The White Paper for International Voluntary Service (2011-2021) draws the strategic objectives for Cultural Heritage and Diversity with the vision to ‘Preserving, protecting, and promoting cultural heritage and diversity through International Voluntary Service activities in order to foster mutual understanding and respect within the global community’. With the Strategic objectives to create:A. A global community where mutual understanding and respect are brought by active citizens that preserve protect and promote cultural heritage and diversityB. Develop and expand cooperation between organisations, institutions and government bodies in the field of Cultural Heritage and DiversityC. Raise awareness about the impact of IVS in cultural heritage and diversity issuesHeritage has been an important element of local communities where IVS organisations have set up projects since 1920 (1st workcamp). Throughout the years organisations, mainly in Europe, have developed cooperation with various stakeholders, involving young and adult volunteers in the protection, preservation and valorisation of our tangible and intangible heritage. This topic has been taken until recent years in other regions of the world demonstrating the value of non-formal learning as the IVS educational approach to disseminate the values and expertise developed at the inter-governmental level to a large public and in particular to young people, based on a dynamic dialogue between the different stakeholders.The aim of this project is to work towards the strategic objectives of the White Paper and to promote the work of IVS organisations and NFL, whilst valorising local customs and the diversity of these.The world is under an increasing threat from globalisation and extremism; these two factors contribute to the breaking down of cultural norms, traditions and the destruction and loss of heritage sites. This project will celebrate both tangible and intangible heritage and to revel in the diversity of this heritage. The applicant organisations propose actions which focus on food, culture, language, cultural and natural sites indigenous traditions …. etc. The aim is to be as diverse as possible and to show the richness of this diversity and to include local people as educators, emphasizing the bottom up approach of IVS and the work in local communities and with young people with fewer opportunities.The partners are grassroots IVS organisations from Africa, Asia and Europe for a 24 month project The different actions include:• Research, analysis and preparation phase (September 2016)• Stakeholders Forum (October 2016)• Capacity building trainings on Volunteer and Heritage Management ( April/May 2017)• Local Awareness Raising Actions (June 2017 – December 2017) • Global Communication Campaign (January 2017 – March 2018) • Final evaluation and dissemination meeting (April 2018)• Finalisation of the Impact measurement results and publication (April-August 2018)

To strengthen the cooperation between organizations of Europe and South Asia, and their capacity to promote women empowerment through entrepreneurship.The project entailed a set of seven activities, both capacity building and mobility of youth workers as follows:1. Kick off meeting in India2. Research phases in all the partners countries to collect materials for a Manual on Entrepreneurial Education. 3. Seminar to a Manual for Educators in Entrepreneurial Education for marginalized young women, Nepal. 4. Finalising the Guide InterCollege Denmark and external experts. 5.

Time for Tea is an educational activity which uses tea to give young people a voice. It encourages global learning, creative thinking and social action. It is simple, fun and accessible to people of any age, background, ability or location.Recent events such as Greta Thunberg’s school strikes have shown how necessary it is to find new and smarter ways to allow young people to speak out and take action on issues that matter to them, and to create a dialogue between them and older generation decision makers. This is what Time for Tea does. Any teacher, youth worker or other motivated person can lead a Time for Tea project, with a group of any age, in or out of the classroom.We use the medium of tea because:- Tea brings people together. It is enjoyed in different cultures all round the world.- When busy people have a cup of tea, they stop and relax for a moment – the perfect time to listen and think.- The medium of tea allows young people to initiate dialogue with decision makers in a way that is engaging and non-confrontational.During the past 3 years with support from Erasmus+ (KA1 and KA2) Momentum World has developed this innovative non-formal learning and youth advocacy methodology in 20 European and neighbouring partner countries. The results and ongoing activities of the pilot projects can be seen on our website www.time4tea.info.Through this new capacity building project we will expand Time for Tea into 3 Asian countries (India, Philippines and Thailand) thereby introducing our partners to new non-formal education approaches, launching testing and implementing innovative youth work practices, and enhancing the socio-professional development of youth workers and trainers. The project embodies the four key principles of youth work: education, participation, empowerment and inclusion. Furthermore because Time for Tea local activities are often based in schools as well as youth groups, the project will promote the use and value of non-formal learning and enhance synergies and complementarities with the formal education system in each country. This has already had a significant impact in the European pilot projects.Although this is a capacity building project aimed at countries in Asia, we also envisage significant mutual benefit. We will learn from our Asian partners about youth work practice in different cultural contexts, adapt our methodology as appropriate, and so take a significant step towards our ambition of building a sustainable global programme.The European partners have all worked together on many previous projects including Time for Tea. The Asian partners have previously worked with Joint (Italy).The project will run for 2 years and include youth worker training, local projects, multiplier and dissemination events, and a final youth exchange empowering young people to present results to the wider world. We will also use our Virtual Teahouse to enable online exchanges and meetings, thus reducing carbon impact.
