IFM-SEI Annual Report 2021 by IFM-SEI

ANNUAL REPORT 2021

Who we are The International Falcon Movement - Socialist Educational International is an international educational movement working to empower children and young people to take an active role in society and fight for their rights. We are an umbrella organisation for child and youth-led movements all over the world, delivering socialist education on the basis of our values of equality, democracy, solidarity, peace, cooperation and anti-capitalism.

Our Message By children and young people, for children and young people It is our firm belief that children’s voices are valuable in decision making processes both on issues directly affecting them and on global issues. IFM-SE non-formal education principles and methods aims to empower and equip children and youth to be active participants in civil society, and to have their voice heard, despite their background.

Despite the uncertainties of a global pandemic in 2020, we, like many others, entered 2021 with great hopes and expectations but discovered that we had to adjust these expectations and adapt our methods of delivery while providing our members with the support that they need to navigate the ‘new normal’ of working in a global pandemic. We could not have achieved all of these without you, our members, and our volunteers. We want to acknowledge and thank you for the commitment that you put into your organisations and into IFM-SEI despite the situations we are facing worldwide, locally, and individually. Even in the midst of these challenges restricting movements, affecting international children and youth work, exposing digital inequalities especially for children and young people, IFM-SEI has continued to make considerable progress through new exciting global projects with far reaching impact. In 2021, we kicked off

‘Kids Got Rights’ project, which aims to promote our values

and create opportunities for children and young people to learn about their rights and ensure their full implantation.

we strengthened our inclusion and diversity work

‘Dream Our G->Local Movement’. We have built communities of activists and developed with them an intersectional perspective educational and activists' materials on climate change in ‘Resist! The Global Climate Divide’ project. through

We have implemented a training for trainers, where we promoted IFM-SEI's non-formal education brand among young trainers using intersectional and international perspectives at

‘Socialist Education training for trainers’

project. Finally,

we have strengthened the cooperation with IUSY Feminist working group and IFM-SEI Feminist Network through the implementation of a common project

‘Unpacking power & Privilege’ running for four sessions focusing on power relations and reflections on privileges. Still within this year, we are immensely proud of the work we have done with our members implementing Education for Social Change, promoting socialist education and equipping children, youth, and youth workers with the tools to resolve global challenges using our aims and principles. We continued to support the work of the Centenary Task force established in 2020 which has continued to put together some exciting ideas and activities all aimed towards strengthening IFM-SEI as we celebrate our 100 years anniversary as an international movement of movements for children and young people.

For IFM-SEI to have been able to emerge stronger in the face of this pandemic is because of the team that worked tirelessly to make this possible. From our presidium to member organisations, to a global network of committed volunteers, we extend a huge thanks because without you all, none of this would have been possible. As we celebrate this exciting growth in our movement and take pride in the work that we have done in 2021, we should remember that it is only in unity and diversity that IFM-SEI has been able to move from strength to strength, maintaining its position as a leading movement of movements for children and young people. Let us continue to span the world with friendship, solidarity, and diversity. Here is to a better year ahead and an even more remarkable 2022! In Solidarity and friendship

Projects & Activities 2021 In 2021 we implemented several diverse projects from climate justice to children’s rights to intersectional activism. We have Kicked- off ‘Kids Got Rights’ project, a project that works directly with children, ‘Dream our G>local Movement’ focusing on diversity and inclusion and finalized ‘Resist! The Global Climate Divide’ project, a project that looks at Climate change from intersectional perspective.

Amplifying the Voices of Young people with Fewer Opportunities

*Overview: Amplify was a two-year project (2019-2020) that brought together young people from Europe and Canada to discover and support the fight against climate change, gender inequalities and violent extremism. In fourteen localities, activists hosted Local Labs (weekend workshops), conducted youth-led research and gathered for collective actions. The project was a partnership with Oxfam and is funded by EuropeAid/DEVCO, with members of Esplac, Rote Falken Kinderfreunde and Slovenian Falcons, plus young people from various organisations coming together in the Brussels local lab.

