News, Opportunities, Volunteering, Workshop

Eye Heroes is a child-led campaign to fight avoidable blindness. Children are trained through volunteer-led interactive workshops in schools to become eye health champions, and inform adults in their communities about eye health and the benefits of regular eye tests. The workshops are run for free by local volunteers, marrying the science of eye health with the pressing need to raise awareness in children aged 8-12, using ways such as games and videos. They are looking for Local Leads in the UK who would recruit volunteers and run workshops in local schools. If interested please contact coordinator@eyeheroes.org.uk.

Erasmus+ Programme

The European Commission Representation in the UK has commissioned Access Europe to deliver advice and support to promote the Erasmus+ programme.

We will help organisations across England to develop applications for European Voluntary Service and Youth Exchanges. These provide opportunities for young people to learn, develop their skills and volunteer in Europe and beyond through:

Full-time voluntary service for up to 12 months in another country within or outside the European Union
Youth exchanges during which young people meet, live and work together on a chosen topic through a mix of workshops, exercises, debates, role-plays, simulations, outdoor activities etc.

We are launching this project with two application workshops on the 9^th and 10^th January at Europe House in London. Further events will be organised in February for the 26^th April deadline (Call 2) and in June/July for the 4^thOctober deadline (Call 3) across England.

The workshops will provide practical information on how to develop a successful Youth Exchange and EVS project application. We will give all participants a good understanding of:

The Erasmus+ programme and its objectives
The value of non-formal education for young people
Working with transnational partners
Project’s logical framework
Dissemination and sharing results
Monitoring and evaluation

The workshops are aimed at organisations who have a project idea and need practical advice on how to fill the application form. See the agenda and briefing note for more information.

The workshops are free to attend and are open to all organisations active in the field of youth.

If you would like to attend, fill in the form by Thursday 5^th January 2017 and return to info@accesseurope.org.uk.

SROI Practitioner Training

Want to incorporate social value into your service but don’t know how? Having problems with allocating limited resources?

With the Social Value Act as law for over two years now, the need for measuring and demonstrating social value is ongoing. Meanwhile, services are enduring brutal public sector cuts and budgetary constraints, making value for money even more important when making tough decisions.

SROI, or Social Return on Investment, is a framework that can be used to measure, manage, report and account for social value whether you’re involved in commissioning, procurement or service delivery. It helps you to understand where social value is being created and destroyed by involving stakeholders and valuing what matters to them.

If you’re interested in learning about services through the eyes of the people they serve, and understanding where money is best allocated to create most value, SROI is for you. All training is delivered by Social Value UK Accredited SROI Practitioners and is suitable for any experience level. Training is on 8-19th January in London.
