Interested in the International Mosaic Committee?
Stockholm – 1 July 2009
Per Olsson, IMC
The International Mosaic Committee is looking for motivated, committed and Mosaic-experienced people to work as trainees in the committee during the year 2009-2010. A trainee is a one-year opportunity to get to know the team and the work we do. This year we consider taking on as many as five new members of the team!
We offer a fun and inspiring year with one of the most productive teams in CISV International. We assure a challenging year with lots of potential in terms of leadership and organisational development. The position as trainee is a one-year position but depending on future committee plans there are good opportunities for a continuing position in the Mosaic team!
In this document we outline who we are and what we do as well as what we are looking for and what we want you to do in order to join our team. If you have any questions, my contact details are in the bottom of the document.
Best regards
/Per, Chair of the International Mosaic Committee!
The Mosaic Programme:
Mosaic is a project-based programme providing peace education, relevant to local communities worldwide. Each project is a separate experience that relates to a local need and interest and involves specific target groups. A Mosaic project empowers participants to take initiative in their community and creates a desire for active citizenship. The aim is to develop an intercultural competence of attitudes, knowledge and skills for an active citizenship in a multicultural society. Further, we create an authentic learning experience for participants and deliver a benefit to the wider community. Every year CISV hosts approximately 35 projects worldwide.
The International Mosaic Committee:
The International Mosaic Committee (IMC) draws its members from all across the world, from Canada to Colombia, from Austria to Australia, from Stockholm to San Jose. As well as being responsible for the strategic development of the programme we also provide support to all Mosaic projects taking place worldwide. We are a team of dedicated volunteers, convinced that peace education is most efficient when targeting the values of the local community.
Our challenges and long term goals:
* The first has to do with the stability of the programme; by 2012, every chapter should have a reliable contact person, the support should be perfect and our network of trainers and coordinators should do most of the support and are highly involved in the approval process. We aim at 50 projects a year with zero withdrawals and non-approved. For this we need a stronger focus on regional support and increased capacity to work with chapter contacts.
* The second has to do with training and education; by 2010 we have three regional trainings a year and our training strategy and our educational curriculum is totally inline with CISV as a whole. We have a network of trainers that are involved in evaluating and developing our materials and curriculum. We have also said that at least 70% of the projects involve participants from outside CISV and 75% of our projects are benefiting by working with other organisations. For this we need to work more on both input and output in training and education.
* The third challenge is regarding our profile. We have said that we want a magazine that is communicating the programme’s output. Mosaic output has a profile in communities and Project Coordinators should be recognised as professional educational managers. This will lead us to a situation where the Mosaic Programme Development is fully funded by external resources. For this we need to closely follow the developments in the organisation but also be in the forefront of new techniques and ideas. IMC have launched the Mosaic Storytelling project but we need more work here.
What we are looking for:
We think that you, who are interested in working with the International Mosaic Committee would identify yourself with all or most of the bullet points below;
* have experience in the Mosaic Programme, preferably as a project coordinator
* have an interest and experience in the field of formal or non-formal education
* have experience where you developed something from take-off to landing
* are a good communicator who is able to network and develop contacts
* are result-oriented
* live in any part of the world
* have basic knowledge of the English language
* are open minded
* are willing to commit at least ten hours per month to the committee
