The European Solidarity Centre and New Eastern Europe are pleased to invite you to the tenth edition of the Solidarity Academy which
will be held in Gdańsk from 16th to 22nd November 2014. The Solidarity
Academy is an international educational project aimed at maintaining and
developing the tradition of the Solidarity Movement. Looking back at
the social movement of Solidarity and the peaceful socio-political
changes which took place both in Poland and throughout Eastern Europe,
we can find an inspiration for solving problems in today’s world.
During the project, 15 young journalists
will have an opportunity to expand their knowledge and learn skills
necessary for the work of any young and ambitious journalist or a
commentator/columnist who is not indifferent to issues such as
geopolitics or liberation movements on both the global and the European
scale. The aim of this year's Solidarity Academy is to raise awareness
among young journalists about aspects of multiculturalism and solidarity
with nations fighting for freedom as well as integrating young
contributors to New Eastern Europe. The Solidarity Academy will help to
create a space for journalists from different backgrounds to meet,
share and exchange experiences and initiatives.
Workshops will be both theoretical and practical. Participants will have an opportunity to take part in shared activities but they will also be divided into smaller groups during the journalistic workshops and comfy groups. The result of the journalistic workshops will be the final publication and the debate/panel discussion - fully prepared by the participants with the support of experts. The working language of the Solidarity Academy is English.
One of the main goals of the project is
to create a programme of Solidarity Academy Graduates which will allow
the participants to maintain contact and engage together in
other projects. That is why, this year, the former participants of
previous editions of Solidarity Academy will participate in the
workshops as facilitators and assistants.
Organizers cover the costs of travel (up to 800 zł/200 €) and the participants’ stay in Gdańsk.
Please note that all applications must be received by 12th October 2014.
