“Faith Shorts”, the Tony Blair Faith Foundation’s global film competition has opened for entries.

Faith Shorts 2011 gives young people between the ages of 14 and 18 the opportunity to express what their faith means to them in their own words and take this to the global stage by winning the chance to see their film premiered at a ceremony at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA).


You can find all the details of the competition at www.faithshorts.org.uk or watch the film below.

We would greatly appreciate it if you might be able to forward the information about the Faith Shorts competition to your network both in the UK and across the globe and have attached a poster and press release to this email.

Judges:



The films will be judged by a high profile panel including Tony Blair. Hollywood stars Hugh Jackman and Jet Li, Bollywood star Anil Kapoor, Oscar winning producer Nik Powell and Lord Puttnam, former FOX studio President Sherry Lansing, Deepak Verma of Pukkanasha films, religious leaders including Rabbi David Rosen and the Grand Mufti of Bosnia and many more.

So what is Faith Shorts 2011 looking for?

We are looking for films from young people about how their faith or beliefs inspire them. Find out more about the competition’s three categories in the attached poster or on our website.

The competition is designed to be as accessible as possible and if young people don’t have access to film making equipment they can win a portable video camera at www.faithshorts.org.uk.

The winners of Faith Shorts 2011 will win an all-expenses paid trip to London with their parent or guardian to accept their awards at BAFTA. The winners will be taken on a personal tour of the National Film and Television School by the school’s director, Oscar-winning producer and Faith Shorts judge, Nik Powell and attend a film workshop in Manchester. The overall winner will have the opportunity to make an edit a film with a professional crew.

Last year’s competition:

Last year we were overwhelmed by the inspirational entries we received from around the world. They came from five continents and from Sikh, Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Jewish and Humanist backgrounds. The winners ranged from a young girl in Jordan finding forgiveness after terrorist attacks in her country to an American inspired by the solace and resolve faith offered his mother and best friend in difficult times.

Closing date:

Seminar in Poland „Third Generation E ncounter” Tamar

TaMaR Poland
Pl. Bankowy 2/1914
00-095 Warszawa
Seminar „Third Generation E ncounter”

Project description
Warsaw, Poland
28.04 – 01.05

Seminar overview
The seminar is a pilot project of TaMaR Poland focused on expanding the Jewish
educational programming and community development schemes. Its target group is Jewish young adults 18-35 – visiting from abroad and those based in Poland. The seminar seeks to facilitate an encounter of the visiting groups with the Polish Jewish community in a setting that allows for a meaningful learning experience to take place. The programme creates an opportunity to learn from various educators and individuals working in Poland. Both the formal and the informal encounter will enable the participants to learn about the contemporary Polish society and its Jewish community. The polish participants, on the other hand, will benefit from taking on a role of a host community. Lastly, we are aiming to create a
framework of Jewish learning that resonates with and empowers the needs of young adults.
Seminar Mission Statement
 To enhance Jewish educational programming focused on the Holocaust by employing
educators working in Poland
 To facilitate an encounter of the visiting groups with the Polish Jewish community and foster networking opportunities
 To enable participants to take part in Holocaust commemoration ceremonies (Yom
HaShoah and March of the Living) outside of an institutional framework
Seminar structure
The seminar is scheduled to take place on the 28.04 – 01.05 in Warsaw and is
constructed as an alternative to a delegation-type trip. It aims to expose participants to the complexities surrounding history, Shoah memory and the building of personal identity. It directly seeks to move away from binary narratives of Jewish history and identity built on the 1 fear of “the other.” A distinguishable feature of the seminar will be learning, among other,from educators (by this we mean rabbis, professors, researchers, writers, activists, etc.) based in Poland. Furthermore, there will also be space for presentations and activities of the Polish
young adults, represented by both TaMaR activists and the MiNYanim group (Sochnut
organized leadership training for young adults from across Poland). Being a TaMaR
organized seminar we seek to, above all, give voice to and empower Jewish young adults within the bigger Jewish community framework. The seminar will end the day before Yom HaShoa Day and the March of the Living and will give the participants a chance to take part in and experience those ceremonies intimately, outside of an institutional framework. However TaMaR Poland will offer help with the making of the necessary arrangements.
Seminar agenda
The seminar will commence late afternoon on a Thursday 28th April with an informal
icebreaking and a movie screening. The following morning on Friday 29th April, we will travel to Treblinka Concentration Camp and return to the hotel in time to prepare for a Kabbalat Shabbat service. On Saturday we will begin the day with a discussion panel, hosting young adults. This will be followed by four block of study sessions. Each study block will have an option of 3 - 4 different workshops to choose from. They will take a format of either a lecture, presentation, movie followed with a discussion or a creative workshop. The day will be concluded with a socializing event after we’ve done Havdala. On Sunday we will have one more session and will shortly leave for a tour of Jewish Warsaw. The seminar will end there.
Focus of the educational content of the seminar
The four Saturday study blocks will each focus on the following areas of study –
1. Post-Shoah culture and education
2. Jewish history in Poland pre 1989 (incl. pre-war, Shoah, Communism)
3. Israel-Diaspora connection (identity, culture, community relations, etc.)
4. Contemporary Polish Jewish community (post 1989) –
· presentations and activities prepared by the MiNYanim group
· conversations on the sofa with the rabbis working in Poland

Summer School in Lwów for polish speaking people and Open University of Shalom Fundation

report Istambul 2011

Ok so I ma finally back in Krakow.

Conference was done very well from organization side. Ofcourse as usual on such meetings some workshops were late but in general everything was reconsider and on high level.
I am glad that I had oportunity to meet people from European Council, speak with them about general contemporary problems which we weight up during our classes and workshops.

Mostly we spoke about the role of NGO'S in contemoprary issues wit multiculturalism. I asked the question about dominant and marginal discurse which I find very crucial in NGO's work that have to conform with guidelines given by EU. I didn't get the clear answer on that but mostly people agree with question also finding it important.

During my group wokshops I with my group realized that Europe is not prepared to tackle the challange of migration and new different cultures because of lack of these components in our historical background.

We think that needs are:

more open communication- getting to know each other in terms of cultures
exposure to education- especiall kids in low age. First it should start from unformal aeduction and then to formal, muliculturalism as a legal part of education through legislations)
Living with different cultures
Monitoring of situation in Europe- we should know where, when and who comes to Europe, what are he needs of those people? Where they leave, what is their educational process....

Future Projects:

Preschool education not only for kids but also parents. We should teach about multicultural sensitivity.

Parents should know how to establish NGO, start projects that would become part of the system
New Platforms of communication
Secial institution with lawyers that would give feeling of security
Media- space for marginal discurs of minorities , more objective media sources
Security of social media? How to do that?
Tools:

Educational meetings
Train Leaders
Platform of communication
Business community involvement
Public Discussion in media
Partnering: barter cooperation between media and local community

I also have found some time to see the city. It is huge and astonishing! I just saw city center with mosques. Unfortunately I couldn;t go in because of late hours. I had opportunity to go into Blue Mosque which is absolutely superb.

We also had a lunch on a boat. For four hours we were sailing but for me it wad definitely to much! Two hours would be enough especially that on the boat was cold and I a lot of people wanted to have just a walk around the city.

Thanks to organisers for invitation and custody thru all conference.

Please ask questions If you are inerested in details
