6th Annual International Leadership Training Programme: A Global Intergenerational Forum

August 6-14, 2010
University of Connecticut
Storrs, CT 06269
USA

The International Leadership Training Programme, organized as a forum, is premised on a three-fold understanding of the vital role leaders play in society. The first is that every new generation of human rights leaders builds on the work of those who came before it. The second is that in today's increasingly interdependent global world, where actions or events in any part of the global system have impact on people in other regions of the world, there is a need to build a network of solidarity and to nurture a new cadre of human rights leaders who can educate others and provide enlightened leadership to meet the complex and multifaceted challenges of the new millennium. And the third is that young people are a force to be reckoned with and that the future belongs to them. In order, to ensure that they are effective leaders for a better future, today’s leaders have a duty to impart their knowledge to the younger generation of leaders and to alert it of the pitfalls of the past. This is because, although the circumstances under which the new generation of leaders operates/will operate are different, the issues that confront them are not fundamentally new to humanity and the types of strategies that would help them tackle the various issues need not be completely reinvented but innovatively adapted to new circumstances.

Participants at the forum will be individuals (ages 18-30) from all over the world who have been involved in some capacity in human rights work in their communities. Participants will receive training in areas such as grassroots organizing, building coalitions, effective communication, use of media for human rights education, and understanding of the processes and relevance of restorative justice. It is planned that discussions will be conducted under the rubric of four principal areas; namely poverty, education, health, conflict resolution and/or transformation. Specific areas of focus will include issues such as human trafficking, the plight of children, refugees and war, hunger, HIV/AIDS, religious intolerance, gender discrimination, racism and classism, peace education and environmental concerns.


Selected young people will engage through dialogue with experienced and older human rights practitioners to gain management skills and techniques and a greater understanding of human rights issues on a global level. A principal objective is to nurture individuals to be effective leaders in the field of human rights. Forum presenters/speakers/facilitators have been asked to serve in an ongoing capacity as mentors to the young participants upon their return to their home communities and countries.

All forum participants will be provided with resource materials (i.e. website/listserv information), certificate of participation, lodging, meals and ground transportation. As post-conference follow-up, the UNESCO Chair will also establish a website and group e-mail distribution list (listserv) to allow for the support and continuation of the work started at the forum. The website and listserv will also enable participants to remain in contact with their mentors and with one other.

Fluency in English is required. forum will be held in English only. In order to be considered for admission to the International Leadership Programme, please submit the following:

1. A completed and signed application form
2. Letter of intent (please attach as word, pdf, or text document)

Please pass this on to any young people (18-25 years old) you know who want to bring
about positive change in their communities, are committed to working with
others, and want to learn from other young people around the world. We also
encourage more than one applicant from each organisation or community group.


OIY is an Oxfam International initiative, managed by Oxfam Australia since
2000. OIYP strengthens young people’s ability to effect change in
their community, and provides a base from which they can influence broader
changes through engagement in a global network of over 1100 OIYP Action
Partners.



Through a 3 year Program, OIYP will provide opportunities and support for 300 new
Action Partners so they may demonstrate leadership and expand the influence of
youth for positive changes locally, nationally and globally.

To launch the 2010/2013 OIYP Program, Oxfam will host an 8 day Kaleidoscope event in November 2010 in New Delhi, India.At this event, Action Partners are given the opportunity to connect
with people across regions and cultures that are facing similar challenges in
their own communities. This allows for the chance for a cultural
exchange, as well as the exchange of skills and knowledge building and planning
on how young people can contribute to changes in their own lives as well as the
lives of others in their communities. The following two years includes a
variety of online and offline learning and development opportunities including
face to face workshops, cultural immersion programs, e-workshops, online
discussions and networking opportunities.



Applications are currently open and we would
love to make sure as many young New Zealanders as possible are given the
opportunity to join the OIYP network.
