to staff active in adult education, training and community work that seek to strengthen their non-formal teaching methods’ knowledge and attention for inclusion.

The course will contain theoretical inputs, try-out, discussion and evaluating phases for different non-formal educational strategies, methods and tools. These methods and tools aim to increase the motivation, concentration and creativity of learners during different kind of educational environments and to prevent exclusion. The philosophy behind the methods is to include the knowledge, attention and capabilities of all participants and create a participatory setting with necessary attention to the needs of all participants.

Training For Nature – 9. – 16. Juli 2017 – Rumänien @ Băile Tușnad (Rumänien)
Juli 9 – Juli 16 ganztägig

Background of the project
“ Training For Nature” project was developed based on the fact that the world nowadays is facing very dramatic challenges caused by global warming, desertification and acid rain or atmospheric pollution which took the shape of an environmental crisis affecting the earth balance and having consequences as spread of tropical diseases, malnutrition, relocation and reunification of
refugees and immigrant families, housing and food challenges, disaster relief and changes to employment patterns. Unsustainable models of advancement, unequal power relations and unequal dissemination and use of resources, key to the current worldwide socio-economic system of neo-liberalism, worsen structural disparities and influence most poor and low-income individuals.

The main goal of the project is to increase the capacity of youth-related organizations in Europe to become more sustainable and environmentally oriented in their work. The training course offers to the participants a holistic understanding of the unity and interdependence of human society and the natural environment. At the same time, we will offer a series of tools to participants that will enable them to trigger learning processes within young people in relation with the action they can take to protect the environment and build a sustainable community.

More specific objectives are:
– To provide tools and methods to 25 youth workers from 7 countries in Europe to enable young people engage in more sustainable and environmentally friendly activities in their daily life.
– To create environmentally friendly attitudes among 25 youth workers in order to help young people commit to a sustainable lifestyle and make environmentally friendly changes in their daily behaviour.
– To stimulate the participants to act as “environment agents” in their own organization and regions.
– To create a networking framework that would enhance the organizational and professional development of the 7 partner organizations towards interventions focused on environment and sustainable development.
The project brings together 7 partner organization from all around Europe in Romania, in an environmentally friendly location. They will share good practice, experience new methods and explore new sides of an environmentally oriented type of intervention.

Target group and criteria
The participants of the project are envisioned to be youth workers or other practitioners active in the nongovernmental partner organizations who wish to design and implement environmentally oriented activities with the young people they are working with. Therefore, they can be social workers, project managers, volunteer coordinators, communications coordinators, psychologists, community
facilitators, etc.

INTERNATIONAL TRAINING: Water is Life – Education on Water & Sustainability
Sep. 22 – Okt. 1 ganztägig

Following the title “Water is Life – Educational Approaches on Water and Sustainability”, we will try out educational approaches and methods for 10 days. We will discover and exchange methods which will enable the participants to cover the various dimensions (ecological, economic, social and political, human rights) of the topic “water & sustainability” in their educational day-to-day work. The training strongly focuses on getting to know different pedagogical approaches in a direct manner. Thus, the participants will have the opportunity to try out, evaluate and discuss a variety of methods: a simulation game, excursions and guided tours, nutrition based on a sustainability index, as well as other interactive & non-formal methods which are tied to intercultural, environmental and outdoor education. In addition, participants will be taught background and basic knowledge about water and sustainability.

The training is aimed at full-time and voluntary youth workers (32 participants) from Germany, Romania, Albania, Slovakia, Serbia, Tunisia, Finland and Italy, especially those who are invested in environmental education.

Training: Refugees in Europe
Feb. 3 – Feb. 12 ganztägig

        

About the project:

Millions of people are on the move worldwide as a result of war, discrimination, social inequality, climate change and economic deprivation in the hope to find a better future elsewhere. At the same time there is no clear European strategy helping to deal with those problems fostered by the “global north”, but a policy of fighting refugees by closing and militarizing borders and transit countries and criminalizing rescue helpers at sea. The refugees who manage to enter the European Union are confronted with tightened laws, with the demoralizing & protracting procedure for granting the right of asylum, with social exclusion, racism and stereotypes. Additional the rising right-wing populist movements, the anti-Muslim discourses, xenophobia and fake news in media foster violence and encourage people to crackdown on refugees, migrants and their supporters.

