WOSM: Gifts for Peace (One World, One Promies - 100 years of Scouting)

|www.scouting2007.org|

The concept: Every Scout in the world making a contribution towards peace to mark the 100th anniversary of Scouting.

The subject of peace – specifically peace education - has always been a fundamental part of Scouting. Scouting recognises the need for renewed action to combat the problems which we all face; chief amongst these is the need for a more peaceful world achieved through a culture of peace, and not simply the absence of war. By focusing on the development of the individual and by striving towards an ideal of fraternity and understanding, Scouting already plays a tremendous, although indirect, role in the promotion of peace at all levels. This 100th anniversary is an excellent time to celebrate the work which has been done by Scouting in the cause of peace and to demonstrate publicly our commitment, as a Movement, to creating a more peaceful world and linking with others having similar aims. It was decided by the 36th World Scout Conference in Thessoloniki that during 2007 each National Scout Organization should present a Gift for Peace and that these gifts should be the result of work accomplished by young people since 2005.

WAGGGS: Our Rights, Our Responsibilities - Triennial Theme 2002-2005, 2005 - 2008

|Our Rights, Our Responsibilites|

Das Thema wurde durch World Bureau Circular N° 3305 bis 2008 verlängert.

Our Rights, Our Responsibilities

WAGGGS members everywhere are being called to action by the current Triennial Theme, ‘Our Rights, Our Responsibilities’. Through this theme, WAGGGS aims to achieve global impact in fulfilling its Mission, which is:

to enable girls and young women
to develop their fullest potential
as responsible citizens of the world.

Building on the enormous amount of work inspired by the last theme, ‘Building World Citizenship’, the theme for 2002 - 2005 develops the idea of world citizenship, both individually and in relation to others. It aims to raise awareness about basic human rights and help people to take active and positive responsibility for claiming those rights, not just for themselves but also for others. Through a comprehensive range of support resources, individual members can be empowered to become active and effective citizens in their local and global community

Our Six Rights

‘Our Rights, Our Responsibilities’ explores the rights of each individual, and the responsibilities that come with these rights, particularly as they relate to young people.

Six areas within the theme deal with important principles relating to confidence in oneself, awareness of others and co-operation between individuals and groups.

The Right to Be Me

This is about discovery of who you are, the development of self-confidence and self-awareness; it is about recognising the right to be different and learning to respect and appreciate others. -> Activity Pack

The Right to be Heard

This is about democracy and the opportunities that we have to develop our opinions and to have them questioned by others. -> Activity Pack

The Right to be Happy

This module helps us to think about what makes each of us happy and what we can do to make ourselves happy without hurting ourselves or other people. -> Activity Pack

The Right to Work Together

Teamwork is especially important in Girl Guiding / Girl Scouting. We can share skills, support each other and achieve far more working together than on your own. -> Activity Pack

The Right to Learn

We all have abilities that need to be developed in different ways; we also need to acquire life-skills to fulfil our potential. -> Activity Pack

The Right to Live in Peace |siehe auch Seite "Peace Education"|

Many of us do not live in a peaceful environment whether at home or in our community or country. This module will help us to recognise why these situations occur and how we can help protect others. -> Activity Pack 

Human Rights in the World Today

The idea of human rights is not new, but recognition of a right does not necessarily secure it for everyone.

During the last century, international and regional codes of Human Rights have been developed and endorsed by governments, but it is still a sad fact that every day:

  • 35,000 children die because they are poor
  • 25,000 people die from diseases carried in dirty water
  • 130 million children cannot go to school because their parents or government cannot afford it
  • Over 50 million children work in dangerous conditions
  • 7.3 million girls and young people live with HIV/AIDS.  

How can WAGGGS Help?

As we begin a new Millennium, there can be little doubt that lack of mutual understanding and respect between people provides fertile ground for the growth of mistrust, fear and even hatred. WAGGGS is one of the few organizations that can demonstrate the opposite. Our non-formal education and exchange programmes build respect, mutual support and friendship. We are in a unique position to support young people, especially girls and young women, as they face the challenges of today ’s world.

Through WAGGGS, girls and young women throughout the world are able to unite and grow in confidence so that they may expect to live in a more just and equitable society. We have a responsibility to call to action our members, so that we will all stand strong together, taking responsibility for the rights we all share.

What can You do?

Every Member Organization, association, troop and individual Girl Guide or Girl Scout is called to action to participate in this theme, to commit to taking action to safeguard and secure rights for yourself and for others, and to encourage others to believe that they can make a difference.