*Activities in 2021: Happy Youth Year Celebration The Amplify Youth Voices project launched

#HappyYouthYear, a week-long online

campaign on youth and activism. From January 11th to January 15th, 2021, a series of multimedia products was released as a three-part online action. This week of action marked the end of the Amplify project. During this week the Documentary “Louder! Amplifying Youth Voices in Activism” has been selected as part of the

London Lift-off film festival! IFM-SEI London, UK

Resist! The Global Climate Divide *Overview: The aim of Resist! is to mobilise a young generation of climate change activists to be ambassadors and multipliers for a systemic and intersectional approach to the global climate emergency. Spanning from January of 2020 to June of 2021, this project mobilized

young

people

ambassadors and multipliers for a systemic and intersectional approach to the global climate

emergency.

The

workplan

was

funded by the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe.

*Activities in 2021: The workplan was one of the first projects impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, we managed to implement several activities in its framework. We have implemented the first phase of the project in 2020 and in 2021 we continued the implementation in hybrid format.

Training for Climate Activists:

The second phase of the project had to be adapted due to the global pandemic and was therefore delivered in the form of four online courses from January to April 2021. It was implemented in the shape of online courses modules, those courses consisted of learning about climate change and an interesting issue which the participants then designed and ran their own sessions/ local project on in their local areas. They explored different methods of creative activism such as non-formal education, performance art and campaigning. The modules were designed by the team with non-formal methodologies and had the same internal structure:

Week 1 — Content: The facilitators planned and prepared sessions to explore the themes of that course, including online sessions, pre-recorded videos and pretasks/assignments.

Week 2-3 — The local projects: Week 2 and 3: Participants planned and implemented activities on these themes in their local communities with the support and feedback of their peers.

Week 4 — Feedback: Participants shared feedback to the group on their activities and gave evaluations with the support of facilitators.

During each module, participants were able to develop their own local projects to raise awareness on the fight for Climate Justice. In total, 26 local projects took place in different places in the world, including educational workshops, social media actions, webinars, etc. Check here for the map of Resist! Implemented actions:

The topics that was explored in this training modules were:

Climate Change and Anticapitalism

Climate Change and Racial Justice

Climate Change and Gender (In)equality

Climate Change and Children’s Rights.

We saw some fantastic projects come from this including the publication of a degrowth Zine in the UK, a Swap and Save on sustainable fashion in Sweden, a project on the recovery of public spaces in Chile, non-formal education sessions on climate conflict in pastoral and farming communities in Mali and many more. Please visit our website to see more of these projects.

Toolkit Development and Podcast Production As a result of the online

“Training for Climate Activists” the educational team

selected four activities developed by the participants and drafted a training session outline that could be easily adapted to different contexts. Each activity linked to the four topics of the previous training and their intersection to climate change: anticapitalism, racial justice, gender equality and children’s rights. With our member organisations, we organised a series of local actions to raise awareness and make World Environment Day more visible. People from all over the world implemented a series of workshops and the outcomes of these workshops were used to form the final toolkit of Resist! - from an intersectional and non-formal perspective. This toolkit was then edited, translated, and printed with the input of the focus groups and activists that took part in this project in three languages. In addition to the production of the toolkit, Resist also produced a number of podcast episodes in English and Spanish. You can find these interviews with young people and experts on our website.

Dream Our G>Local Movement *Overview: With the pandemic still raging on we started our

“Dream our G->Local Movement”

workplan for 2021 supported by the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe. “Dream” was the first workplan that had three international activities completely implemented online all in 2021. This was a project that aimed to support a young generation of youth workers to develop accessible and inclusive approaches to engage in youth work locally, nationally, and internationally. We used this project to reflect on our own practices regarding accessibility and inclusion and to find ways to improve our movement. It was also a project that provided a chance to build or own knowledge and learn from different minority youth organisations, not only involving our own member but also actively including young people from different socio-economic background, in this young refugees and asylum seekers, young Roma, young people with disabilities, young LGBTQIA+.

