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
