We are pleased to announce the results of the call for applications for a study visit to the Utøya Learning Centre in Norway. Out of seventy applications, we have selected twelve organisations whose representatives will attend a workshop on the Norwegian island in June this year.
It was not easy to choose who would take part in the visit: we received seventy applications from teams of two, from whom we eventually selected eleven pairs to take part in the trip and who will go to Utøya not only to learn about the work of local educators and the experience of rebuilding the island’s identity after the tragic events of 2011, but also to work on their ideas and the challenges they face in their work in aid of dialogue, counter-radicalisation and remembrance.
The organisations whose representatives will be invited to take part in the trip are:
- EduKABE Foundation for Creative Solutions with Women’s Association Lodz,
- Autonomy Foundation,
- Bezkres Foundation,
- Fruit of the Meeting Foundation,
- Borussia Foundation,
- Common Forms Foundation,
- Shtetl Foundation Mszana Dolna,
- Actions for Peace Laboratory – Salam Lab,
- The Polish Platform for Homeland Security,
- Witold Dynowski Ethnographic Workshop Association,
- Subcarpathian Association for Active Families
All the organisations on the list above will be contacted in the coming days to work out the logistical details of the trip.
We are organising the visit as the Active Citizens Fund – National Programme in cooperation with the Active Citizens Fund – Regional Programme.