*Activities in 2021: Consultation with youth workers and young people

The first phase of the project was a two-part consultation process: one with youth workers (16-17 March) and one with youth (22-23 May). It brought together marginalized and underserved young people and organisations that work with these communities. They discussed volunteering and meaningful participation and critically analysed the situations and practices that can make these inaccessible to underserved communities. The main outcome of the consultations process was the development of the “Diversity and Inclusion Checklist”. The checklist is a simple self-assessment guide that leads the readers step by step through issues linked with diversity and inclusion in youth projects and local youth work. It serves as a reflection tool on how to create more equal opportunities for all young people to participate not only in the activities organised by child and youth organisations but also in access to leadership positions in the organization and possibilities to influence the decision-making processes. 14

Training for Mentors The second phase of the project focused on the relevance and impact of local activism on a global scale. The online training took place 23-25 September and gathered young people that wanted to explore different methods and actions to be taken in order to engage and reach out to diverse group of young people in local, national and international volunteering. It provided opportunity to build the capacities of youth leaders in planning and designing g->local campaigns to be implemented in their local communities and networks.

G-> Local Campaigns In the third phase of the project, the participants had to deliver their campaigns. Each activity highlighted the importance of diverse, accessible and inclusive opportunities on a local, national and international level. The participants, many who came from marginalised youth communities were able to reach and engage a diverse pool of participants and engage them in volunteering while working to strip away the potential barriers to participation. IFM-SEI

We prepared a summary of all the G->local campaigns implemented between September and November where you can explore all the topics that were developed and implemented by the participants of the project. We hope they will spark some new ideas and motivation to start discussing and educating on inclusion and diversity also in their organisations and communities.

Toolkit Development The final phase of “Dream” was a capacity building creative toolkit development workshop, led online by experts in non-formal education and inclusion. In the online activity taking place 25-27 November, participants created sessions aimed at creating accessible and inclusive g-local volunteering.

The core of the activity was developing an educational resource that can support the movement with concrete ideas, resources and methods for inclusive non-formal education. The activities presented in the Handbook are a good and inspirational start for anyone embarking on the adventure to make their organisation more inclusive and diverse Activities were designed in a way that they provide the reader with concrete tools on accessibility and inclusiveness of the methodology without sacrificing space for any adaptation to the needs of the target group. The Handbook is an interactive tool that will lead you through your first steps with social inclusion and provide different learning methods – from quizzes to videos. Embark on the journey to social inclusion by exploring the Handbook. 17

European Solidarity Corps * Span the World with Solidarity “Span the World with Solidarity” was a volunteering project under the European Solidarity Corps Programme of the European Union. We had a chance to host Iris Garcia, a volunteer from Catalonia, in our office in Brussels. This was a chance for the long-term volunteer to develop different competencies by providing voluntary activities in the areas of education, training and youth work. The project specifically wanted to encourage international solidarity as one of the core principles of our organisation’s vision of youth education by letting one motivated volunteer actively take part in this experience and create a positive impact on society. Practically this meant that the volunteer supported the delivery of non-formal education activities and joined training teams of several seminar and training courses online and offline. Besides this, Iris helped to develop educational materials, online platforms and campaign materials. She used her time to connect to other volunteers globally and locally to implement educational activities together, especially in the Reach Out! Working group, the Feminist thematic network and in occasional events such as the European Falcon Network seminar and activities from our annual work plan.

Interested to also volunteer in our office in the following years? We will soon be o pening another call for this opportunity so keep checking our website. 18

Kids Got Rights *Overview: In 2021 we kicked off our long-term project, Kids Got Rights, that will last until December of 2022. This project aims to empower children (focusing on 8-13 years old target) to fight for their rights and to be heard.

*Activities: Kick-off meeting In 2021 we had the Kick-off meeting of Kid’s Got Rights project with children from 8-13 years old online. In this meeting the children got to know about the project and participated in shaping the direction of the project.

