fice on e-mail kke...@scout.org .We look forward to meeting you there!Areas of WorkEducational MethodsSkills for Life Study SessionIn the last age section, an important part of the Scout programme revolves around the development of the necessary life skills to enable our young people to become autonomous, responsible, committed and supportive adults. Achieving the abilities for adaptable and positive behaviour, that enables them to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life, is integral to our aim.With this in mind, the European Region, with the help of our Italian friends, hosted a study session in the offices of AGESCI in Rome, during the first weekend in September. This brought together some dedicated volunteers from the Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal and Romania. They began the work of producing a 'kit' on life skills and youth entrepreneurship from a Scouting perspective.The topic of 'skills for life' is one that has already been thoroughly explored
and there are many definitions, all of them similar and all concentrating on skills in the following areas:·Knowledge and critical thinking skills (learning to know)·Practical skills (learning to do)·Personal skills (learning to be)·Social skills (learning to live together)The 'Skills for Life Kit', to be produced by the Region, will not be re-inventing any of these concepts, but instead will aim to help NSOs to identify and evaluate where and how their programme enables this development. Look out for this valuable new resource early in the New Year.
RoverNet.eu is constantly developing!The editorial team of the European Portal for Rovers – www.rovernet.eu – met on the last weekend of August, in Copenhagen. They evaluated the promotion done at RoverWay '09 and made an action plan for the coming year.

"European Youth, Global Youth" Joint SeminarFrom 22-29 August, 20 participants from Portugal, Spain, Hungary, Greece, Finland and France participated in the Seminar ‘European Youth, Global Youth’. The event was organised by the French Scout Federation, with the support of the Europe Region WAGGGS and the European Scout Region. It took place at the Scouts of the World Base ‘Nature and Environment’, on the outskirts of Marseille.The seminar was a true opportunity for the exchange of best practices and each participant presented a project – defined and managed within her/his association – related to the Millennium Development Goals. Participants had also the chance to discover a series of NGOs based in Marseille, that are working with global challenges at local level, and had a chance to receive relevant training in many of these areas.Finally, the seminar encouraged the definition of partnership projects, between Guide/Scout associations, on the basis of the Millennium Development Goals. Several in
itiatives have so far been developed in Marseille.To find out more about the Seminar (articles and documents in French) visit http://www.scoutisme-francais.fr/-Jeunesse-d-Europe-jeunesse-du- Relationships and Funding Youth Conference within the framework of the Swedish Presidency of the EU
>From 12-14 September, young people and Directors General responsible for youth affairs in EU, EFTA and candidate countries, and youth experts had a unique opportunity to meet and discuss the direction of the future EU cooperation in the youth field for the period 2010-2018. Topics discussed included how the EU should work to combat exclusion and youth unemployment, create educational opportunities and utilise young people's knowledge and experience.
Youth Ministers will adopt the decision on a future framework of cooperation in the youth field on 26-27 November 2009. The WOSM delegation at the conference was especially active in influencing the key messages in the areas of non-formal education, employment of young people and global issues.
EPSG Mission to European ParliamentThe European Policies Support Group (EPSG) organised a mission to the Constitutive Session of the newly elected European Parliament in Strasbourg to meet with the members of the European Parliament.Jaakko Weuro and Etienne Genet, from the EPSG of the Region, conducted the mission. It aimed at establishing contacts with the Members of the Parliament in order to explain the interests of Scouting in Europe and follow what is on the agenda of the Parliament.Contacts provided by several NSOs on MEPs that have background in Scouting were very useful. If your NSO knows of MEPs that could be interested in supporting Scouting in the Parliamentary work, please share their names with Alix Masson,ama...@scout.org , Director for External Relations and Funding at the Brussels Office.
