Join our ‘Challenging the Crisis’ youth campaign: Apply by 13 March!

'Challenging the Crisis' is a three-year development education project engaging young people in highly-indebted EU countries (Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain).

Currently, a network of “Young Global Advocates” (YGAs) across the 6 partner countries is in place, active both in their own country and at a European level. They have been working together for the past year and are now about to launch the 'Challenging the Crisis' campaign on 'Social and Solidarity Economy' . We are currently recruiting new activists to this youth network in Ireland.

At this stage, we want to enlarge our diverse group of young adults in Ireland (aged 16–30) who:

• will create and implement a youth-led campaign with other young people in Italy, Greece, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain between now and the end of the Project in April 2016 (at least). Watch the video to hear them explain our campaign.

• will come together in Dublin regularly (travel costs will be provided).

• will be supported by IDEA and other organisations to implement their own actions related to the campaign with their own communities, friends, colleges, workplace, organisations etc. (activities will be discussed jointly with IDEA)

We are currently recruiting both:

i) members of the wider 'Challenging the Crisis' activists' network

(young people who will attend campaign events, be active on social media, bring campaign to your own organisation/network, attend meeting in Dublin twice per year) and

ii) members of the core group of 'Young Global Advocates' (YGAs)

(young people who will be active as above plus communicate with YGAs in other countries via our online platforms, contribute to the campaign website, represent the Project at external events, attend monthly meetings in Dublin, plan campaign events, possibly travel abroad)

You can apply to join our network in Ireland NOW – apply here by 13 March 2015. Questions? Contact us: youth@ideaonline.ie

IDEA is looking for a video production company/ animator for an upcoming video project. We have funding available to create a short animated educational video resource for members as part of The Code of Good Practice. The video will help viewers understand what quality GCE is and why it matters in the world today. The intended audience for the video are people who are connected to the Code of Good Practice and GCE in their work but not yet very familiar with it e.g. non-GCE staff in member organisations, board members of member organisations, teachers, youth workers, European partners, new members to the Code and new staff to IDEA member organisations. Please submit your CV and a short letter of interest outlining a proposal for the video (including the number of days you envisage and the fee) to code@ideaonline.ie. The deadline for application is now extended to 06 August, 05pm. Click here for the full terms of reference.