Children Self Analysis In this part children’s groups, from Austria, Catalonia/Spain, Denmark, Finland, Slovenia, Italy, and the U.K., conducted self-analysis about the children right situation in their surroundings, the data from the self analysis will be used on a Research on the current state of children’s participation, children rights mainstreaming and self-organisation at local level

Sharing Meeting The Sharing Meeting was carried out in a hybrid format, with meetings happening in Denmark, Finland, Italy, Slovenia, and the UK. Four organisations (IFM-SEI, Arciragazzi, ESPLAC and Kinderfreunde) went to Italy and had an international meeting as planned. The rest (DUI-Leg og Virke, Nuoret Kotkat, Slovenian Falcons and Woodcraft Folk) had national meetings in their own communities, connecting with the rest of the children in specific sessions of the project. The University of Barcelona also took part online to the meeting.

In this meeting the children shared the results of the national Children’s Rights Superheroes’ Self- Analysis, Identified training needs and topics to be conducted on a national level for each of the Children’s Rights Superhero’s in the seven partner countries, and shared and developed educational materials, tools, better practices and methods to educate children on their rights.

Residential training The Residential Training was a national event in all partner countries aimed to train the Children's Rights Superheroes on human rights education, to develop their capacity to manage and conduct educational/training activities for other children or groups of adults on the theme of rights (forming of the Kids Hubs)

Socialist Education Training for Trainers

The Socialist Education training took place online in March 2021 and aimed to not only promote socialist education but to equip youth workers with tools and competencies needed to become multipliers of socialist education. The seminar was not funded by any programme and was run on a voluntary basis. It gathered 17 participants from different regions, that had a chance to further develop the competencies needed to design, plan, implement and evaluate non-formal educational activities from the perspective of socialist education. This included understanding the principles of non-formal education and socialist education, exploring tools and methods to deliver activities online and sharing of experience from a broad scope of topics such as internationalism, human rights, solidarity, and anti-capitalism.

Pride And Visibility Month IFM-SEI

In 2021, we celebrated the LGBTQIA+ community with an online parade and a queer game event. Every Tuesday in June we celebrated #QueerTuesday by posting a rainbow collage with colorful pictures of IFM-SEI members and volunteers. Members were encouraged to participate and send their own pictures in their favorite rainbow color. Throughout the month, we remembered queer history by posting a series of information about the Stonewall Riots, a milestone in the fights for LGBTQIA+ rights and a symbol of pride and empowerment. On 29 June, we celebrated the Pride and Visibility Month by also organising a Queer Game Event. 23

Unpacking Power and Privilege

Through the Feminist Network we have established a cooperation with IUSY Feminist Working Group by implementing a common project “Unpacking Power & Privilege”. Through the activity we aimed to unpack our personal and community privilege which is a crucial step to using this power to lead individually and collectively for social justice. The activity was designed and conducted in four sessions over a period from mid-January to mid-February 2021.

The focus of each session was as follows: Session 1: Learning and understanding privilege and power Session 2: Gaining skills and practices in seeing systematic privileges Session 3: Unpacking privilege for actions of awareness and solidarity Session 4: How to share knowledge and resources with member organisations All workshops were implemented using non-formal education and experiential learning. The participants had a chance to learn and understand privilege and power, gain skills and practice in recognizing systematic privileges and able to identify intersections of identities leading either to privilege or oppression. 24

External Representation

Even though 2021 was completely transferred online, we have sustained our cooperation with other global and European based children and youth organisation. IFM-SEI continued the work with the European Youth Forum. We have attended the online statutory meetings, joined the coordination group of Funding for Youth Organisation and actively participated in writing of recommendations towards the Conference on the Future of Europe. We followed closely the progression of Erasmus+ successor programme and have joined the stakeholders’ group of the European Year of Youth. Additionally, we increased our engagement in global youth processes. Our Vice President (Ellen-Lindsey) was elected in the task force of the International Coordination Meeting of Youth Organisations (ICMYO). We are also represented at Generation Equality Forum youth Task Force (say Hi to Pip Gardner).

