EricFrankIllustration

Mr. Eric Frank, a very good friend of the WOSM’s European Scout Region, has recently established The Eric Frank Trust. The Trust aims at helping “to advance education, including education in leadership skills, and to advance young people in life with a view to helping them become more responsible citizens” and invites National Scout Organisations to submit project proposals. Successful applications will in general be awarded up to GBP 30 000.

The attached WOSM Circular 18/2011 contains background information (in English and in French) about Eric Frank and lists detailed criteria for funding applications. Additional information is also available on the Trust’s own website.

32 countries hosting awareness raising seminars on non-discrimination and equality targeted at civil society organisations

The project “Awareness rising in the areas of non-discrimination and equality targeted at civil society organizations” aims to design specific training material and activities for NGOs in order to help strengthen their capacity to deal with non – discrimination and equality.

The main purpose of the project is to improve the impact and effectiveness of civil society organizations regarding to the implementation of equality and non-discrimination legislation and policy through their programmes and activities.

This project could therefore support your national organisation/association to design, renew, and strengthen the programme or strategy to be more open. In the Regional Scout Plan, NSOs and NSAs in Europe expressed their interest to work more with the Region on Embracing Change.
