Call for junior and senior trainer
Work Plan 2022: Human rights and Youth – the Right thing to do!
International Seminar
Budapest, Hungary | 18-22 May 2022
The Young European Federalists (JEF Europe) is looking for a junior and senior non-formal education trainer to facilitate a 5-day in- person International Seminar for the Work Plan 2022: ‘Human rights and Youth – the Right thing to do!’, supported by the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe.
Priority in the recruitment will be given to the current members of JEF Europe’s Pool of Trainers. Independent candidates are invited to apply if they meet the selection criteria.
About the Work Plan 2022
In recent years, the respect for human rights has been eroded in different parts of Europe and young people must unify their voices to remind the decision makers and citizens at large that human rights should never be neglected or instrumentally sacrificed for other causes, such as the fight against COVID-19.
With the Work Plan 2022 ‘Human rights and Youth- the Right thing to do!’, JEF Europe aims at raising awareness of human rights among the European youth and equipping them with the tools to counter human rights violations. The project consists of a consultation meeting (February), two capacity building seminars (in May and August/September), a series of local follow-up training sessions (May-August) and school interventions (September-November), and a closing conference (December).
About the International Seminar
The first event of the Work Plan 2022 will take place online between 18-22 May 2022 (arrival date 17th of May), gathering 20 young people with an interest in human rights, non-formal education, gender awareness and inclusion from all over Europe. The 5-day training on human rights and youth education aims to develop the skills of the participants to implement solidarity actions, as well as how to transfer these newly-acquired skills and this knowledge to their peers through 10 local follow-up training sessions. In addition, the facilitators will share the toolkit and guidelines which were created during the consultation meeting with the participants, and these will be discussed during the training in Budapest.
The main objectives of the seminar are the following:
- Build capacity among young people to raise awareness about human rights and human rights protection tools and mechanisms.
- Prepare a group of young experienced people to develop and implement solidarity actions and human rights campaigns.
- Create a pool of young people who can develop skills in connection with human rights to their peers.
- Disseminate the guidelines and toolkit created during the online consultation meeting (25-27 February 2022).
The sessions will be facilitated by 3 trainers (2 senior and 1 junior) with expertise in non-formal education.
