Are you involved in an NGO or any other associative structure and want to develop the skills you need to deal with the various situations you encounter? Want to learn more about civil society, working in NGOs and how to change things for the better? Are you willing to devote time and energy to these things? Do you want to be part of the new generation of leaders for civil society in Romania?
Then #haide in Program3 – a long-term training Program for current and future young people involved in the third sector, a school for those who want to contribute to the development of civil society in Romania and beyond.
Why is there a need for the Program3?
- According to the latest Romanian studies, there are not enough new people working for the third sector, even though the interest for getting involved in civic actions has increased;
- While most employees in the NGO sector are between 25 and 34 years old, most leaders in the sector have been involved in managing the organisations for more than 8 years, so there is a need for new generations;
- Such a program dedicated to the people involved in the civil society does not exist in this form in Romania; we need a format that brings together people interested in developing the third sector through new approaches, while learning from professionals in the field.
Who are we looking for Program3?
We are looking for at least 25 #trillenials – youngsters who:
- are involved in theor community, work in non-governmental organizations or volunteer for various causes,
- are aware of the importance of the third sector and are motivated to take it to the next level, thus having the potential to be part of the new generations of sector leaders,
- don't (yet) have enough experience within NGO environment style,
- are eager and willing to learn and practice working in NGOs,
- understand that the NGO is the new start-up,
- want to grow and do good for their communities,
- understand and respect the common values of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for the rights of all people
From our perspective #trillenials are those young people who are at least 18 years old, who know some things about civil society and about working in and NGO, but they do not necessarily have much practice in the field. They are interested in social, civic topics, even if they do not master them. They have volunteered and are willing to become more involved in associative structures, but they still do not have enough experience to deal with NGO issues. They have not yet found their place in the NGO sector, but they do not want to give it up. Maybe they flirted with the idea of entrepreneurship and realized that, in fact, the NGO is the new start-up.
What happens in the Program3?
Program3 proposes a one-year learning process, structured in two semesters with a predefined curriculum, to which is added a customized learning process, depending on the needs and interests of each #trillenial, as follows:
The first semester will be dedicated to technical aspects related to working in NGOs with introduction to NGOs and development of essential skills for working in NGOs such as project writing and project management, organizational development, marketing and communication, volunteer management, event management, etc.
The second semester will be dedicated to the thematic aspects related to the involvement of the community at local level through community development, techniques and methods of public participation, methods and techniques of non-formal education, projects for the benefit of the community.
IMPORTANT!
The period of involvement of those selected is one year (October 2020 - June 2021). The selection will take into account the availability assumed in this respect, and the participation in various events within the Program3 will be conditioned by this involvement. For more details on what this year looks like, see the Curriculum for 2020 - 2021 below.
