Tarefas: "Description of the project:
Youth Olympic Games 2010, the culture and education department offers a wide range of learning possibilities. From 13 to 22 January, 2012 Innsbruck will host the first ever Winter Youth Olympic Games 2012. Besides the normal sport programme we decided to offer a truly innovative concept including EVS volunteers. We want to integrate sports and culture experience. This will give the athletes from over 70 nations aged between 14 and 18, the European Volunteers and the local youth the unique opportunity to experience an unforgettable sports and culture festival. The intercultural exchange and the unique mix of sports and culture will inspire youth across Europe and the world and foster their personal development as well as capture their enthusiasm for the Olympic Values. The multi-faceted Culture and Education Programme gives the volunteers, athletes, local youth and local community many opportunities for intercultural exchange. Here are some of the proposed activities where the EVS volunteers will have the chance to work on the preparation, execution and evaluation. They will bring in their interests, knowledge and enthusiasm in this different activities:
1. The Youth Media Lab
With the Youth Media Lab an emphasis on new media will be incorporated in the Culture & Education Programme. The volunteers who decide to participate in these activities will be accompanied by the professionals of the media College in Innsbruck. They will learn about new media, but also about making films, digital photography or television and radio programme. In the preparation stage volunteers will get a detailed introduction to the equipment and techniques needed to work in the media lab. Then they will share their new knowledge with the local youth, visiting the Olympic Games. We will give the volunteers and youth the possibility to express their ideas and convey to the world the story of their experience at the 1st Winter Youth Olympic Games.
The four production environments will include:
Film & Video Studio – development of Culture and Education Programme - related films and videos
Television & Radio Studio – interview and self presentation trainings
Digital Photography Studio – all aspects of field and studio shoots
Web Lab – creation of a web sports/culture media phenomenon
2. The Youth World Mile
The World Mile will showcase the unique and diverse cultures of the expected in the Youth Olympic Games participating countries across the 10 days of the YOG, and breathe life into the arts and culture experience in the Congress Innsbruck. (Congress is the central place where most of the activities and workshops will take place). Intercultural booths hosted by local youngsters and volunteers who are similar in age to the athletes will provide a platform not only for the young participants, but also for the other target groups, like local community and international guests to share their understanding and interpretation of their countries in various areas, e.g. history, geography, culture, music, food, etc. In addition to this, at the World Mile visitors will have the opportunity to learn more about global issues through a series of interactive displays, set up by various internationals organizations such as WADA, UNAIDS, UNICEF, UNEP, UNESCO, IFRC and IOA. These interactive display booths will feature walk-in activities to engage the participants and visitors in thinking about various important issues that impact the world.
3. The Youth Sustainability Project
Placing a distinct emphasis on the importance of environmentalism and sustainable development, the Youth Sustainability Project will serve to reinforce the “Learning to know & Learning to do” component of the Culture and Education Programme. The following initiatives will be incorporated:
- The Green Olympic Village – poster campaign on saving energy and responsible waste management in the Youth Olympic Village. Volunteers will be trained to support the participating youngsters in different environmental issues, like garbage separation, energy saving, etc.
- Mountain awareness – getting to know risks while practicing sport in the alpine terrain. Volunteers will participate in preparatory workshops to give this knowledge and awareness of different risks occurring, while
practicing sports in the mountain areas. The volunteers will have the possibility to get in direct contact to the athletes.
4. The Youth Arts Project
Through this project we intend to explore another aspect of the sports and Olympics in general. With its own studio in the Congress Innsbruck, the Youth Arts Project will explore the youth-cultural uses of art, the rich variety of youth media that art employs, and its unique capacity to communicate deeply held values. An essential feature of the Youth Arts Project will be creative exploration of interplay between individual art and collective art, and ways in which – much like athletes and teams they serve and support each other. The following programmes will be part of the Arts Project:
- Dance – various dance styles, e.g. the official YOG dance and the traditional Tyrolean dance “Schuhplattln”
- Music – Drumming and DJing workshops
- Visual Arts – Action painting, digital graffiti, spraying & sculpturing
EVS volunteers will take part and accompany young visitors and participants in the workshops. They will be a very valuable intercultural support, but also experts in the project.
5. The Youth Competence Project
In this project we will cooperate directly with the representatives of the International Olympic Committee, sport and cultural leaders, Olympic champions and experts. We plan series of presentations, discussions and workshops – which will broach the issue of some specific topics related to young people doing sports, but also young people in general. We will have interactive cooking courses with the focus on intercultural aspects and healthy food. Another workshop is attended to the cross-cultural stereotypes and prejudices. In all these workshops EVS volunteers will have the possibility to adopt all their intercultural competences, but also methodical competences they will gain in the preparations for this project.
6. The Youth Festival 2012
Different sport, culture and education activities will allow the young locals, athletes and international guests to learn, contribute, interact and celebrate the Youth Olympic Games 2012 in a fun and collaborative manner. The following projects will be incorporated:
- Mountain Snow & Fun – Team buildings and fun activities in the alpine environment
- Sport Initiations – Introduction of different sports e.g. sport climbing or icestock
- Dialogue in the dark – an exhibition to discover the unseen
All these activities will be outdoors in the snowboard arena in Innsbruck. EVS volunteers will have the chance to prepare this activities accompany the participants and take an important part in the project management. They will implement their own ideas to these activities.
Every single project above is designed that the EVS volunteers can work in the preparation stage, where they can communicate their own ideas and implement these. They will have partially supportive activities, but also activities where they will lead a workshop or a smaller project. For every activity EVS volunteers will be trained before the activity and they will have a permanent professional support of the people who will have the responsibility for the projects. Volunteers will be a part of the teams, and will take part in all discussions and team processes as full-fledged team members.
There won´t be typical activities for the volunteers, because we have a lot of possible projects, so they will decide according to their personal preferences in which project they will participate. However, in every area the volunteers will be invited to take part in the preparatory courses, where they will be learned in different issues like media equipment, communication, project management, time management, activities set-up. These new competences they will combine with their own to create very individual activities."
