Uniterra contribue à améliorer les conditions socioéconomiques des communautés pauvres et marginalisées de 14 pays et avec plus de 200 partenaires en Afrique, en Amérique latine, dans les Caraïbes et en Asie, par l’échange d’expertises et de connaissances entre des volontaires canadiens et internationaux.

DESCRIPTION DU SÉMINAIRE

Depuis plus de 70 ans, le Séminaire international Uniterra offre aux étudiant-e-s et aux jeunes professionnel-le-s une expérience unique d’échange et de partage de connaissances entre différentes cultures. Initié en 1948 par l’Entraide universitaire mondiale du Canada (EUMC), le Séminaire international Uniterra réunit des jeunes de toutes les régions du monde pour collaborer et apprendre ensemble.

Depuis les cinq dernières années, un nouveau volet de ce programme a vu le jour avec une série de séminaires organisés sous le thème de l’entrepreneuriat des jeunes au Pérou (2014), au Vietnam (2015) et au Ghana (2018). Allant de pair avec la Politique d’aide internationale féministe du Canada (PAIF), le séminaire de 2018 a, pour la toute première fois, rassemblé uniquement des jeunes femmes entrepreneures.

Fort de cette expérience et de ses leçons apprises, le Séminaire international 2019 s’articulera à nouveau sous le thème de l’entrepreneuriat féminin et aura lieu à Dakar, au Sénégal. D’une durée de deux semaines au mois de novembre, il rassemblera 20 jeunes entrepreneur-e-s, dont 10 canadien-ne-s et 10 sénégalais-e-s, engagé-e-s dans le développement social et économique de leur communauté par le biais d’entreprises innovantes. Ces jeunes entrepreneur-e-s du Sénégal et du Canada réaliseront ensemble un projet collaboratif de groupe dont l’objectif principal sera de créer une ressource pour outiller les jeunes femmes désireuses de se lancer dans l’aventure entrepreneuriale, notamment les participantes du projet pilote sur les innovations mis en œuvre par le CECI Sénégal.

Relevant du Coordonnateur pays Uniterra au Sénégal, en collaboration avec le ou la Cordonnateur-trice sénégalais-e et avec le support de l’équipe du Séminaire international, le ou la Cordonnateur-trice du Séminaire international sera responsable du développement, de la planification, de l’organisation et de la coordination logistique du séminaire.

À la fin de l’événement de deux semaines, le ou la coordonnateur-trice réalisera une capitalisation de l’expérience à travers l’analyse des résultats du séminaire. Il-elle sera invité-e à construire sur les acquis, les apprentissages et les avancées qui en découleront, principalement au niveau de l’entrepreneuriat des jeunes et de l’empowerment et de l’autonomisation des femmes. Le rôle et les tâches du-de la coordonnateur-trice seront clairement définis une fois que le séminaire aura pris fin en fonction des principales conclusions qui en émergeront et des suites que l’équipe du CECI Sénégal voudra lui donner, afin d’en assurer une meilleure pérennité. À titre d’exemple, le-la coordonnateur-trice pourrait être amené-e à poursuivre les initiatives de mentorat et d’appui aux jeunes femmes entrepreneures sénégalaises qui auront débuté dans le cadre du Séminaire international, ou encore dans le cadre du projet pilote sur les innovations.

The Youth Ambassador of Reconciliation Program is designed to provide non-Indigenous CRC young people with the tools and opportunity to act as bridges between their church community and a local Aboriginal community. The program is based on these values and principles: experiential, self-directed learning; mutual reciprocity that’s not based on charity; being in relationship WITH and not TO or FOR people; and Asset Based Community Development (ABCD).

The Youth Ambassador of Reconciliation (YAR) will have the opportunity to learn and practice skills related to reconciliation by participating in a week long cross-cultural reconciliation journey in Southern Ontario and then developing a Reconciliation Action Plan within a CRC-affiliated faith community that they are connected to (i.e., local church, campus ministry, school, etc).

The week long cross-cultural reconciliation journey consists of a small learning community traveling to critical sites of racism, resistance, resilience and reconciliation. We will meet and hear from different Indigenous and non-Indigenous leaders directly involved in past and present Indigenous justice issues in Canada.

Each member of the learning community will be partnered with someone who has a differing racial/ethnic identity than themselves and encouraged to experience and process the journey together, as well as with the group as a whole. The Reconciliation Action Plan is designed to build or strengthen relationships between the YAR’s church community and a local First Nations community (via a reserve or Friendship Centre).

The young adult will be supported by the following people on their reconciliation journey: a Youth Mentor – a leader chosen from their faith-based community (ie; deacon, elder, Pastor, campus chaplain, youth leader) who will assist them with processing their learning and help them with the planning and implementation of a contextualized Reconciliation Action Plan; and a Youth Coach – a CRCNA staff member who will provide training, 1-to-1 support, resources and coaching throughout each step of the process.

This program is made possible through partnership with Global Youth Volunteer Network (GYVN). GYVN’s mission is to empower and strengthen Indigenous communities through traditional land-based education, food sovereignty, and solidarity networks.

The EWB Fellows Program exists to develop a cadre of Systems Change Leaders by equipping them with the opportunities, competencies and skills needed to build a more thriving and sustainable world. Every year we recruit 25-30 outstanding people for the 12-month Fellowship, placing successful candidates in one of our early-stage Ventures or social enterprise partners located throughout Sub Saharan Africa.

Multiple roles available in Finance, Engineering, Communications, Business, Impact Evaluation, Impact Measurement, Development, Data Management & more
