Webinar II on Management for Youth Communities Webinar
Objective of the webinar: To improve knowledge about management for youth communities among youth worker in order to empower and support youth community organising.
For Whom?: For youth workers who attended the international training course, youth workers who engage in local actions and campaigns, are part, or run, networks of organisations and also for everyone who is interested in the topic of community organising for social sustainability and management for youth communities. The webinar is fully funded by European Commission and open to everyone willing to join.
We had professional speakers from our partner associations from Bulgaria, Turkey, Spain and Romania.
We discussed the following topics:
Introduction to Holacracy and Introduction to Sociocracy
Roles, Tasks and Functions vs People and Individualised approach to management
Understanding the concept of circles of competence VS hierarchical structure
Decision-making / problem-solving mechanisms, internal and external facilitators
Coaching organisational management in horizontal leadership structures
Community Organising means tacking communities which are subject to injustice and organise them to identify among themselves the resources to accomplish justice and fairness, in other words Community here is a synonym to solidarity.
Build on the competences of youth workers to act as community leaders, coaches, organisers, provide innovative leadership and organisational competences, and building literature and evidence around that in order to allow them to act locally as community organisers and in turn empower the target group, as a wheel in motion, the consortium professionals empower youth workers until they can independently support and organise youth communities, until the latter is enabled and empowered to autonomously carry out selfdirected community organising. Civic Engagement and Participation, many European institutions and public bodies are pointing fingers at the political disenfranchisement of youth, often because of the failure of political actors to address issues which are relevant and important to youth, being avoided or tokenized.
