SUMMARY:Peer-to-Peer Exchange Programme (Call for applications)
DESCRIPTION:About peer-to-peer exchange programme\nAt GEF\, we seek to encourage cross-border cooperation and exchanges and aim at bridging the gap between activism at the national level and the decisions that are being made at the European level by coordinating a lively network of Green foundations\, NGOs\, youth organisations and activists. \nIn our strategic meetings of June 2019 and January 2020\, our network has been involved in a participatory process of defining their greatest needs and role for GEF as a platform to discuss Europe’s shared challenges\, by bringing diverse actors together. \nIn this context\, a vision for GEF’s capacity building programme was developed\, and part of this mission is for GEF to become a hub for inspiration\, guidance and support for European\, national and regional green actors. \nThe proposed GEF Peer-to-Peer Exchange Programme is part of GEF’s capacity building programme and aims to provide a dedicated space for our network of Green foundations\, NGOs\, youth organisations and activists to engage in inspiring\, targeted interactions that will strengthen their work and ultimately their impact. \nThe GEF Peer-to-Peer Exchange Programme will: \n\nSupport the green network across Europe to mainstream discussions on European policies in national\, regional and local contexts and to co-create a common green vision for Europe.\nStrengthen GEF’s members’ and partners’ capacities to contribute to GEF’s pan-European work programme.\n\nApplicant’s eligibility\nThe GEF Peer-to-Peer Exchange Programme targets national green foundations and equivalent green organisations\, NGOs and activists that are members of the Green European Foundation or are partners in GEF decentralised projects to provide them the opportunity for mutual exchange and learning on topics or competences of their interest and in direct support to the work they undertake with the Green European Foundation. \nThe programme\nThe programme offers support from GEF for its members and partners to participate in a learning/capacity building exchange with another/other organisation(s). We envisage that all participating organisations will benefit from the mutual learning of such an exchange\, which can be on content-related topics\, as well as organisational issues\, such as how to motivate volunteers\, how to develop a media outreach campaign\, etc. \nDue to the current Covid-19 pandemic\, the programme is to be implemented online until further notice and submitted proposals should therefore be possible to implement through online formats\, such as webinars\, etc. The programme can later be transformed into a face-to-face scheme\, including study visits or job shadowing\, with corresponding travel reimbursement support by GEF. \nCriteria and eligibility\n\nAll GEF members as well as GEF partners who are currently partners in a GEF decentralised project can submit an application to participate in the programme.\nA learning exchange can take place between minimum 2 to 4 organisations. While more organisations can apply for one common exchange programme\, the focus is on ensuring that the needs of all organisations are fully taken into account.\nInterested organisations are asked to fill in a joint application\, elaborating on how the exchange will benefit the work the applicant organisations do with GEF in the context of decentralised projects\, as well as indicating how the exchange will strengthen the European dimension of GEF projects. The European dimension of the exchange can be ensured for instance by connecting the learning and sharing process to transnational projects. Another focus of the exchange could be a topic of relevance on the European level or a chosen European policy area.\nGEF partners can also apply in accordance to their needs without having found (a) suitable exchange partner(s) and ask GEF for support in finding peer organisations.\nApplicants agree to fulfil the reporting requirements for the Peer-to-Peer Exchange Programme by completing an evaluation and budgetary report within 30 days of completing the programme[1].\nPartners of selected applications agree to participate in a common kick off meeting online to formulate general objectives of the programme\, exchange on the different training sessions taking place as well as to address any possible open questions.\nOne partner can participate in maximum 2 exchanges per calendar year.\n\nFinancial conditions\n\nGEF will cover costs related to:\n\nhuman resources of maximum 2 working days of training sessions for all participating organisations;\ntravel\, accommodation and catering (nota bene! The exchanges are envisaged to take place online at least until 15 June 2020);\nmaterials necessary for implementing the exchange.\n\n\nReporting to GEF following a prior agreement on the budget and in line with the GEF Guidebook for Project Implementation.\nParticipating partners and members will submit a financial contribution to GEF of maximum 15% of the programme costs. Organisations with no revenue will have the possibility to provide smaller financial contributions to GEF\, which will be discussed and agreed on a case-by-case basis.\n\nHow to apply\n\nApplications can be submitted on an ongoing basis by filling in the application form online.\nApplications shall be submitted at least 1 month before the envisaged date for the exchange.\n\nSelection process\n\nPartners shall receive an answer to their application within 2 weeks of submitting it\, and the decision will be made with the involvement of GEF staff and dedicated Board members who are following GEF’s capacity-building programme development.\n\nFor any questions\, please get in touch with mariana.batista@gef.eu. \n

