Photo from a meeting inside office

The Institute Circle, a member of the Anna Lindh Foundation in Slovenia, started a mentoring program in Plav and Gusinje in Montenegro in February, to raise awareness about Dementia.

This international development cooperation is in partnership between the Institute Circle in Slovenia and local partners in Montenegro, Izviđačka četa Prokletije - Plaare and Udruzenje Impuls. 

The Institute Circle and Udruzenje Impuls carry out this mentoring program within the framework of the project "Protection of the right to dignified ageing and dementia prevention", funded by the European Union and the Ministrstvo za zunanje zadeve RS / Slovenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 

We believe in the power of international development cooperation in combating all forms of discrimination, including ageism; we look forward to having insights on further development within this promising program! 

International Youth Day 2023

Submitted by Slovenia on Tue, 19/09/2023 - 13:34
Youth day - EPEKA

The EPEKA association organized the event the day before the official date of the International Youth Day. The event was held on Maribor Island (Mariborski otok), which belongs to Natura 2000; nature conservation network of the European Union and one of the world's largest protected areas. In 1999, the United Nations declared August 12 as International Youth Day and devoted it to discussing various issues related to young people and to reminding them of their important role in society.

This year's theme of International Youth Day is Green knowledge for young people: On the way to a sustainable world, and in the EPEKA Association,  this year's event was named "Green knowledge for young people: On the way to a sustainable world".

“Today, the world is embarking on the path of the green transition. The transition to an environmentally sustainable and climate-friendly world is not only crucial for responding to the global climate crisis, but also for achieving the goals of sustainable development. A successful transition to a greener world will depend on the development of green knowledge and skills of the population. Green skills are knowledge, abilities, values and attitudes that are necessary for living in a sustainable and resource-efficient society, its development and support.”

Invitation to join an online focus group: the EU Gender Action Plan III from the perspective of CSOs in the southern Mediterranean region

Submitted by Slovenia on Fri, 07/07/2023 - 14:14
11th of July at 17.00 CEST via Zoom

اللغة العربية فيما يلي

We invite you for an online focus group where we exchange and learn together about the third EU Gender Action Plan (GAP III) and the EU's renewed partnership with the Southern Neighborhood - A new agenda for the Mediterranean from the perspective of Civil Society Organizations and our role as partners for gender equality and sustainable development in the southern Mediterranean region. We focus on integrating the GAP III into the new agenda for the Mediterranean from theory to practice.

The EU's latest Gender Action Plan (GAP III) aims to integrate intersectional, gender transformative, and human rights-based approaches into all its external actions with an ambition that 85% of its external actions by 2025 will include gender equality as a significant goal or principle.

Through desk and participatory research, Reka Si, a research institute in Slovenia, in cooperation with Cultural Club Ali Belhouane in Tunisia, aim to examine the practical challenges, opportunities, and recommendations from the perspective of Civil Society Organizations, CSOs in the Mediterranean region on implementing the pillars and approaches of GAP III through the EU's renewed partnership with the Southern Neighborhood - A new agenda for the Mediterranean, which includes policy dialogue and programming.

Through participatory research, we aim to highlight challenges, opportunities, and concrete recommendations from CSOs involved in policy dialogue or programming based in the Mediterranean region while relating their work to the southern Mediterranean region.

The third EU Gender Action Plan (GAP III) that covers 2021 to 2025 is now unlocking and guiding new funds for CSOs working on women's political empowerment and participation. In 2021, the EU introduced several new regional strategies that formally promised upgraded civil society and good governance support. These include the document providing for a "Renewed Partnership with the Southern Neighborhood: A New Agenda for the Mediterranean".

This online focus group is primarily for CSOs who benefited or benefit from EU funding programmes under the framework of policy dialogue and programming and the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP), and that focus on gender equality as a goal or principle for sustainable development. 

 

This participatory research is enabled by the Anna Lindh Foundation for EuroMed dialogue through the ALF Knowledge for Action, K4A.

The meeting will take place via the Zoom platform on the 11th of July, starting at 17.00 Central European Summer Time.

نحن نركز على دمج خطة العمل الأوروبية الثالثة للمساواة بين الاجناس  في جدول الأعمال الجديد لمنطقة البحر الأبيض المتوسط من النظرية إلى التطبيق.

من خلال البحث المكتبي والتشاركي ، يهدف "النهر بداخلك" ، وهو معهد بحثي في سلوفينيا ، بالتعاون مع النادي الثقافي علي بلهوان في تونس ، إلى دراسة التحديات العملية والفرص والتوصيات من منظور  المجتمع المدني ومنظمات المجتمع المدني في منطقة البحر الأبيض المتوسط بشأن تنفيذ ركائز ومناهج خطة عمل الاتحاد الأوروبي الثالثة للمساواة بين الاجناس من خلال شراكة الاتحاد الأوروبي المتجددة مع الجوار الجنوبي - أجندة جديدة للبحر الأبيض المتوسط ، والتي تشمل حوار السياسات والبرمجة.

تعمل خطة العمل الثالثة للاتحاد الأوروبي بشأن النوع الاجتماعي التي تغطي 2021 إلى 2025 الآن على فتح وتوجيه دعم جديد لمنظمات المجتمع المدني التي تعمل على التمكين السياسي للمرأة ومشاركتها.

 في عام 2021 ، قدم الاتحاد الأوروبي العديد من الاستراتيجيات الإقليمية الجديدة التي وعدت رسميًا بتحديث المجتمع المدني ودعم الحكم الرشيد. وتشمل هذه الوثيقة التي تنص على "شراكة متجددة مع الجوار الجنوبي: أجندة جديدة للبحر الأبيض المتوسط".

مجموعة التركيز عبر الإنترنت هذه مخصصة بشكل أساسي لمنظمات المجتمع المدني التي استفادت أو تستفيد من برامج تمويل الاتحاد الأوروبي في إطار حوار السياسات والبرمجة وسياسة الجوار الأوروبية ، والتي تركز على المساواة بين الاجناس كهدف أو مبدأ للتنمية المستدامة.

تم تمكين هذا البحث التشاركي من قبل مؤسسة آنا ليند للحوار الأورو-متوسطي من خلال برنامج المعرفة للعمل.

سيعقد الاجتماع عبر منصة Zoom في 11 يوليو ، بدءًا من الساعة 17.00 بتوقيت وسط أوروبا الصيفي.
