PROJECT
FINISHED
The project within Erasmus+ programme for the years 2016-2018 gives Vege Poland the possibility to continue organizational reforms aimed at Europeanisation and internationalization of the activities and projects of our association, what was initiated by the previous project. The mobilities accomplished so far allowed Vege Poland’s staff to establish valuable contacts and get to be known to foreign vegetarian organizations, that they see us as one of the partners to implement together pan-European projects. Vege Poland was invited to participate in jointly designed trainings and job-shadowings, the subject of which takes into account the needs of employees of our association. We established relations with the following partner organizations:1. VEBU (Germany) 2. The Vegan Society (the United Kingdom) 3. Viva Las Vega’s (the Netherlands) 4. EVA (Belgium) 5. EVU (European Vegetarian Union).Thanks to the previous project for the years 2014-2016 mobility participants significantly improved their language skills and now the organization is ready to internationalize its activities, what is the main objective of the current project. Employees and volunteers of Vege Poland who are going to participate in a total of 22 courses and job shadowings.Together with our partners we have prepared a list of learning possibilities, which correspond to the needs of workers and purposes of participating organizations. We are going to participate in courses and job shadowings:1. Campaigning (England) 2. Effective communication as a tool for change (Non-violent communication) (Netherlands) 3. Project- and financial management: European grants and how they can empower your organization (Belgium) 4. Public relations for NGOs - from "Erm, what?" to "can do!" (Germany) 5. Fundraising (Belgium) 6. Effective Vegan Advocacy (Germany) and Job shadowings: 1. Mass event and fair organization (Germany) 2. Social media (Netherlands) 3. Communication / Online-Marketing (England) 4. Volunteer management (Germany) 5. Public relations (Germany).Another goal of the project is to improve the professional skills of employees from different departments: those responsible for personnel, volunteers, media, management and communication; and taking into account the specific needs of project managers. In addition to the specific needs of employees, the assumptions of the project include the needs arising from the functioning of the international labour market, such as:- work in a heterogeneous group and multicultural environment;- to act as representatives of the European education;- getting to know new educational, mediation and communication techniques.No less important are the new challenges that confront us in the changing Europe. The challenges also have been included in the educational program for the years 2016-2018. The project responds to challenges such as:- the need to work with groups of different backgrounds;- implementation of transnational projects;- cooperation in the field of unified system of values and definitions;- reducing unemployment especially among young people;- strengthening the synergies between different types of education.The new skills and knowledge acquired by the staff and the establishment of the international contacts should act as a long-term motivation to constant development of qualifications. The fact that the new skills are going to be certified with Europass documents and certificates from foreign partners results in the advantage that the mobility participants will be able to prove their value as professional workers in case of the need to change a job. We are convinced that (as is the case of participants in the previous edition of the Erasmus+ programme) educational mobilities that are going to take place in the years 2016-2018 will encourage the participants to monitor the activities of foreign public institutions, NGOs and business, as well as to be guided by European values and to promote them among learners and participants of educational activities carried out by Vege Poland.
