(Offre en anglais) Heinrich Böll Foundation lance un appel à candidature au Regional Summer School 2016 عودة إلى الفرص

Heinrich Böll Foundation (hbs), represented through its offices in Palestine, Lebanon, Tunisia and Morocco, welcomes applicants from Arab countries in the Middle East and North Africa to apply for its Regional Summer School 2016 that will take place between 14-18 August 2016 in Amman, Jordan.

Heinrich Böll Foundation carries on these regional schools to build the capacities of the participants and to stir a debate about urgent current policy topics. They also provide the international lecturers with information about and viewpoints from the region, and offer an excellent platform for exchanging ideas, opinions, arguments and sharing experiences across the region. The program promotes networking among civil society actors, researchers, and activists in the region working in the fields of resource rights, governance, climate, gender and environment.

The focus of the Summer School of this year is Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their approach to achieve gender- just sustainable development. Specific topics will be addressed related to gender and sustainability, inclusion of climate change and other environmental issues in SDGs, role of communities in resource management, gender integration to resource management and politics, and gender climate change adaptation.

We have chosen the SDGs to be the focus of Summer School 2016 in light of the current discussions on climate change politics and making environmental issues as specific goals in the SDGs, as an attempt to achieve sustainable development in all countries in the globe and not only in the “developing countries” as it was the focus of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

Summer School 2016 will include lectures, working groups, round table discussions, workshops and others. In addition to the content-focused sessions, the Summer School will offer workshops for practical skill development in areas such as environmental campaigning and social media
