The European Intercultural Club (CLUBE)

Presentation

The European Intercultural Club (CLUBE) is a non-profit organisation set up in 1998 which works in the areas of youth, education and training. The Club organises activities which have “sense”, in other words activities which respect and promote those values and principles we consider to be “pillars” such as democracy, human rights, solidarity, equality, interculturality, respect and the valuing of difference.

Broadly, our objective is to develop the personal, professional, civic and inter-personal competencies of our members, associates and people in general. More specifically, our objective is to promote participation, capacity building and social inclusion of children, young people and adults in vulnerable situations. We do this through an assessment of their potential, using this potential as an agent for community and societal change, and its reinforcement through the development of essential competencies necessary for self actualisation, active citizenship and social cohesion.

In this context, we organise – an/or participate in partnership with other organisations – training programmes both nationally (short and mid-lenth) and at Euopean level, on facilitation, socio-educational youth work, education and social intervention, intercultural dialogue, social inclusion, participation, amongst other themes, as well as seminars, exchanges, educational cafés, workshops, intervention projects.

In Lisbon in 2014, in partnership with a French town hall, we organised the first bi-national holiday camp for adolescents living in France and Portugal. In 2015 we organised or co-organised several bi-national holiday stays, youth exchanges and professional exchanges.

We have an extensive network of partners, the majority NGOs, charities and schools but also foundations, municipalities and companies. At a European level, we have partners in several countries (France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Poland, Belgium, Sweden, amongst others).

We have also widened our network in the Maghreb (Tunisia and Algeria).

In the area of European mobility, we are an intermediary host organisation which, over the past year alone has hosted more than 200 young people and adults through the former Leonardo Da Vinci programme (now integrated into the Erasmus+ programme). We ensure their educational, linguistic and cultural preparation, placing them in Portuguese organisations related to their area of training, ensuring they are supported and mentored during their placement as well as evaluating their experiences of mobility.
We have an on-line radio which we use and promote as an educational and teaching tool in developing a range of competencies, especially linguistic and intercultural ones. You can listen to it here:

https://clubeinterculturaleuropeu.wordpress.com/category/a-radio-do-clube/

Since November 2014 we have been the management organisation of the Sementes a Crescer – E5G project (part of the Escolhas programme), which steps in to help socio-economically vulnerable children and young people. This project is based in Olaias, a neighbourhood in Beato, and for the past 12 years it has responded to the needs of the local population through the use of a community space, and to professional who offer varied and tailored support in the search for social, educational, economic, professional or training solutions.

The aim of the Sementes a Crescer – E5G project is the social inclusion of its target audience (children and young people from 6 to 24 years old) through activities which stimulate the development and retention of personal, social and educational skills, with the aim of combating instances of school dropout, absenteeism, educational failure, risky behaviour and juvenile delinquency.

The project also aims to encourage the psycho-social and emotional development of participants through education and training activities as well as play, sport, culture and civic-based activities and related to health, collective action, empowerment and social enterprise.

Inclusion through sport is an area which we are just beginning to get involved in through the promotion of French kick-boxing to different audiences.

Theatre for the oppressed and creative writing workshops are tools we regularly use and which contribute to personal transformation as well as social transformation.

In Lisbon we are on the Municipal Council for Interculturality and Citizenship and the Municipal Council for Youth.

Internationally, we are members of FICEMEA (International Federation of Ceméa), ALDA (European Association for Local Democracy) and the euro-meditterranean network MER (Mobility, Exchange, Reciprocity).

the Algerian Association for Children and Volunteer Foster Families (AAEFAB)

Presentation

Supporting the integration of vulnerable children into society.

Preventing infanticide and abandonment and providing assistance to vulnerable mothers.

Since 1987, this association has accommodated children deprived of their families in nurseries. It is unique thanks to its innovative approach to teaching: the Loczy method. The innovative aspect lies in the importance of the verbalisation, unstructured play and respect for independent activity. The association’s work has always been characterised by a positive approach in connection with the intellectual, research, art and literary communities.

From the beginning, the association has sought to offer continuity for parents during the transition of their children from nursery school. This year, the association is seeking to strengthen support for “Kafil” (adoptive) families by developing a listening unit based on requests from parents in relation to specific topics: legal, ethical, psychological, etc.

Thanks to its work in nursery schools, the association has developed specific expertise. It is seeking to share this expertise by creating a certified training programme for child-care assistants.

In 2014, lobbying initiatives will be strengthened to improve conditions under the Kafala law. This legal act provides for children that are no longer under the guardianship of the State but their adoptive parents. The Kafala law permits fostering but not adopting, preventing children from having the right to inherit. For the past ten years, the association has campaigned for “Kafil” children to be registered in the family book provided for in the Kafala Decision.

The association continues to push for changes to be made to the adoption law in Algeria and for the rights of single mothers. When the association was founded in 1987, this was a taboo subject within Algerian society. After many years of work, attitudes are changing and this subject has become less taboo but moreover remains an issue for women who still find themselves victims of social exclusion.

The ASJDN aims to

  • develop environmental education programme for young people
  • promote the emergence of eco-citizenship within the framework of sustainable development
  • to design and implement environmental protection projects

2014, through the strengthening of the ASDJN structures, the association grew to create a marine centre, an ecology-centre and green clubs.

The ecological education centre situated in the commune of Hydra (Algiers) aims to

  • create a meeting place for young people aimed at promoting environmental issues
  • facilitate activity-based sessions
  • educate young people as regards eco-citizenship so that they can themselves become vectors for environmental prevention messages among their peers.

This summer will see the launch of an ecological and scientific camp with a peer-based eco-citizenship educational dimension. Young people are educated so that they can become vectors of environmental prevention messages. This project is financed by the State and through partnerships with private and public enterprise.

“Eco clubs” in youth centres will be set up across all of Algeria’s wilayeas (prefectures). This project should bridge existing education gaps, raise awareness about protecting the environment and reduce damage to ecosystems. The eco-club institution aims to raise awareness among young people in topics such as respect for nature, public health and the fight against pollution.
