WOSM Circular 22/2011 – Survey on the use of external funding by National Scout Associations in Europe
In the recent years the Region has been increasingly trying to promote the use of and the accessibility to external funding for Scouting in Europe. Several efforts have been done to inform NSOs/NSAs about European funding opportunities, such as the Youth in Action programme of the European Commission and the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe, and good results have been achieved in terms of support to regional and national events and projects.
In this frame we introduce to you a Survey on the use of external funding by NSAs that has been prepared by the European Regional Office in cooperation with a group of students for the Master in “European projects management” of the University of Cergy-Pontoise. As part of their curriculum, the students are asked to work on a practical assignment in collaboration with an external organisation and the European Regional Office was requested to identify a specific topic and support them in accomplishing their task. The survey you can find at the link indicated in the circular. It’s in fact the first result of this collaboration and it aims to collect data and analyse the access and use of external funding of NSAs.
WOSM Circular 21/2011 – Call for Partners to join funding project: Partnerships Event
Call for Partners to join funding project – The Partnerships Event (in the frame of the North South Network) will take place at UNESCO, Paris, France in March 2012. Following on from last year’s successful event in Rome, which was the first North-South meeting organised jointly by the Network and WOSM Europe, this event will look to extend the concept even further. The event is designed for associations that are both in and/or looking at entering into partnerships with other regions (Eurasia, Arab, Africa, Asia-Pacific and Interamerica).
WOSM Circular 20/2011 – Support for the Participation of Other Regions at Upcoming Events
Partnerships with Other Regions is a key priority of the European Regional Scout Plan 2010-2013, with a focus on the Africa, Arab and Eurasia Regions. Over the next year, there are key events that will be enriched by the presence of participants from other Regions and where we would like to ask for your help to ensure their participation.
These events include:
- The Europe-Eurasia Meeting (Prague, Czech Republic, November 25-27 2011)
- The Partnerships Event (North-South Network) (Paris, France, 15-18 March 2012)
- AGORA (Kandersteg, Switzerland, 18-23 April 2012)
- Roverway (Evo, Finland, 20-28 July 2012)
In line with the priority “Partnerships with Other Regions”, these events are open to Scouts from other Regions. The events can provide great opportunities for exchange with other Regions and can be used to further strengthen your partnerships by providing an ideal meeting space. They also provide the opportunity to explore new multilateral partnerships with the other associations present.

WOSM Circular 19/2011 – The 7th European Educational Methods Forum
Call for Partners to join funding project – The European Educational Methods Forum, which has been, for more than 10 years, the main meeting point for national commissioners for Youth Programme and Adult Resources/Training and members of their teams.
Hundreds of “satisfied customers” can testify that the Forum is an excellent opportunity for real networking among people sharing the same responsibility, a great training event and a laboratory for the future Regional programmes and projects. Countless partnerships have been forged during the Forums and many of the developments in the Region had their roots in discussions and sessions during this event.
Four years after the previous Forum (which took place in Obidos, Portugal, in 2008) the European Scout Region is proposing the
7th edition – scheduled to take place in the beautiful touristic resort of Predeal, in the heart of the Transylvanian Alps, in Romania, between 30 May and 3 June 2012.
Therefore, if you want to take part in the 7th European Educational Methods Forum and get following costs covered by grant:
- Participant travel costs: 70 % of travel costs from home to the venue of the project and return
- using the cheapest method and fares (Economy class plane ticket, 2nd class train ticket);
- Accommodation / food costs: EUR 51.00 x number of nights x number of official participants;
- Activity costs: EUR 1200.00 + EUR 50.00 x number of official participants;
- Exceptional costs: any costs directly related to young people with fewer opportunities / special
- needs or warranted by the special nature of the activities; visa costs;
For each NSO and NSA this means that if you are a partner:
- Only 30% of the travel costs to cover
- Lower or no participation fees
- If participants need a visa, the costs related to obtaining the visa are covered
The application should be submitted by ‘Cercetasii Românei’ (the National Scout Organisation of Romania), which will submit an application for a Youth in Action funding project at the national level.
So, if your NSO/NSA is interested in attending read carefuly attached circular and fill it in, sign and send the ‘Preliminary Partner Agreement Form’ (PPA, annex) by 26 October 2011.
