Fields of Activity
  1. Youth and education
General Information
The organization has around 20 active members, all volunteers, no employees. Due to its recent establishment, it has no funds yet. We plan to get funding from government and local authorities, donors and, to small extent, from the users of our activities. We are in the process of setting up a web page, creating presentation material, and making contact with possible partners. We organize group activities for children, adolescents and volunteers (short-term project groups, camps), long-term individual support for children and parents; training seminars, study groups and mentorship for volunteers; seminars for schoolteachers and parents.
Mission and Objectives

The central aim is implementation of group and pair activities, which are organized by a diverse (in age and occupation) community of highly motivated volunteers with the aim to support children and adolescents. There is considerable diversity among the children and adolescents as well. Our approach is to promote and explore this diversity, in order for the group and its members to subsist and grow. In the context of everyday activities and living together, often in natural habitat, we are exploring alternative ways of understanding individual mental and interpersonal patterns, as well as group dynamics. As the adults let their own vulnerability and fallibility show, a community is created in which the young are not instructed, but rather respected and led to see the growth of people of all ages and walks of life. Regular training activities aim to support the volunteers in their work and personal experience.

Main Projects / Activities

The group activities mainly take the form of camps, workshops, seminars and project groups. A major project is a sociotherapeutic (summer and winter) camp for children and adolescents with psychosocial problems. Membership in groups is assisted by regular individual support of a child or adolescent, as well as the volunteer. Mentorship, several study groups and team work promote and guarantee continuous orientation to research and learning about the practices which are being explored and developed.

  1. Religion
General Information

We are educators, professors of religion, theologians and clergy. As individuals and as a group, we are inspired by the ideals of democracy, justice, mutual cooperation, human dignity and moral education. To us, the work that we aspire to accomplish is not simply a job, but rather a calling. As we hail from diverse cultural backgrounds and religions, we are able to weave our experiences into a rich tapestry of ideas in which we complement and enrich each other’s work. As academics, we represent an array of disciplines whose individual concerns and research inform our individual contributions to the Network.

Mission and Objectives

Our goal is to effect a change in the world of education and create new educational perspectives that facilitate and promote co-existence, communication and mutual cooperation among people. In our opinion, religion – even in our postmodern world – needs to play an important role in this new educational paradigm. Our goals are:

- To create intercultural educational models to promote bilingualism.

- To create concepts and materials for cooperative religious education and have them adopted by the public school system

- To create and cultivate a wide network of inter-religious contacts

- To offer training and workshops for educators

- To participate in conferences to increase the Network’s reach and attract new members

General Information
PRESENTATION GENERALE DU PROJET JORSALA Dans les années à venir, un groupe de citoyens européens partira du cœur de l’Europe pour ouvrir la route Jorsala, itinéraire pédestre transeuropéen qui reliera Bruxelles à Istanbul. Pendant 4 mois, cette marche citoyenne, pluriculturelle et non confessionnelle, rassemblera des personnes de toutes origines et de tous horizons autour d’un objectif commun : construire un espace de dialogue interculturel, susceptible de susciter à son tour la création de nouveaux espaces. Afin de préparer et de tester cette édition européenne, nous organiserons une première marche à plus petite échelle en avril 2012 reliant Bruxelles à Aix-la-Chapelle. A travers la marche, nous nous avons le désir d’aller au-delà de nos peurs, pour (re)trouver ce qui nous est commun ; ce qui, au-delà de toutes nos appartenances – culturelles, religieuses, sociales et autres – fait notre humanité profonde, donnant ainsi sens à nos existences, à nos différences et à nos échanges. Nous voulons ainsi nous engager sur la voie du dialogue, indispensable pour la construction d’une paix durable et d’un avenir serein. DE QUOI S’AGIRA-T-IL EXACTEMENT ? D’une marche reliant Bruxelles à Aix-la-Chapelle par les sentiers de « grande randonnée », du 31 mars au 11 avril 2012 (dates correspondant aux vacances de Pâques), ponctuée par différents petits évènements, ainsi qu’un évènement d’une plus grande envergure au départ de Bruxelles. Nous prévoyons un jour de repos à Liège. Nous ouvrirons la marche à un nombre limité de participants (environ 100), en veillant à relayer l’évènement auprès de populations diversifiées, par l’intermédiaire d’associations-relais. Les marcheurs parcourront entre 20 et 25 km par jour et seront accueillis par des collectivités locales. Les marcheurs seront aussi accompagnés d’un caméraman, filmant le quotidien de la marche, ce qui permettra d’alimenter quotidiennement le blog de la marche. Le soir, dans certaines communes, des animations seront prévues pour les marcheurs et les populations locales, visant à favoriser/installer le dialogue, la rencontre et plus largement un esprit de convivialité. Il s’agira de petits concerts par des artistes locaux ou d’autres régions, de conférences, d’activités de découverte historique et culturelle, de rencontres avec des associations locales, etc. Pour en savoir plus et collaborer Jorsala est porté et soutenu par la Fondation M, reconnue d’utilité publique, créée par l’homme d’affaires et mécène belge Pierre Moorkens.

Mission and Objectives

Vision
Nous croyons :
- En l’importance de l’existence d’espaces de dialogue entre personnes et groupes humains qui n’ont pas l’occasion de se rencontrer ;
- Au besoin de l’être humain de vivre des expériences porteuses de sens pour fonder ses relations avec autrui ;
- En la dignité de la personne humaine au-delà de toutes ses appartenances.
Objectifs généraux
Le projet Jorsala entend :
- promouvoir un esprit ;
- être une source d’inspiration pour des actions individuelles et collectives ;
- mettre en lumière des initiatives portées par le même esprit.
