We invite you to participate in our new sustainability project! Through a series of engaging training courses, we aim to empower young leaders like you to become advocates for environmental initiatives in your local communities and multiply the knowledge with your peers.We are looking for three young participants to participate in our first TC on Sustainable Development, which will be held in Türkiye, Ankara between June 23th and July 1st (including the travel days). Training Course Overview:Our project focuses on raising awareness about crucial environmental issues such as pollution, climate change, recycling, and sustainable development. During the 7-day training, trainers will provide participants with tools, methods, and good practices for sustainable consumption, production, and income generation. Topics will cover sustainable development goals, circular economy, composting, and green cleaning products. The team will visit a wildlife collective to produce their own products (noodles, jam, molasses, etc.) and to closely observe a good practice.Objectives:What You'll Gain:Knowledge and skills in sustainable development practices. Gain practical experience in sustainable living techniques, from crafting non-toxic cleaning products to implementing permaculture principles. These skills will empower you to make tangible changes in your personal life and community.How to Get InvolvedIf you're ready to participate in the TC, simply complete our online application form. Be sure to convince us about your interests, experiences, and why you're motivated to join our project. To ensure the transparency of the process, the selection team will be formed of the project team members and young volunteers, who follow a previously devised set of criteria and invite the most successful applicants for the second round of interviews. Upon this stage, the selection team will decide and inform the three most successful candidates while reserving a waiting list. So, keep track of your inboxes!Important information Participants are expected to participate fully in the TC and other programme-related activities, such as another national TC on project proposal writing. They will also be tasked with delivering a series of multiplication activities in their local communities, during which they will include other members of their community (neighbors young or old, friends, relatives.) as well as other interested parties. For these activities, each participant, having taken on the role of a “multiplier,” will receive a small but sufficient grant based on the proposal they submit to help with their activity's logistical and administrative costs.Each candidate will sign the Scholarship Agreement upon selection to ensure full participation and respect for mutual commitments and obligations. This is due to the time, effort, and budget put into ensuring everyone has an equal opportunity to learn, but it comes with some reasonable mandatory steps each participant needs to take.Moreover, each TC's programme will be held in English. You are not required to provide proof of language proficiency or be an advanced English speaker, but basic communication skills are a must. This won’t be used in any way in evaluating your application but be honest and refrain from using AI-generated responses!Login or Sign up to join the conversation.  AndroidiOS
