Youth work
Community work
Our work area is Culemborg.
The department of youth work would like to invite you for a Short Study
Visit in Culemborg 9-10 till 16-10 2004. The theme of this week will be
“outreaching youth work”
How to involve (social disadvantaged) youth in all sorts of activities:
cultural ,political, social, school, work etc.
We think it’s very important that youth participate in there own way, on
there own level. There for our youth workers go to places were young
people hang around and try to activate them. An important part of the
study visit will be for the participants participating in our outreaching
projects.
During the SSV we will visit all sorts of (umbrella) organisations who
work with the youngsters. They will give us information how they work with
the youngsters. We are invited to the city hall where the alderman will
tell us about their policy according youth.
We will visit an academic school for social work and participate in
their lessons. And above all, you will meet a lot of youngsters who like
to know you and want to know how you work with youngsters. Different youth
groups will show you all kind of things, and invite you to participate. Of
course there will be time for fun things, like visiting a (tourist) city
or window-shopping. So we hope to see you in October 2004 in Culemborg and
of course we will give you a warm welcome.

Meetings for creative support
Hosting organisation: Foundation for Social and Economic
Initiatives
Place: Warsaw
Dates: 7 – 12 February, 2005
Foundation for Social and Economic Initiatives is a non-governmental
organisation, founded in 1990.Its mission is to support local development
of civil society, both in Poland and abroad. FISE’s aims include:
professional activation of disadvantaged youth, working to support
underdeveloped regions, especially rural areas and small towns, promoting
and supporting social, economic and cultural initiatives, work to support
European integration, and the development of contacts and co-operation
between societies, support to self-government, public institutions,
non-governmental organisations and private sector work to support the
development of local communities, work to support the development of
entrepreneurship.
Aim: to improve the activities of NGOs engaged in youth issues by
exchanging experience, to make new contacts, find partners for projects
and to practicaly implement the knowledge gained during the visit by
creating a ‘Virtual Project’ and other such projects. The project will
also focus on breaking down stereotypes linked to the countries of central
and eastern Europe, and to deepen understanding of other cultures, as well
as providing examples of Polish organisations which encourage young people
to be creative.
Methodology: study visit will take the form of lectures,
discussions, consultations with experts, practical training, visits to
various organisations and institutions. The programme of the visit
involves gaining both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in
informal education. The subjects covered by the visit programme have been
consulted with experts in youth issues. We have tried to highlight those
questions that cause the greatest challenge to NGOs dealing with young
people.
The programme will involve people from different cultures. Interactive
practical, theoretical and cultural trips will break the ice between
participants, and help to breakdown preconceptions related to prejudice
and racism. Our awareness of the cultural gap between the foreign
participants has led us to plan a project to make the differences a
diversity to be proud of instead of a problem.