The theme enables you to engage in important contemporary issues that affect people's lives. Through this Theme, you can:

  • Educate yourself and others on the issues of rights and responsibilities, which is the basis of the Promise and Law
  • Join together with others to take positive action on matters of rights and responsibilities and to lobby local, national and international leaders to take positive action
  • Take an advocacy role, wherever possible
  • Demonstrate that Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting deals with contemporary issues and promotes values and positive attitudes that contribute towards building a better world
  • Feed back to WAGGGS on progress with your project and highlight key issues that WAGGGS should focus on at international level.

Through this Theme, you and your group can explore current rights issues, understand what your rights are, and connect your rights with your responsibilities. This connection is important because through it you will recognise your sense of duty in safeguarding and securing rights for yourself and for others.

The Introductory Pack

The Introductory Pack contains background information on the issue of rights and responsibilities, and summaries of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. It also provides guidelines for leaders to help them plan their activity projects, notes on potential partners, ideas for generating publicity and suggestions for keeping a record of activities.

The Activity Packs

Activity Packs have been produced for each of the six areas of 'Our Rights, Our Responsibilities'. The Activity Packs suggest a range of activities for individuals and groups in a wide range of age groups. Two further Packs have also been produced; the 'Olympia Badge' Curriculum, and the 'UNICEF Partnership pack'.

The Olympia Badge Curriculum has been developed with Soma Hellinidon Odigon; The Greek Girl Guides Association. This Badge aims to trigger enthusiasm among all WAGGGS Members for sporting activities and to enhance awareness of the Olympic Games. By working through the activities in the Curriculum, Girl Guides and Girl Scouts can earn Bronze, Silver and Gold badges, which are available from WAGGGS.

The 'UNICEF Partnership pack' details UNICEF priorities and outlines the link between WAGGGS and UNICEF activities."

All the packs stimulate creative ideas and encourage debate. They will help individuals, groups and Member Organizations to:

  • Deepen their knowledge and understanding of rights and responsibilities
  • Take action to safeguard or secure rights for themselves or others
  • Share the lessons they learn for the benefit of others
  • Encourage others to believe that they can make a difference.

As ever, you are the key to success. Commitment, participation and involvement are absolutely essential if the Theme is to have a powerful impact.

WOSM: JOTI - World Scout Jamboree on The Internet

|www.scout.org/joti|

JOTI is... (en)

JOTI is an annual event when Scouts and Guides all over the world make contact with each other by means of the Internet. It is a real Jamboree during which Scouting experiences are exchanged and ideas are shared, thus contributing to the world brotherhood of Scouting. JOTI is a world-wide event mainly for Scouting groups in all youth programme sections, although members may participate individually.

JOTI is officially open 48 hours, from Saturday 00.00h until Sunday 24.00h local time. JOTI is held at the same time as the Jamboree on the Air (JOTA) which focuses on amateur radio communication. Activities for the two events are often conducted together. Well over 500,000 people participate each year.

JOTI and JOTA are for members of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), and also for members of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS).

JOTI ist... (de)

Das World Scout Jamboree On The Internet (JOTI) ist ein internationales Pfadfindertreffen im Internet, das jedes Jahr am dritten vollständigen Oktoberwochenende stattfindet. Es ist eine offizielle Veranstaltung der Weltorganisation der Pfadfinderbewegung (WOSM).

An diesem Wochenende treffen sich Tausende Pfadfinder aus der ganzen Welt, um miteinander über das Internet zu kommunizieren, indem sie jegliche vor Ort zur Verfügung stehende Technologien gebrauchen, von Web-Browsern über E-Mail bis zu Chat-Programmen, Mikrophonen, Scannern und Digitalkameras. Parallel dazu können Pfadfindergruppen auch am Jamboree On The Air (JOTA) teilnehmen, einer Veranstaltung, bei der Pfadfinder - unterstützt durch eine örtliche Amateurfunk-Gruppe - über Funkwellen miteinander kommunizieren können.

Meistens läuft die Kommunikation via E-Mail und in einem Chat-Bereich ab, der sich IRC (englisch: Internet Relay Chat) nennt. JOTI ermöglicht es, Freundschaften mit Pfadfindern in anderen Ländern aufzubauen und mehr über ihr Alltags- und ihr Pfadfinderleben in Erfahrung zu bringen. Oft halten diese Kontakte über Jahre hinweg und sind der Anstoß für zukünftige Gruppenfahrten und gemeinsame Unternehmungen.

