Sustainable living....now!

Posted by SCIINT on May 15

The WWF just published her two year-report about the health of our planet. The main conclusions of this report are - once again - alarming. The health situation of the earth is decreasing fast. The ecological footprint - meaning the surface needed by our planet to meet the needs of human beings - is way too high. In 2030 we will need 2 extra planets, if we continue to live in the way we do now…

Make your action counts at RIO+20!

 “Your (volunteers) work might sometimes go unnoticed to the world, but your actions count in the communities that have benefited from your hard work, and they certainly count to us”.  This is the slogan of the newly created United Nations Volunteers’ campaign, addressed to the volunteers all around the world. And SCI became a partner of this campaign.

MultiKulti Youth Radio - youth voice has a choice!

Posted by SCIINT on Apr 28

The Center for Intercultural Dialogue (CID) in Kumanovo, Macedonia, is running a bilingual youth radio that is created by a multicultural group of youngsters. It is called MultiКулти  Youth Radio. It is the first bilingual youth radio in Macedonia and one of a kind in Kumanovo.  The idea to set up the MultiКулти  Youth Radio is actually not so new. It was proposed before but there have always been judgments about it. People thought it would never work because young people aren’t motivated enough to do it. But MultiКулти Youth Radio proved that they were wrong!

Volunteering for children with disabilities in Ukraine

Posted by SCIINT on Apr 27

      My name is Eilika, I'm from Germany and currently living in Kharkiv , Ukraine as   an EVS    volunteer with SVIT-Ukraine, the Ukrainian SCI branch. Together with our local Club of Volunteers, I'm involved in different projects. One of my favourite ones is our cooperation with „Pravo vybora“, a rehabilitation center for children with visual impairments and other disabilities. It has a very progressive approach to help those children to become as independent as possible. Besides it gives them many opportunities to develop their skills and senses through different activities. The idea to cooperate came from a local member of the Club of Volunteers, Daria Naumova.              

You can now apply for the Peace Caravan!

Posted by SCIINT on Apr 17

The Peace Caravan is a travelling project that will take place this summer. Groups of volunteers will travel throughout Europe to spread the word of peace by running workshops, perform street actions, participate in debates and more. The Caravan is organized by the No-More-War team in association with the Peace Messengers Network, of SCI.

Volunteers are able to apply for one of the four Caravan routes, through the online database. Just search at topic 3 (=Peace and disarmament). Volunteers who want to apply should have at least some experience in peace-education. The application deadline is 27th april and places are limited!

The Peace-Caravan is an important, but not the only activity of the No More War-team. The last two years we have initiated and monitored No-More-War camps, organised by branches and partner organisations of SCI. This summer at least 10 No More War-camps are being planned. Furthermore the team regularly organises other trainings and seminars and has its own blog.
