Vandaag - 12 april - is de lancering van onze nieuwe School voor democratie<\/a> pilot voor jonge, veelbelovende en toekomstige leiders in Irak.<\/p>\n

Via de school voor democratie willen we deze (aspirant-)leiders democratische vaardigheden en kennis bijbrengen, zodat ze hun carri\u00e8re kunnen uitbouwen. Door jonge leiders samen te brengen in een meerpartijenomgeving, helpen we hen ook een netwerk op te bouwen dat ze kunnen gebruiken om democratische waarden te delen en uit te bouwen over politieke scheidslijnen heen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Het project wordt uitgevoerd door Organisatie voor emancipatie van vrouwen (WEO)<\/a> in een consortium met NIMD. Ons werk wordt gefinancierd door de Ontwikkelingsprogramma van de Verenigde Naties (UNDP)<\/a> en de Nederlandse ambassade in Irak<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hoe werkt de pilot?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

NIMD is verheugd om samen met onze partner WEO - een NGO die zich inzet voor het verbeteren van de sociale, politieke, economische en culturele participatie van vrouwen en gemarginaliseerde groepen in Irak - deel te nemen aan dit proefproject.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Het proefproject zal tussen nu en juni bestaan uit zes workshops over democratische kennis en vaardigheden en zal 25 veelbelovende toekomstige leiders samenbrengen.<\/p>\n

Deze jongeren zijn een combinatie van actieve en aspirant-leiders. Ze vertegenwoordigen een gelijke mix van vrouwen en mannen, en een brede geografische spreiding uit heel Irak.<\/p>\n

Lokale democratie-experts en trainers in democratische vaardigheden van verder weg zullen de training verzorgen. Voor dit laatste hebben we gerekend op de kennis en expertise van onze langetermijnpartner in Tunesi\u00eb, Centrum voor mediterraanse en internationale studies<\/a> (CEMI). CEMI kon onschatbare ondersteuning en middelen bieden op basis van hun ervaring met het implementeren van de Tunesi\u00eb School voor politiek<\/a> al bijna 10 jaar.<\/p>\n

Waarom een pilot met een democratische school?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In 2019 hebben we het volgende ondersteund Instituut Clingendael<\/a> om een analyse<\/a> om de mogelijkheden voor werken in Irak in kaart te brengen. We ontdekten dat jongeren een belangrijke - en vaak over het hoofd geziene - rol kunnen spelen bij het opbouwen van een levensvatbare democratie in het land.<\/p>\n

Via de school voor democratie hopen we jongeren de middelen te geven om deze rol op zich te nemen en hun democratie te versterken.<\/p>\n

In de kennismodule leren ze over het politieke systeem in Irak, de idee\u00ebn en waarden erachter en de overeenkomsten en verschillen met andere landen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In de vaardighedenmodule krijgen ze een voorproefje van wat het betekent om een leider te zijn en hoe ze moeilijke politieke kwesties moeten aanpakken.<\/p>\n

De Democratie is ook een kans voor de deelnemers om te leren van hun medestudenten. De school is een kans om een sterk netwerk van democraten uit het hele land te vormen die samen, ondanks hun verschillen, zullen streven naar een sterker en democratischer Irak.<\/p>\n

\"Jullie zijn de toekomst van dit land en ik ben er trots op dat ik jullie kan steunen. We hopen dat jullie zullen leren van jullie leeftijdsgenoten en een sterk netwerk zullen vormen van jonge mensen met zeer verschillende achtergronden.\" NIMD-directeur Thijs Berman bij de lancering.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dit is een zeer belangrijk aspect van alle NIMD's Scholen met democratie<\/a> over de hele wereld. Natuurlijk leren deelnemers naar elkaars standpunten te luisteren en deze te respecteren. Maar scholen zijn ook de plek waar vertrouwen kan worden opgebouwd en vriendschappen kunnen ontstaan die deelnemers later in hun carri\u00e8re kunnen gebruiken. Onze scholen voor democratie gaan over impact en verandering op de lange termijn.<\/p>\n

Daarom is deze pilot slechts de eerste stap. Op basis van de resultaten evalueren we de mogelijkheden om dit project voort te zetten. We hopen dat de pilot het begin zal zijn van een langer proces, waarbij we met alle partijen kunnen samenwerken en meer jongeren in hun kracht kunnen zetten.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

De lancering<\/strong><\/h3>\n

De lancering van de school werd bijgewoond door de nieuwe deelnemers van de school, de Nederlandse ambassadeur in Irak, H.E. Michel Rentenaar, en de nieuwe trainers.<\/p>\n

\"Vandaag is de eerste stap naar een heel andere persoonlijke toekomst voor jullie allemaal\". De Nederlandse ambassadeur in Irak, Michel Rentenaar.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Na welkomsttoespraken door H.E. Rentenaar en de directeuren van NIMD en WEO, werden de deelnemers voorgesteld aan hun trainers en hadden ze wat tijd om elkaar te leren kennen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We wensen de deelnemers veel succes met hun komende maanden van training en netwerkopbouw.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
