Hi guys, below the email which we prepared with Jessica to be sent out to all
graduates asap. Please confirm asap if we can send it out as we don't have
much time! Tomek
Dear Kanthari graduates,
the global network of kantharis is gradually taking shape.
In the last months our working group has received valuable and very
appreciated feedback from many of you.
As most of you were opting for a legal registration of our network we have:
- drafted a governing document and a web portal - for the future network
- developed 8 criteria for assessing the country most suitable for legal
registration of an international association. Out of 8 analyzed countries
have found out that Germany and Poland are the most promising in terms of
access to donors, relatively low costs and good legal framework and
availability of local kanthari graduates
- started investigating potential funding opportunities to build the capacity
of our network
On coming Friday at 3.30PM (England time) we would love to hear what you have
to say during the 3rd kanthari Alumni Meet Up Skype! If you want to
participate reply to this email and make sure you have kanthari_plus in your
Skype contacts! We will be sending out a detailed agenda tomorrow.
Recently we came across a European Program which funds capacity building
projects of youth organizations between transcontinental youth organizations
from Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa who cater to the needs of
vulnerable and disadvantaged youths. A prerequisite of the funding is the
establishment of mobility youth worker projects: training courses or job
shadowings like internships of youth workers in partner organizations from
other countries. We are planning to submit a proposal for this programme to
see if we can get funds for implementing the activities of our network
starting from next year: an online peer-learning system (teleconferencing
software and web portal which could be accessed from areas with poor
internet/eletricity infrastructure) and a way of making it possible for us to
meet and learn from each other face-to-face.
The proposal is planned to be carried out by a transcontinental consortium of
organizations co-founded by kanthari graduates which form the current working
group: SolidarityFilmDoc (Tomek, Tijana , Poland), Views International
(Jessica, Belgium), Thumbs Up Uganda (Samuel, Uganda), Bats in Action (Anja,
Brazil), Always Reading Caravan (Yoshimi, Thailand) and ... (David, India).
As David does not have a legally registered organization, a replacement is
needed. To implementing organization who would submit the proposal to the
European Comission and monitor the project would be Foundation for Social
Economic Development from Poland who came up with the idea of the whole
project.
Attached please find an excerpt from our draft project application which we
would like to submit latest by 1st September 2015.
We believe that such a project could be a great start up to develop knowledge
and exchange tools, increase the dissemination of these tools to the entire
network of kanthari graduates and other grassroot changemakers.
We would be grateful if you can give us your opinion about our proposal
considering the aspect, if we should apply for funding or not. Please send us
a reply as soon as possible, so that we are able to take your advice into
account. Further questions can be clarified during the 3rd kanthari Alumni
Meet Up Skype coming Friday.
Best regards
Jessica,
