Se poate! Chiar se poate! iunie 9, 2010

Lacul Ohrid, Macedonia (frumos, nu?)

Sunt abonat de ceva timp (ani) la mai multe reţele de informare adresate tinerilor.

Volumul şi calitatea informaţiei este impresionantă – zeci de mailuri în fiecare zi care mă informează despre burse, internshipuri, traininguri, finanţări pentru proiecte de tineret, voluntariat, studii, surse noi de informare, rezultatele proiectelor implementate etc.

Lista este foarte lungă. Şi extrem de atractivă pentru toţi cei care se încadrează în segmentul 14-35 ani (asta în România). Eu mai am un pic şi ies din target şi… mă uit la cei din jurul meu şi… nimic. Eu le zic de programe de finanţare pentru ideile lor, le zic de plecări prin toată Europa (şi nu numai), plătite… nimic!

Exemplu de azi (l-am ales pentru că se potriveste mănuşă bloggerilor tineri):

“Virtually Active” – training program on using new-media-content to establish online-active-citizenship

18th- 23th July 2010 Macedonia

Open to: applicants from Albania, Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine.

Mladi info – FEJS Macedonia supported by the Central European Initiative (CEI) and European Youth Foundation (EYF) organizes “Virtually Active” – a training program on using new-media-content to establish online-active-citizenship. The training will take place from 18th – 23th July 2010 in Macedonia, reserving four working days for the program and two days for arrival and departure.

The primary aim is to educate young people and school graduates from CEE countries regarding today’s new media opportunities. The program’s goal is to present ideas and initiatives about how, with the use of new media and created media content, the youth employability can improve and increase.

The selected participants after the training process will become part of Mladiinfo virtual newsroom (www.mladiinfo.com) and will get a chance to publish their articles, video and photo stories on one of the most successful youth media in the region.

The training course will be a combination of theoretical and practical lectures and assignments, which is why the training is based on methods for active learning, or “on-the-job” training.

The focus will be on the following topics:

* How to write for the web;

* How to conduct advanced web research;

* How to take pictures and use Adobe Photoshop;

* How to use a photo camera;

* Vital elements which will guide their success in the attempt to establish and run internet media in the future.

* candidates should not be more than 30 years old.

Application procedure

The application deadline is 10/06/2010.

Sunt curios… dintre cei care au primit e-mailul de la mine cu informaţia, câţi vor trimite o aplicaţie? Pentru că cei care spun că “tinerii nu au nicio şansă” ştiu că sunt foarte mulţi.

Ca să menţin atmosfera din postul precedent aş încheia cu:

Dumnezeu îţi dă, dar nu-ţi bagă şi-n traistă tinere!

.

P.S.

În contextul actual, cu atât mai mult astfel de şanse trebuiesc fructificate zic eu… Şi-l întreb pe Rabbi, care recent a deschis o rubrică de “guest post”, merită multiplicată informaţia de mai sus?
