German-Russian Summer School on Climate Change
From 7th-30th August SCI Germany will be organising a German-Russian summer school on the subject of climate change. Topics to be discussed include, among others:
- what are the causes and affects of climate change?
- what can I, as an individual, or my organisation, do, in order to prevent climate change?
- how can I, or my organisation, influence political decision-makers in this field?
The first week of the school will be devoted to an inter-active series of workshops, keynote lectures and project visits, in order to exchange ideas & experiences among participants. Afterwards the group will be divided in order to support the work of different grassroot ecological projects in different parts of Germany.
The youth exchange is being run with financial support from the German-Russian Youth Foundation in Hamburg.
Although Moldova is steadily, yet too slowly, advancing in strengthening the awareness of such social problems as human rights infringements, xenophobia, racism, and gender stratification, very little focus has been on promoting religious lenience. Therefore, Association of International Volunteering in Moldova (AVI-MD) invites you to a one day seminar dedicated to promoting religious tolerance.
Basic Info
Since it is hard to tolerate what is unknown, the structure of the seminar will be composed of five academic-like lectures and one hour of yoga, whose purpose is to help you create an open-mindedness and understanding to the religious diversity of our world.

The Raduga Centre is a unique day care centre for children and young adults living with disabilities of the 1st group (disabilities as autism, cerebral palsy, mental disabilities and other, which are ranked in Ukraine as disabilities of 1st group, the most difficult). The Center has been created as a result of a group of activists and committed parents who fought for it in order to give their children the chance of getting not only physically care but also to develop themselves mentally and do some meaningful activities . The Raduga Center is unique because in contrast to other state care centres, which only allow disabled people to live the life of ‘vegetables’, the Raduga Center gives its people the chance to develop their personality and skills.
