ternYpe "Take Action"

After a successful International training in Kosice,  we managed to  strengthen the capacity and leadership skills of youth leaders and youth workers operating in the field of intercultural dialogue. Special attention was given to the equal involvement of Roma, non-Roma and other minority youth leaders. We used art as a tool in order to break stereotypes, to fights against discrimination to develop strong messages of political and social campaigning, to create an open space of intercultural dialogue and to develop the personality and capacity of young people. The aim of this seminar was to strength the leadership skills through different creative methods like theatre, artistic workshops and writing about our personal histories. The training course was challenging participants, new potential volunteers and youth workers of ternYpe to work better, gain new personal skills and grow higher. To discover their own leadership and develop it.

The main aims of the partnership are to to strengthen the foreign language skills, the initiative and the social and civic skills of young adult learners, Roma and non-Roma, to combat racism and xenophobia, as well as to improve the approaches and methods of staff and trainers in the field. As a part from this learning partnership program in Berlin from the 4th of Mai till the 13th of Mai take place a international training-course which brought together 12 young Roma and Non-Roma adult learners for 9 days with the aim to strengthen their social & civic skills to combat racism and xenophobia through creative actions and campaigns. The course targeted youth leaders and active multipliers working with new methods of artistic and intercultural dialogue between European countries, between Roma and non-Roma. The diversity of languages, cultures, identities and forms of artistic expressions constituted the strength of the group dynamic. Using art action as a tool, we developed campaign actions promoting our philosophy of intercultural dialogue, anti-racism and the inclusion of minorities to a broad public .The transnational training-course attempt to strengthen the mutual cooperation between modern youth theatres that work on local level with a specific concept of art action and social inclusion of young people of different social and cultural background. We believe in the long-term cooperation of this network and in the self-initiative and responsibility within the art and creativity work of young people.

Osztályfőnöki órák az Árpád Fejedelem Gimnáziumban

2013. februárjában a kisteleki Árpád Fejedelem Gimnázium rendkívüli osztályfőnöki órák megtartására hívta az RGDTS Nonprofit Kft-t, a ternYpe Magyarország Hálózattal együttműködésben. A foglalkozásokat fiatal felnőttek tartották, akik az osztályfőnöki órákat megelőzően részt vettek az RGDTS Nonprofit Kft. ‘Egész életen át tartó tanulás’ programjában, hogy fejlesszék kompetenciáikat szociális területeken, illetve aktív állampolgárokká váljanak. Az órákon 10. és 11. évfolyamos diákok vettek részt. Az órák célja a sztereotípiáik, előítéleteik felismerése és tudatosítása volt. A játékok alatt az előítéleteikhez kapcsolódó pozitív és negatív ítéleteik szavakba öntésére, megbeszélésére, feldolgozására, esetleges értékelésére volt alkalom. A fiatalok így felismerhették, hogy mennyiben vállalják előítéleteiket, meggyőződéseiket mások előtt, ezáltal megtapasztalhatták, hogy az őket is érintő társadalmi kérdésekben milyen közös és eltérő vélemények, tendenciák rajzolódnak ki a környezetünkben. A programok célja továbbá az egészen életen át tartó tanulás és az aktív állampolgárság népszerűsítése volt.

Nyári tábor Budapesten, a Normafánál

2013. július 15 és 22 között az RGDTS Nonprofit Kft. Nyári tábort szervezett a ternYpe Magyarország Hálózattal közösen Budapesten, a Normafánál. A táborban, amely egy tréning is volt egyben, 40 fiatal bolgár, olasz, szlovák, német és magyar fiatal felnőtt vett részt. Az egy hetes táborban a résztvevők különböző workshop-okon vettek részt: online és offline media; közösségszervezés és aktív állampolgárság; identitás és sztereotípia; kreatív kampányok. A programok amellet, hogy képességfejlesztőek, hiszen a tréninget a témákban jártas szakemberek tartották, egyfajta lehetőség a fiatal felnőtteknek, hogy mint csoportvezetők működjenek, illetve tudásukat, szervezőképességüket továbbadják és fejlesszék, emellett a média világába is “belekóstoljanak”, videókat, riportokat készítsenek. A tábor az ‘Egész életen át tartó tanulás – Grundtvig’ program keretében valósult meg.
