Mova Nanova - Stockholm

At the end of September 2015 with the help of the EVS volunteer Iryna Azaranka the official Belarusian community in Sweden 'Sveriges Belarusier' have started the language circle Mova Nanova in Stockholm. The methodology was developed in Belarus at the beginning of 2014 and became popular inside the country and among the Belarusian communities abroad.

Föreningen Framtidståget kindly helped the organizers with the comfortable and well-equipped space for the circle. The lessons are build in an interactive and non-formal education form, free for everybody, suitable for the Belarusians and all other nations. A person can join at any moment and attend the circle with any frequency. The lessons are hold by Iryna Azaranka herself, together with another Belarusian here - a university student Lesia Rudnik. The circle is officially registered at Studieförbundet Vuxenskolan.

The lessons take place each Wednesday, starting from 18:30! All the needed information can be found on the FaceBook page https://www.facebook.com/movananovasthlm/

Asia-Europe Forum on Education

It was a great pleasure for me to represent Föreningen Framtidståget at the III Asia-Europe Forum on Education in Bucharest, Romania 7th – 11th October 2015. The forum was organized to mark the 70th Anniversary of the establishment of UNESCO (AEFE) by the European Federation of UNESCO clubs, Centers and Associations (EFUCA) with the support of Romanian National Commission for UNESCO.

AEFE 2015 was themed The Sustainable Development in Education with the following subtopics:
- Future education and the Alliance of Civilizations
- Education post 2015 and 2030 agenda
- From theory to practice, the partnership between school and business in professional, vocational/dual education
- University education-tying technology and innovation on the labor market

The participants were leaders of UNESCO clubs and Associations of over 30 countries and also the representatives from international and Romanian organizations. During the forum the participants had a platform to speak about challenges of education, which they are facing in their countries. Also, they were talking about the education as a way to promote tolerance, human rights, fight against terrorism and etc. The forum brought together persons who are active in the field of education. It was a great possibility to see how Europe and Asia work productively together. The themes of the forum were about formal and non-formal education, which were so interesting for me,

as a student and as a youth worker. I got lots of inspiration from this forum, which I will use in my future projects. 

After the forum activities, we had possibilities to visit some interesting places in Bucharest: a village called “Pietroasele” which is known for its vineyards and the “Berca Mud Volcanoes” (it is a small volcano-shaped structure typically a few meters high caused by the eruption of mud and natural gases). During these days we had a pleasure to see old Bucharest which was really so attractive. The area has retained many old and historical buildings that make it a cultural highlight. On the last evening we were in the “Central University Library Carl I” where we attended an amazing concert of “Royal Camerata”.

I would like to express my special thanks to Madam Daniela Popescu for the invitation and to the organizers’ group for such a great event.

We hope to continue our active cooperation in the future.