European Year of VolunteeringLet’s SlogoAs announced and published here and on our website, Scouts were invited, along with other volunteers across Europe, to contribute to the preparation of the European Year of Volunteering in 2011 by creating the official logo and/or the slogan.A competition was organised and ended 18 September. During RoverWay ‘09, Rovers and Rangers had the possibility to put forward their ideas at a stand in the European Tent. More than 60 logos were proposed for the competition. Thanks to everyone!For more information, check www.scout.org/europe or www.eyv2011.eu
What do we want?During RoverWay ‘09, Rovers also had the opportunity to contribute to the European Year of Volunteering by discussing what activities they want to see happening, as well what kind of contributions they are ready to make.Participants were very active and creative. They made a number of suggestions, such as:·Identify celebrities to be ambassadors of volunteering and Scouting·Nominate prominent former or current Guides and Scouts who could be nominated to the European Commission as Ambassadors for the Year of Volunteering (they attend high-profile Commission events and promote the Year of Volunteering externally)·Use the Year of Volunteering to explain what Scouting is and reposition how we are perceivedWhat they would like to see by the end of 2011?·That volunteering is better recognised·A greater understanding of what Scouting is, overcoming preconceptions and stereotypesWOSM will take all those proposals, and many others, into account while defining the better ways to make 2011 a succe

10th edition of University on Youth and Development in MollinaFor the last decade, the CEULAJ (Euro-Latin-American Youth Centre) in Mollina, Spain has hosted, for one week in September, the Global Youth Work and crossroad for networking and cooperation between global actors. This year, from 13-20 September, more than 12 activities were running simultaneously, ranging from training courses to exchanges and high-level meetings of representatives of different regional platforms.It was a real global village, with youth representatives from all across the world, volunteering or working in wide range of organisations. WOSM is always one of most prominent organisations and was represented this year by many Scouts from all across the world that are contributing to global youth work development.This year the hottest issues were climate change, Millennium Development Goals, global responsibility, Euro-Latin America and Euro-Mediterranean cooperation, but the list of challenges for global youth work, including Scoutin
g, is even longer. http://universityonyouthandevelopment.org/
Youth Work in China: exchanging experiencesFrom 19-24 July 2009, a delegation from the European Youth Forum (Youth Forum Jeunesse) participated in a Symposium on Youth Work development in Beijing, China. The event was organised by the All China Youth Federation (ACYF), which comprises many youth organisations in China. Thirty participants, many of whom came from Europe, attended the symposium. It was a follow up to an earlier meeting – the first of its kind between European and Chinese youth – and had participants from countries as diverse as India, Zimbabwe, North Korea and Nepal.The Youth Forum Jeunesse (YJF) delegation was lead by the YFJ president Tine Radinja, who was joined by Mathias Faaborg from the European Policies Support group of WOSM – European Scout Region. Maintaining and strengthening relations with China at youth level is a strong avenue for a better understanding and collaboration at other levels. More specifically, the exchange of ideas and perspectives on volunteer youth work helps
support development of youth work both in Europe and China.Before the symposium ended, participants visited the local section of ACYF in the Shandong province and observed their programmes on entrepreneurship and employment generation. They also met with provincial leaders to learn about the programmes being done for young people and the progress that is happening in China’s other provinces. Scouting is not present in mainland China despite there being Scouts officially in Hong Kong, Macao and Thaiwan, but Communist Youth Pioneers exist and are interested in learning opportunities both at political and practical levels.
Strengthening Cooperation between Europe and AfricaIn Terrafal, Cape Verde, from 12-19 June, the 1st African University for Youth and Development took place. The 6th Africa-Europe training course was held as a part of the University and WOSM had a strong presence from both continents. This signified our mutual attention to the vast possibilities, as well as the global aspects, of our movement. A declaration demanding attention to the strengths of non-formal education (i.e. Scouting) and increasing focus on youth-led volunteer activities in development strategies was produced and presented to the Prime Minister of Cape Verde who personally attended the closing ceremony (pictured with Mathias Faaborg). He, Mr José Maria Neves, promised that the country would ratify the African Youth Charter, the 15th country to ratify the charter, which will thereby enter into force.This training course was organised by the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe in co-operation with the European Youth Forum and the Pan A
