Pimedas lähevad Euroopa töövarjud pikemaks

Itaalias toimunud töövarjuprojekti mõjul jäin mõtlema töövarjuprojektide erinevate vormide üle ja leidsin, et neid võib olla kolm:

• Ise olen mõelnud, et kui Eestisse sellise sooviga inimesed tulevad, siis ma pigem pakuks tükikest siit ja tükikest sealt (et kuidas üldiselt Eesti ühendustel läheb).
• Aga see on ka jube huvitav jälgida tööd lihtsalt terve päeva, et kuidas see igapäevane elurütm toimib. Nagu mul Roomas oli. No natuke aitab, et ma oskan veidi itaalia keelt. Ja et mulle meeldib niimoodi jälgida. Samuti võttis iga päev üks ASVI töötaja aja, et oma tööd tutvustada, näidata oma kaustu, kirjavahetust jmt.
• Ja kolmas võimalus on see, et võib teha ise tööd, olla natuke osaline kogu igapäevaelust.

Ja ega see võimalus Eestis välismaiseid MTÜ juhte võõrustada ei ole enam kaugel. Euroopa mittetulundusühingute juhtide Euclid-võrgustiku projekti kaudu külastab Eestit 15.-19.märtsil neli mtü liidrit. Siin annan nende profiilist väikse ülevaate ja palun, et te mulle teada annaksite, kui te sooviksite kedagi neist päevaks või mõneks tunniks võõrustada.

Ja andestust, et nende ootused tulevad inglise keeles – olen seda teinud teadlikult, et tekiks ehk ehedam aimdus, mis tüübiga tegemist.

• Machac Michal Slovakkiast, organisatsioon DAFNE

Ootused: During the week spent in Estonia I would like to see as much as possible, so don´t worry to prepare the programe as tight as possible. From my point of view It would be interesting to see for example: using of funds for education activities, organization of training activities, networking, exchange of good practice, cooperation with foreign partners within transnational projects, meeting with important leaders of training organizations/ NGOs, participation on some educational workshop/training, time management, leadership in practice, All your proposals are welcame.

• Gian Paolo Montini, Itaalia organisatsioon: Associazione Peter Pan onlus

Ootused:

Kohtusin temaga Roomas olles; väga sümpaatne ja sõbralik härrasmees; tema kohta räägiti, et ta on Roomas teinud imelist tööd, korraldanud annetuste kogumist; kui ka mujal Itaalias tema organisatsiooni tegevust ei teata, siis Roomas on ta üldtuntud. Palju vabatahtlikke töötab koos vähihaigete laste peredega, mõned töötajad, tohutult toetajaid.

• Monika Pisankaneva, Bulgaria, Community Foundations Program Manager of WCIF

Ootused:

1. The overall situation of Estonian civil society, diversity of non-profit organizations, collaboration with the state, legal context (types of non-profits according to the law; taxation of non-profits; any special laws that stimulate private donations to non-profits).

2. National grantmakers in the non-profit sector: sources of income, areas of interest, collaboration with the state.

3. Local grantmakers in the non-profit sector: are there community foundations in Estonia, their situation, their sources of funding?

4. Philanthropy and CSR: overview of giving patterns; are there non-profits which support individual and corporate giving; are there corporate foundations; are there CSR programs at companies which are implemented in partnership with non-profits?

5. Local philanthropy: what kinds of local philanthropic organizations, which channel the individual giving, are there?

6. Community development: what community development programs are currently active, what are the hot topics for them?

• Marta Meloni (Italy) the reference person for the research, development and projects sector of Lai-momo society.

Ootused:

My main duties here concern the research and mapping of opportunities, such as grants/tenders, releted to culture, education and training, and communication, mainly the social communication; the designing of projects and coordination of partners and consortia related to the same topics as above. My duties are also related to the international promotion and development of comics of african cartoonists as a tool of cultural development and intercultural dialogue. Thanks to this innovative tool, we create an international virtual exchange platform for african and international authors, cultural institutions and association.

As you advice, I think it is better to summarise briefly what our hot topics/main questions/general ideas related to the trip are:

-the east of Europe is becoming more and more active at an international level: it would be interesting to share ideas and prospectives with estonian NGOs in order to create a more visible and active network at an european level;

-with the aim of a networking european culture, it would be interesting to share expriences and willingness about new projects and grant opportunities;

-as for a development in the field of communication, we would like to share ideas on opportunities and concrete experiences in the field related to social communication and communication aimed at spreading and promoting the main activities of estonian NGOs.