But the immigration of hundred of thousands of people to Europe brought as well new perspectives of self-organization and empowerment to the communities. Many progressive projects were starting all over Europe during the last year supporting, empowering and fighting for better conditions and freedom of all people in and outside Europe. With our training we want to have a closer look on the new approaches, networks and on best-practice examples of inclusion. We will create a space for exchange for participants with different perspectives and privileges, who are affected in various forms of discrimination. For this successful exchange and learning process allparticipants should be actively involved in processes of inclusion,in (self-)empowerment projects for refugeesand/or migrants and/orin contact with migration (self-)organizations or even part ofmigration self-organizations. We will involve youth workers, facilitators, youth leaders and activists with and without ownmigration and/or flight experiences.

When?

Our ten-day-training about“Refugees in Europe“ will take place in Berlin from03.02.-12.02.2018.

With:

We expect trainers, youth workers & activists from Finland, Portugal, Germany, Italy,Romania, the Netherlands and Greece who work with youth and youngadults.

IntERAct – Interconnecting European Refugee Activists & Supporters
Feb. 10 um 9:30 – 23:30

REGISTER HERE

The immigration of hundreds of thousands of people to Europe brought new perspectives of self-organization and empowerment to the communities. Many progressive projects were starting all over Europe during the last years. They are supporting, empowering and fighting for better conditions and freedom of all people in and outside Europe. The networking-conference IntERAct will bring people together from various European countries. In more than 10 workshops political activists, empowerment trainers, NGO-members and voluntary supporters will discuss current political topics from violence against migrants over common European strategies in populist times up to the new European border regimes and newly discussed immigration-laws. We will exchange and discuss our approaches of self-organisation, empowerment and inclusion.

The IntERAct conference is embedded in the European Training course “Refugees in Europe”, which is organized by the Berlin NGO solar e.V. together with five European partners. Under the slogan “We will rise” the participants will open their doors together with the local partner trixiewiz e.V. to create new networks and get in a deeper European exchange. Refugees and migrants-groups should focus stronger on a common European struggle: United we can learn from each other – united we can fight together for refugees and migrants rights!

After the discussion and exchange programme we want to dance and celebrate our newly created connections with a diverse cultural programme.

The conference-meeting will be held mainly in English language, but we will try to organize whispering-translation as much as needed and possible.

Info- und Vernetzungstreffen des Rollen- und Simulationsspielprojekts zu Migration und Inklusion
Okt. 15 um 16:00 – 18:00

Seit einem Jahr arbeiten wir als Projektleiter eines europäischen Konsortiums  an der Entwicklung des Rollen- und Simulationsspiels „In the footsteps of a migrant“. Dieses wird die komplexe Realität von Flucht, Asyl und Inklusion in Europa zum Thema haben. Das interaktive Spielformat soll die Empathie der Teilnehmenden wecken, sie für ihre eigenen Stereotype sensibilisieren und zum kritischen Denken anregen. Wir verstehen das Projekt als ein Instrument, um Stereotypen, Rassismus, Fremdenfeindlichkeit und Polarisierung in den europäischen Gesellschaften zu bekämpfen und demokratische Werte, Vielfalt und die Achtung der Menschenrechte zu stärken.
Das Spiel wird modular aufgebaut sein und auch an den lokalen Rahmen angepasst werden. Deshalb laden wir Projekten, Vereinen und Einzelpersonen aus unserer Region zu einem Informations- und Austauschtreffen ein. Neben der Information zum Projekt ist für uns vor allem auch das Feedback zu unseren Planungen und Ideen wichtig, um das Spiel möglichst nah an den Bedürfnissen der späteren Nutzendengruppen auszurichten.
Das Simulations- und Rollenspiel, kann später im Rahmen von Seminaren, Aktions- und Projekttagen oder Workshops Anwendung finden. Es soll in verschiedenen Bildungsbereichen und mit unterschiedlichen Zielgruppen eingesetzbar sein. Am Ende der Entwicklungsphase bieten wir zudem die Ausbildung von spezialisierten Tutor_innen an. Die Anleitung und Materialien des Spiels werden unter offener Lizenz später frei zugänglich sein.
Geflüchtete und Migrant_innen werden in der Methodenentwicklung aktiv einbezogen, um die unterschiedlichen Erfahrungen, die Flüchtende in Europa machen, realitätsnah einfließen zu lassen. Dazu arbeiten wir auch intensiv mit Partner Organisationen in anderen europäischen Ländern zusammen.

Wir laden Euch zum ersten Informations- und Austauschtreffen am Montag, 15. Oktober von 16:00-18:00 Uhr im Kultur- und Bildungszentrum, Bernkasteler Str. 78, 13088  Berlin-Weißensee ein.