SUMMARY:Call for Illustrators
DESCRIPTION:Background\nThe Green European Foundation (GEF) is a European level political foundation. It is linked to\, but independent of\, other European Green actors such as the European Green Party and the Green Group in the European Parliament. Modelled on many successful national green political foundations\, GEF works to encourage European citizens to participate in European political discussions and to ultimately forge a stronger\, more participative European democracy. Read more: www.gef.eu \nAbout Green Learning\nAn important element of our annual work programme is the GEF online learning platform (currently www.gef-learning.eu)\, where we make available interactive and innovative e-courses on Green topics.  In 2018\, we expanded the scope of the platform to accommodate more diverse types of courses\, organisations and audiences. \nBesides expanding the content available on the e-learning platform\, we decided to create a landing page – green learning – a website\, which tells the story behind our e-learning programme\, invites participants to sign-up (which they can do directly from the landing page) and invites other organisations to collaborate with us. \nWhat we need\nOne of the challenges we are facing is to keep the both our landing page and the e-learning environment clean\, easy to navigate and consistent. We therefore intend to introduce an additional element to our brand identity\, which will tie the landing page Green Learning (in production)\, e-learning platform and various courses together. \nWe are looking for a skilled illustrator\, who will not only deliver the main illustration available on Green Learning\, but also offer a long-term vision to help us fulfill the following objectives: \n\nto support us in elevating the brand presence\, prominence and recognition\nto support us in reinforce our image as a credible and cohesive brand\n\nTarget audience\nOur primary target groups:  \n\nEuropean citizens involved in the green parties\, youth organisations\, foundations\, etc.\nEuropean citizens not yet involved in green organisations but interested in green topics.\n\nOur secondary target groups:               \n\nEducational institutions (high schools/universities) and educators\nGreen NGOs not necessarily affiliated to the political movement\n\nDemographics\nOur learners are predominantly European and represent diverse national\, ethnic and racial groups. The courses attracted almost equal number of learners identified as female and male. Our attitude surveys show that our learners tend to be socially active and politically progressive. The age of our learners varies between 15 and 60 (with vast majority between 20 – 40). \nCreative direction\nWe welcome different creative styles as long as it’s not in conflict with the brand identity of the Green European Foundation. The illustrations need to be built around and reflect the demographics of the platform and the following principles: \n\nGreen Learning serves the purpose of educating people on green topics\nGreen Learning helps learners to connect with other like-minded people and create a community\nGreen Learning empowers learners to take action\nGreen Learning hosts e-courses that are informative\, interactive and were developed with real humans in mind.\n\nDeliverables\n\nA short vision statement for the illustration\n1 illustrated web banner\nA short visual concept for the interface of gef-learning.eu\n\nPurpose and function\nThe signature web banner will be permanently displayed on the Green Learning home page. Additional illustrations will be displayed on the home page and the online learning platform. \nThe illustrations will also be used as social media and print content for promotional purposes. \nFormat\n\nThe illustration should be designed for web\, 16:9 ratio\, in high resolution jpeg/png format.\nIndividual characters of the illustration should be delivered as vector files.\n\nAttachments\nPlease\, refer to the attachments for further details regarding the placement of the illustration and margins. We also recommend to take a look at the platform (www.gef-learning.eu) and Impact Europe course to get an idea of the type of content we produce. \nReview date/s:\nAdditional briefing – October 17 \nMidterm feedback – October 22 \nFinal submission – October 26 \n The period covers research and sketching\, refining and finalising the deliverables. \nBudget\n1200 euro\, VAT included \nSelection and future cooperation\nThe final decision will be made based on your previous line of work and a basic sketch of the two main deliverables. The continuation of cooperation on this project is expected\, yet not guaranteed. \nInterested illustrators are invited to submit their main idea + sketch and a link to their portfolio to gio.megrelishvili@gef.eu. Deadline: 10 October. \n