frican Youth Union. It is part of a broader series of activities aimed at enhancing Euro-African cooperation in the youth field as a follow-up to the first Africa Europe youth summit held in December 2007.Declarationhttp://www.youthforum.org/en/system/files/yfj_public/strategic_priorities/en/0625-09_Declaration_African_University_Youth_Development.pdf Development and SupportBetter Organisation 1Survival Strategies for the 21st CenturyWhy change?Many NSOs have structures and systems that have been in place for many years. Most of them were introduced when society was different, the NSO was different (sometimes bigger?) and the resources available to communicate with members were limited. Many existing structures are based on a hierarchical model with responsibilities duplicated at many levels.The expectations of our members have changed. In line with other members of the public, our members now expect many things – to be consulted and involved in decisions that affect them, to have access to information and
to have the organisation respond quickly to their needs and be efficient. For organisations to be effective they need to continue to change and their structures and processes need to support that.Our members are very passionate about Scouting and want to see Scouting succeed. They also want to be involved in that process. To channel that passion we need to continue to consult and inform them and then explain decisions taken in a clear way. The benefit is that, when it works well, this allows the organisation to make changes quicker, with less resistance and with the outcomes accepted easier.Finally, our NSOs are facing increasing competition for young people and adults’ time. There is an increasing range of opportunities for young people and the time of those adults that help us is increasingly limited. We need to show that our NSOs are ‘fit for purpose’ for 21st century society and that we focus our limited resources on delivering excellent Scouting for young people, not support outdated and inefficie
nt structures and systems.What do we need to do?One approach is to use the principles of the Learning Organisation (LO). This is a concept traditionally associated with businesses but it is very applicable to Scouting. The LO concept was developed to help organisations cope with the rapid increase in the pace of change – which is a challenge facing every NSO. Additionally, the LO approach is one that encourages all members to be involved and contribute to the organisation’s development. Involvement is an increasing expectation of our members at all levels and the LO approach will help us to meet that expectation.In summary, the LO approach encourages the contribution of all members and ensures the organisation continues to learn and develop from its experiences. There are many publications about the LO approach and there is no doubt that if it is implemented throughout a large organisation is can be very complex. However, the principles are not complex and fit exactly with a Scouting approach of consultin
g people, encouraging teamwork, involving people in decisions and empowering them to make and implement decisions wherever possible.What are the benefits of the Learning Organisation approach for Scouting?The approach fits exactly with the philosophy of ScoutingThe broad aim of Scouting is to develop young people to take a constructive place in society. It also aims to develop the adults who work with young people through training and development experiences. The LO approach encourages the development of people skills, working with others, expressing opinions and encourages all members to take responsibility within the organisation.We are a membership organisation – and this approach encourages the involvement of everyone in setting the direction and strategy of the organisationThere is an increasing expectation in our societies that people will have an opinion about matters that affect them. The old ‘top down’ approach of issuing commands from a central office, which should be followed without question
, is no longer relevant. There is an expectation from our membership (both adults and young people) that they will have the opportunity to contribute to setting the direction of the organisation and ownership of how it is implemented locally.We believe in the personal development of individuals – the LO approach supports thisBy giving our people access to information and involving them in discussions about the strategic direction of the NSO we are supporting their personal development.This approach encourages decision-making at the most local level possibleOverall strategies for our organisations are very important, but they must be able to be implemented in a way that takes into account local conditions. The LO approach encourages local empowerment and decision making within a broad strategic framework, which is more likely to succeed as members have had an active role in contributing to and deciding the overall strategy.Helps young people to develop the skills to contribute to their wider communityEncoura
ging young people to be involved in shaping and directing their NSO is excellent practise for taking a role in their society.Encourages continuous evaluation and ensures the learning is taken into accountOne of the key aspects of the LO approach is to rigorously review the outcomes of actions and take into account the lessons learnt for future actions. This ensures we learn from our mistakes but, equally importantly, it makes sure we take our good practice into the future with us, something that is too often forgotten in the change process.Encourages creative solutions to organisational problemsBy firstly informing our members and then involving them in setting the direction and management of the organisation, we will be able to draw on wide range of experience and expertise – and often our members are far more creative than our Committees.How can we apply this to Scouting?There are six key organisational behaviours that we wish to encourage in Scouting that will improve our organisations – all inspired b
