The IARS International Institute is pleased to announce an accredited training event that will be taking place on 24 -29 April 2017 in London. The event is organised in the framework of the Abused No More: Safeguarding Youth and Empowering Professionals.
The trainings will aim at cross cultural learning but also in testing concepts beyond national borders. The ultimate aim is not only to increase the knowledge and capacity of the participating organisations, but also to refine the finalised training material and courses in order to be appropriate at a European level. Furthermore, each organisation that will be trained will be expected to pass on this training to their remaining project young volunteers, staff and members. The findings will feed into the evaluation process of the entire programme which will refine and finalise its practical results and publish them in one volume at the end of the project.
Summary of key learning objectives include:
– Create knowledge and raise awareness of the specific needs and realities of marginalised young people who face (or are at risk of) gender based violence, abuse and discrimination (migrants, refugee women, Black minority ethnic groups).
– Develop knowledge and awareness about user-led/youth-led models of empowerment, engagement and participation.
– Familiarise professionals with the concept of legal literacy as empowerment tool for prevention of discrimination including gender-based and racial discrimination.
– Provide participants and their organisations with tools and additional resources including training guides that can be directly applied to their work with their target groups.
– Exchange knowledge and best practice among professionals from different countries who are working with diverse groups across Europe.
This 6 day training event will be CPD accredited. If you are interested in attending please contact@iars.org.uk
The Abused no more partnership is launching a call to collect inspirational projects in the youth discrimination field. We are looking for examples of good and promising practices of projects and activities aimed at tackling youth discrimination in different fields and through various methodologies.
Silva Mendes, Director for Youth and Sport at DG for Education and Culture, EC said: “Abuse no more”, introduces the notion of legal literacy in our formal education systems, in a rather innovative way to prevent marginalisation and social exclusion. My Voice – My rights gives us the opportunity to re-discover our legal systems and seek in there solutions but more importantly it makes us realize that individual rights are not merely a tool of preventing marginalisation but at the same time a reflection of our European values such as freedom, tolerance and non- discrimination. Re-exploring our roots and our common cultural heritage can be an effective answer to the multiple crises Europe is facing.”
Youth Advisory Group
As a user led organisation, IARS runs the Youth Advisory Group. YAB is a team of young volunteers aged 15 – 25 from different backgrounds and circumstances who are aware of the problems facing young people in today’s society and who are interested in an opportunity to do something positive about these issues. This body will be consulted at all stages of the project. This is an excellent opportunity for young people to get their voices heard and to address issues that are important for them.