Seit 1996 ist JOTI eine offizielle Veranstaltung von WOSM und hat einen festen Platz auf der Webseite des Weltpfadfinderbüros.

World Scout Bureau's Memorandum (16./17. Oktober 2004)

Rationale and History

In November 1996 the World Scout Committee, noting that Scouting already had a considerable presence on the Internet, and that there was already an informal and rapidly growing Jamboree on the Internet, decided that JOTI should become an official international Scouting event, and that it should be held on the same weekend as the Jamboree on the Air (JOTA).

herefore, the World Scout Jamboree on the Internet is to be held on the third full weekend of October each year, starting at 00:00 hours local time on the Saturday and concluding 48 hours later at 24:00 hours local time on the Sunday.

Special Internet Jamborees may also be organized in conjunction with local, national and international Scouting events which are held at other times of the year.

When Scouting was founded in 1907, the concept of Internet was far from the imagination of Scouting's founder Lord Baden-Powell. So were many other aspects of Scouting today. While society and Scouting have changed over the years, Scouting's fundamental principles have essentially stood the test of time and they remain universal for all Scout organizations which are members of the World Organization of the Scout Movement. Scouts around the world share much in common, and Scouting encourages them to use that mutual understanding as the basis for learning about each other, making friends, and building a better and more peaceful world.

The word "Jamboree" is said to have been invented by Baden-Powell as a name for an event which brings Scouts together from around the world. The first World Jamboree was in 1920 and it was a remarkable, historic, event bringing together some 8000 Scouts from 34 countries. The spirit and drive for Scouts to get together at international events has never diminished, and there are hundreds of "international" Scouting events each year. Getting together does not always require a physical presence. In 1957, the concept of the World Scout Jamboree On The Air was launched, and it has been a popular event which today involves more than half-a-million Scouts and Girl Guides who communicate with each other on the third weekend of each October by amateur radio and related technology.

In the mid 1990's the means for international electronic communication became available to virtually anyone with a computer. Scouts have been among the first to use every technological development to "get together" electronically. The spontaneous and overwhelming involvement of Scouts on the Internet is proof that it is a viable way of bringing Scouts together in ways that Baden-Powell probably would have wanted to use to the fullest. 

Some Characteristics of Scouting on the Internet

  • It is an economical way of communicating locally, nationally and internationally. 
  • Worldwide accessibility and availability. 
  • Speed of communication: It can be instantaneous or live.
  • Potential quality of communication: Scouts on the Internet can go beyond simply saying "Hi". There is potential for sharing more meaningful information, establishing friendships, improving the Scout programme, starting projects, etc.
  • Educational: The amount of useful information about Scouting available via the Internet is large and growing daily.
  • Languages: It is possible to participate in JOTI by contacting others who share your language. If someone is communicating in another language, you can use "off-line" time to more carefully compose messages. 

Guidelines for organizing the World Scout JOTI

  • As there is considerable overlap in programme objectives and often the technology, the annual JOTA and JOTI should be planned (when possible) in conjunction with each other.
  • It is recommended that each national Scout Organization appoint a national coordinator for JOTI
  • Scouts are in contact worldwide with each other via Internet at any moment of every day, but the purpose of JOTI is to bring "together" as many people as possible at a specific time period with certain objectives.
  • While it is possible for an individual to sit at home alone and participate in JOTI, the emphasis of JOTI should be placed on participating in the context of Scouting: at Scouting events with groups/troops/patrols. Of course, JOTI is ideal for lone Scouts who live in remote areas.
  • JOTI activities should offer opportunities for Scouts who:
    • don't have computers
    • don't have WWW access on Internet
    • are disabled
  • JOTI may be only one element in a weekend event such as a camp or public open house, shopping mall exhibit, etc.
  • JOTI should be the opportunity for Scouts with Internet experience to share their knowledge and skills with others, using the fundamental Scouting principle of "learning by doing".

Who can participate?

JOTI is for young girls and boys who are members of national Scout organizations which are members of the World Organization of the Scout Movement. Members of national associations of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts are also heartly welcome to participate.

Some "Rules"

  • It is courteous to acknowledge messages which are received.
  • If you promise to send information or exchange badges then keep your word.
  • Think before you write. Do not use language which could offend others.
  • Be cautious about giving your address or telephone number on the Internet. Instead, share a common address for all members of your scoutgroup.
