'Vivid Partnerships in the 21st Century'
We are currently looking for partner organisations for the European Falcon Network, which is an exchange between the organisations in Europe working on a specific topic. The network meeting will be hosted by SJD – Die Falken in Germany.
Project in brief
The project 'Vivid partnerships in the 21st century' aims at working on making IFM-SEI’s international work more visible and bringing it to the grassroots level.
As socialist youth organisations, we are currently facing many difficulties: Governments cut our funding, neoliberal and patriotic discourses are on the rise, many political parties criminalise asylum and people even attack us because we are standing up against racism, fascism and educate towards an equal society.
We want to exchange about our daily life in Europe as left-wing organisations and the potentials of international work and bilateral partnerships through IFM-SEI. We want to reflect on our daily work in different regions of Europe and develop common ideas of global solidarity based on our understanding as European youth organisations in a world movement. Additionally, we want to train and empower the participating organisations to apply for international Funding, such as ERASMUS+ and the European Solidarity Corps and give the right tools to do so.
Location and date
The European Falcon Network would take place in Germany on 3rd – 6th of October 2019, including arrival and departure days. The location is one of the education centres of SJD – Die Falken, the JBS Kurt Löwenstein in Werftpfuhl near Berlin, and parts of the seminar will also take place in Berlin city.
