TRAINING ON YOUTH LEADERSHIP AND ECO-VOLUNTEERING
Training on Youth Leadership and Eco-Volunteering
Chenini, Tunisia 22-29 March 2022
Background of the training course
Youth Green Deal is a project aiming to build the capacity of
youth organisations promoting
volunteering in the Mediterranean area. In this project
we focus on our work with local communities
who are doing environmental work. So looking at how our
volunteer projects can support
environmental work: reducing the effects of climate
change; inspire volunteers and local communities
to mitigate climate change and lead sustainable
lifestyles. By working together with various
organisations we also want to focus on the
Mediterranean/global dimension of climate issues.
This project is created by organisations who are part
of the MIDI working group of SCI (Service Civil
International www.sci.ngo). VSFr Tunisia is the lead organisation responsible for the overall
coordination of the project but all partners are
collaborating in the implementation of the project:
CCIVS (global network of IVS organisations
www.ccivs.org) , SCI Catalonia ( www.scicat.org), SCI France
(www.sci-france.org ),
SCI Belgium ( www.scibelgium.be),
SCI Italy (www.sci-italia.it), SSD
Jordan, EVO
Morocco and Al-Shmoh Cultural Centre Palestine.
More specifically, the project consists of 3 trainings
(in Tunisia, Jordan and Belgium), 4 youth
exchanges (in Catalonia, Tunisia, Palestine and
Morocco), a research project and a final conference
taking place in Tunisia.
This Call for Participants regards the first training,
which focuses on youth leadership and
eco-volunteering which
will take place in Chenini, Tunisia
from 22-29 of March 2022. The training will
bring together 22 participants from 8 different
countries who will deepen their knowledge about
eco-volunteering (or setting up international voluntary
service projects combining study sessions on
environmental issues and practical hands-on work) and
practice their skills to be a group leader in an
eco-volunteering project. Some of the participants will
accompany a group of young volunteers who
will take part in the planned youth exchanges over
summer and others will conduct some workshops
in their own organisation on the topics dealt with in
the training: group dynamics, intercultural
communication, setting up educational activities around
environmental issues, conflict resolution and
being a group leader. Skills needed to make the youth
exchanges a successful, learning and inclusive
experience for all.
Methodological approach
Workcamps and youth exchanges focusing on eco-volunteering are
central in this project. Therefore
the training will focus on the knowledge, skills and
attitudes that youth leaders in this kind of activities
need. The training will use non formal education
methods and experiential learning which is based on
reflection linked to practical experiences and/or
learning by doing. An active
participation of all
participants is expected in the preparation phase, the
face-to-face training in Tunisia and the follow-up
the participants in the learning process but it is up
to all participants to bring in their expertise, to
leave their comfort zone and to make the most out of
this journey!