Finally, IFM-SE became member at the world civil society alliance CIVICUS and are excited to look forward for future cooperation as well as possibilities and chances for our members.

Statutory Meetings

International Committee 2021 – Online The International Committee is the highest decision making and administrative body during the congress period. It takes place at least once every year in which an ordinary congress is not held. The IC is an opportunity for our membership to send delegates who can participate in our democratic processes, and vote on decisions on all matters relating to IFM-SEI. In 2021, we held our IC meeting in 22-25 April 2021 bringing together 27 member organisations with a total of 37 people in attendance. We were able to hold critical discussions about how to make IFM-SEI events more inclusive in language and translation, a new voting system for IFM-SEI member organisations during IC and congress, addressing conflict of interest within IFM-SEI among other important issues affecting the movement.

The membership has adopted the following resolutions: - Resolution on Child and Youth Participation. - Resolution on Fair Share to End Child Labour. - Resolution on Conflict of Interest Policy and Procedures for Elected Officers and Staff. - Resolution on Transport and Diverse Participation. - Resolution on Inclusive Discussion and Language Translation. - Resolution AYF Armenia. - Resolution on Establishing a Participative Process for Developing Sustainable and Democratic Systems and Processes within and for IFM-SEI. 28

Presidium The role of the Presidium is vital to our movements: to lead on the implementation of our Strategy and Work Plan, to ensure that resolutions are implemented, and to discuss political issues concerning IFM-SEI and liaise with member organisations. The Presidium had to move its meetings online throughout 2021 due to continued COVID-19 restrictions on freedom of movement. However, the presidium decided to implement one to one’s meeting with the members to check on them during Covid-19 pandemic and how can we support each other’s during this time, as well as to update them on IFM-SEI presidium work and what each member needs.

Control Commission The Control Commission’s role is to monitor the finances of IFM-SEI and our compliance with the IFM-SEI Constitution. The Presidium meets approximately every two months, and the Control Commission meets at least twice per year. So far in their mandate, the Control Commission has approved IFM-SEI’s Budget for 2020, 2021, and 2022, as well as supported the presidium to develop fundraising strategy for IFM-SEI.

Thematic Networks Thematic networks became a key statutory body of IFM-SEI since our Congress in 2019. The networks provide an opportunity for our membership to bring their expertise on specific topics and complement Presidium’s work in those areas. It is also an opportunity for IFM-SEI to support our member organisations to develop their work in specific fields, and for member organisations to collaborate and work together on different themes. The following networks are established and working:

Rainbow Network

Feminist Network

Accessibility Network

Migration Network

We have seen more engagement with the Feminist, Accessibility and Migration networks when they have been supported by the European Solidarity Corps volunteers in the secretariat.

Regional Networks The regional networks are becoming more sustainable with the structure in each region vary from the other depending on their needs and resources. Each regional network has elected a regional coordinator that the region decides on the tasks they need to carry. In 2021, our regional networks have met at least once with the Latin America region, African Falcon Network, and the European Falcon Network all meeting online. These meetings have been attended by secretariat and presidium members where appropriate. In our strategic priority for 2022-25, “Stronger IFM-SEI”, recognises these networks as vital structures within IFM-SEI and focuses on continuing to build and support these as an organisation.

Working Groups and Task Force In 2021 we had formed different working groups and task force.

Centenary Celebration Task Force This group is set up for a fixed term from 2019 till 2022 Congress. Its main work will be on centenary celebration. The task is ensuring that as many IFM-SEI organisations and members as possible are engaged with the centenary celebrations. They are finding ways for members contribution to the development of the centenary and engaging members through creative and traditional media, They aim to have a huge number of members from IFM-SEI MOs are able to celebrate 100 years of IFM-SEI establishment in 2022. In this link you find more about the celebration

Child and youth Participation Task Force The Task Force analysed the current structure of IFM-SEI and proposed ideas and guidelines on how to make our organisation more child and youth friendly and how can IFM-SEI be even more open and participatory in decision making. Those proposals would be discussed at IFM-SEI Congress in 2022, stay tuned to know the results.

