High time to critically look at International Voluntary Service (IVS) and work on the necessary changes inside and outside our volunteer organisations to make IVS more inclusive and equitable. That is what Decolonise Now! Is all about.
ABOUT THE TRAINING:
The training focuses on visual storytelling by using digital mediums to advocate for equal, inclusive non-discriminatory volunteer service organisations. Storytelling it’s not just about communication; it’s a strategy, a game-changer. It allows us to unveil the authentic experiences of volunteers, revealing the complexities of their interactions with local communities. It’s a tool to dismantle colonial structures, bridging gaps and connecting a global audience in a dialogue that knows no borders.
But digital storytelling isn’t a mere conduit; it’s a pathway to meaningful decolonisation. Through compelling narratives on digital platforms, we challenge existing norms and confront power imbalances in the volunteering space. It’s a journey into uncharted territories, where we advocate
for fair exchange, climate justice, and equitable partnerships in international volunteering. This course transcends a typical training experience; it’s an unfolding narrative, arming us with the mesmerising influence of digital storytelling to shape a world that’s fair and just—for both volunteers and the communities they serve.
This training is part of the CCIVS 2024 work plan “Decolonise. Now!” supported by the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe and builds on the work done in the past years by CCIVS and its members on biases and power relations within the IVS movement. www.ccivs.org/decolonise.
