At
the beginning of August we finished our Youth in Action project in what we
hosted an Italian youth worker, Bruno to be part of our team for half a year. We
already put some news about SIC project before but we would like to show shortly
its activities and main aims as a summary.
Do
you know why is the project called SIC? Because in the project Bruno was The Spy, the Informator and the Coach :)
We
will explain better!
In
the project we implemented 3 main activities by/with Bruno:
1. The Spy: Learning
everything about the process of how to send volunteers in European Voluntary
Service (EVS) Programme with the support of TE IS Foundation.
As an EVS sending organization, we shared our experiences with Bruno in
this field as well as he helped us to recruit new candidates for EVS. The aim
was that after this project Bruno can work as an EVS coordinator for his
Italian organization.
2. The Informator: Developing
and presenting information campaign in the topic of the European citizenship
and active participation among young people in secondary schools or community
places.
Bruno made his information campaign in eight secondary schools and in
some community places in Budapest (e.g. Radar Youth Office, European Day event)
reaching approx. 300 young people. The aim was to strengthen the awareness of
European citizenship in young people and to support them to be more interested
in European youth opportunities, rights, programmes and mobility. He created also
3 prezi presentations for the campaign what you can watch in “EU information
campaign” blog post.
3. The Coach: Coaching
(supporting and coordinating) two local youth initiatives achieved by two
informal groups of young people from the ideas to the end of their
implementation.
Bruno supported two groups of young
people to implement their ideas. You can read more about this activity in “RISE-UP
competition of ideas” and “Local youth initiatives” blog posts. The aim was to foster
the participation of young people, to develop their creativity and entrepreneurship,
to give intercultural experiences and to provide the opportunity to learn new
methods, to acquire new competences by/during their local initiatives.