y the Learning Organisation approach:·Involving and consulting our membership at all levels whenever possibleoInclude young people in decision making as much as possibleoNew technology allows us to get the views of our members quickly and efficiently – so use it!oThere is an increasing expectation in European society that people will be consulted on decisions that effect them·Flatten organisational structuresoMove away from our traditional hierarchical approachoReduce the layers of the organisation so members feel closer to where decisions are made·Sharing information and storing it in an accessible way – so that everyone can see the whole picture and therefore be able to contribute to discussionsoSharing good practice – such as programme ideas for LeadersoSharing the reasons for decisionsoSharing the background information used to make decisionsoMaking the information available in an accessible way – e.g. on line·Encourage learning and personal developmentoThis is what we should be doing in Scout
ing anyway!oMaking sure that Leaders, as well as young people, are continuously developedoMaking sure that Scouting’s managers (Commissioners) are trained and developedoMaking sure that decision makers are trained and continuously developedoMaking sure our Leaders, whether local or national, are trained for the role and encouraged and supported to continually develop·Regular external stimulus to the organisation's thinking and developmentoUsing research that impacts on ScoutingoHaving regular speakers and new ideas from outside ScoutingoMaintaining links with other organisations and learning from them·Having a holistic approach to strategyoUse research that gathers the views of membersoUse research that gives you an accurate picture of what is going on in your NSOoUse research from outside ScoutingoEnsuring the organisation has an overall strategic plan with a clear overall vision and development planIn the next Euro.Scout.Info we will give you some practical examples of organisational developments in Sco

Tailored Support offered in LithuaniaLithuanian Scouting held its regular annual Leaders gathering from 21-23 August in Dubaklonis. It was an opportunity to complete an important step in the renewal of their training system and agree on the framework for the new system.Development of the new training system in Lithuanian Scouting continues as planned. The training committee did a lot of preparatory and introduction tasks and offered a lot of issues for discussion. Leaders expressed their opinion and helped with the vision of the new system. The outcome of the work is the framework that sets the basic elements to be used in the design process and plan of action. Hopefully, the assembly of the association will adopt the new Training System in February 2010.Two representatives of the WOSM - European Region supported the work as part of a very successful tailored project.

Life of the Movement Successful national meetings for the Friends of Scouting in Europe Over the summer, three successful national FOSE meetings were organised. These were held on July 17th, at the Blå Sommer National Scout Jamboree/Camp in Denmark, on August 30th, at the campsite of the 2011 World Scout Jamboree in Sweden and on September 5th, at the annual Gilwell Reunion in the UK. On all occasions FOSE members met and were updated on the ongoing work for the European Scout Foundation and its F0SE programme.The final 2009 meeting will be in Riga at the end of September.The meetings are all aimed at communication and securing the growth of the FOSE - the most popular programme of the European Scout Foundation. All the meetings were organised by the National Super Friends, the people responsible for the development of the FOSE in their respective country.
Next step for the ‘Next Generation Chalet Project’ at KISCSince the beginning of September, the Pinkies have been moving all the offices, furniture and decoration out of the Ground Floor of the Old Chalet. They were also stripping out walls, floors and ceilings, as they were preparing the most ambitious renovation plan of the Chalet since the Centre was founded in 1923.The aim is to transform the Ground Floor of the Old Chalet into a more functional area, with special consideration for the front and back offices, as a part of the ‘Next Generation Chalet Project’.They want to create a more efficient and welcoming Reception area and front desk, which will combine the facilities provided by both the Reception and Programme Office. This will provide a single contact for our guests, making it easier for them to communicate with the Staff and organise their trip. A back office, linked to Reception, will provide them with all the necessary administrative support.The Chalet Shop will also increase in size, i
n accordance with the growing numbers of guests.This is one of the final phases of the ‘Next Generation Chalet Project’, which started with the renovation of the bedrooms and bathrooms in 2005. This phase is well underway, with the aim to be finished before the start of the Winter season.
Season changeover at KISCAt the end of every season, the Staff Team at Kandersteg International Scout Centre take the opportunity to spend a full day together and celebrate the last 3 months of work, activities, fun and friendship.As a long and successful Summer season came to an end, it was time for the Summer Staff to celebrate and say their farewells at the beginning of September. The entire Staff Team had a beautiful day at the Top of Europe – the Jungfraujoch. It was a perfect day with sunshine, photos, ice cream and, of course, a beautiful view!After the day had ended, it was soon time for the 32 Short Term Staff (STS) to depart in many directions and for the 12 new Autumn STS to arrive and start their training.This season 28 Pinkies, including 12 Short Term Staff from Sweden, Denmark, Singapore, Germany, Mexico, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Uganda, Spain and Iceland will form the Staff Team at KISC.