Democratic and Participatory IFM-SEI Task Force This group was set up for a fixed term from September 2020 till the 2021 International Committee. It consisted of 7 people with a maximum of 2 persons per region. Together with the Presidium, they developed proposals to improve IFM-SEI’s structures and operations to become more democratic and inclusive. One of the main changes was changing the official language of IFM-SEI from Only English, to also French and Spanish.

Reflection Group Is a proposal from the presidium and the secretariat of IFM-SEI to initiate an organisation-wide

reflection

power,

specifically

looking

whiteness,

European-ness (in terms of our HQ and the funding we receive), and the unconscious biases we hold. From this reflection, we can collectively work on policies and practices to make sure that our IFM-SEI family is inclusive, diverse, and safer for all minorities. The reflection group will set up to shape and lead reflection processes across our member organisations.

IFM-SEI Finances In 2021 IFM-SEI had witness a growth in our budget of around the double and was able to enact an increasing number of projects and a larger secretariat to go with it. The finances remained stable with the aim of a breakeven budget. Thanks to our operating grant from the European Commission, the Structural Grant from the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe, project grants, membership fees and donations, we are able to run an effective secretariat in Brussels and organise meetings, projects, and activities to put into action our Aims and Principles. However, it is important to mention that, with all the instability that 2021 came with, financially it was very hard to keep and implement the international activities as planned, this has had some impact in our finance, as we had to postpone and cancel some of our projects.

Educational Resources We have expended our library of educational resources with publications on the topic of climate justice and social inclusion.

Resist! Toolkit The following toolkit contains non-formal educational activities for youth and children on Climate Change with an intersectional perspective on capitalism, race, gender and children’s rights. It was inspired by activities and local projects with groups and organisations across four continents in the framework of the project “Resist! The Global Climate Divide”.

Diversity and Inclusion Checklist

This checklist was directly developed by young people from marginalised communities involved in the “Dream our G->Local Movement” project. It has been created with the clear aim to identify best practices for promoting diversity and inclusion in the movement. The checklist is a simple self-assessment guide that will guide the reader step by step through issues linked with diversity and inclusion in youth projects and local youth work. It will provide understanding of compliance, cultural awareness, respect for differences, and coaching for positive change towards inclusive practices for all young people. 39

Dream our G->Local Movement Handbook This Handbook was created to support the movement with concrete ideas, resources and methods for inclusive non-formal education. Active inclusion work means quality and meaningful educational work – to understand why specific marginalized groups are underrepresented in our movements. The activities presented in the Handbook are a good and inspirational start for anyone embarking on the adventure to make their organisation more inclusive and diverse. The activities were either developed by participants of the “Dream our G->our Local Movement” workplan or inspired by the discussions and spirit of the project and its goal to educate on inclusion and diversity. Activities were designed in a way that they provide the reader with concrete tools on accessibility and inclusiveness of the methodology without sacrificing space for any adaptation to the needs of the target group.

Inclusion and Diversity Quiz 2021 was also a year of providing our members with tools that are more creative, accessible and adapted to different learning style. With the aim to better promote the educational resources created in the framework of “Dream our G->Local Movement” project, we developed an interactive method for our members to assess their skills and knowledge on inclusion and diversity. The tool guides the user through different scenarios and based on the answer directs the individual towards different sections of “Dream our G->Local Movement Handbook” that will most benefit their development. Connect through this link to assess your inclusion practices.

Animated Video about Tokenism In our “Dream our G->Local Movement Handbook” which presents ideas, resources and methods for inclusive non-formal education, we mention some practices to either avoid or implement to encourage inclusion and diversity. Tokenism was especially being pointed out as a practice to be avoided. We have recognised that young people absorb knowledge in different ways and developed an animated video on the topic of tokenism that will spark an interest of young people to dive deeper into the themes of social inclusion and diversity and enhance their learning and engage their attention.
