Background

You call it a Journey, I call it a Life Learning.. From all of the experiences that we have been through together, this sentence re-flects what the program was for us. Living amidst different languages, environments, personalities, cultures, backgrounds, dreams, and a new view of life gave us the opportunity for great self-development.

CANADA WORLD YOUTH Canada World Youth (CWY) is a Canadian non‐profit, non‐governmental

organization that provides exceptional nonformal learning opportunities to youth and com-

munities in Canada and in countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and East-

ern Europe. These programs enable youth to develop knowledge, skills and attitudes nec-

essary to enhance their employment opportunities, to become active and productive

leaders in their communities, and to work both internationally and cross‐culturally in an ef-

fective and ethical way.

CANADA WORLD YOUTH- MISSION

Canada World Youths mission is to increase the ability of people, especially youth,

to participate actively in the development of just, harmonious and sustainable societies.

CANADA WORLD YOUTH- OBJECTIVES

On a short-term basis, Canada World Youth's main objective is to allow young peo-

ple and community members to share an educational experience and training opportuni-

ties through which they increase their awareness and acquire knowledge related to local

and international development.

Based on the knowledge acquired through the CWY program, the long-term objective is to

encourage the young people and community members to participate more actively in

local and international development with respectful concern for the environment and in a

spirit of understanding between peoples. Specifically, these objectives are:

1. To create among participants from Canada and developing or transitional nations

an increased awareness, understanding and appreciation of the socioeconomic

and cultural realities of their own country.

2. To foster among participants a greater understanding of local and international de-

velopment as a basis for meaningful collaboration.

3. To instil in participants a sense of mutual responsibility and commitment to the resolu-

tion of social and economic problems.

4. To engender in participants the conviction that a person can contribute to develop-

ment by drawing upon their own resources and local tradition.

5. To foster among participants the understanding that they are members of an interde-

pendent world.

6. To promote among participants the acquisition of skills necessary for effective in-

volvement in development.

7. To encourage other countries to initiate programs similar to CWY.

8. To promote the continued involvement of families and communities in development

issues.

9. To foster networking among past participants to support their local and global in-

volvement.

KEMENEGPORA

Kemenegpora (Menpora) stands for Kementrian Negara Pemuda dan Olahraga. This

ministry of the Indonesian government is responsible for the development of youth and

sports in Indonesia. Their purpose is to organize, plan and conduct a variety of events involv-

ing youth. The Indonesia‐Canada Youth Exchange Program is viewed as one of the poten-

tial events that impact positively on the young generation. Since this program is not a formal

type of education, the Indonesian government puts this exchange under Menpora`s respon-

sibilities.

KEMENEGPORA-VISION

Indonesia envisions its youth having national dignity, intelligence, capability, creativity, com-

petitiveness and of noble faith.

KEMENEGPORA-OBJECTIVES

1. To develop and to make Indonesian’s youth as a social category in which they could de-

velop youth participation on national development to face globalization challenges

2. To enhance the role of youth organizations to enable empowerment of the youth

3. To broaden youth empowerment policies which will be used as the guidelines on youth

programs

4. To advance youth empowerment policies by strengthen coordination and synergy

among stakeholders

Education Activity Day (EAD)

Description : Education Activi-

ty Day is The day for coun-

terpart pair to present one

topic/issue for a hole day.

The topic can be anything

(local, globalization, environ-

ment, health, social, politics

and others). Usually EAD ac-

tivitiy held on Monday. To

make EAD more fun, some-

times the counterpart pair as

the facilitator create fun

activities during the EAD by

giving Energizer or games.

24

Games and Energizer

Mafia

Have a group of people around 10 or more. Enough people for each

of them to have an interesting character. Make people sit in circle and

hand them cards. Make sure they don't show their card to anyone. So eve-

ry card has a meaning. For example if you have a King, you are warewolf.

Queen (the little girl) which mean you can open your eyes and see who is

the warewolf and influence others when you vote.

You can also make up characters. Like a couple. If one of them

dies, the other person has to die too. A witch, you has the power to say

that whoever the warewolves decided to kill will not die.

Every night (make people close their eyes when the village goes to

bed, the warewolf open his/her eyes and kill someone. At sunrise, the

village wakes up and you tell them who died.

Then they want to seek revenge and they kill who they think is the

warewolf. It is important to make the story interesting ang bring people

against each other. The game is over when the warewolf is killed.

Pictionary and Broken Telephone Together

A game play by 8 people or 16 but it must be couple (8x2). Write

your name/team on lower of the page. Write the tittle of what you pick.

1st write, 2nd draw, 3rd write, 4th draw and so on until its done the

page. Have 30 seconds of timing and pass it to the right when time is

up.

The Question

Write questions, at least 3 for everyone that is going to be

there. Put all the question in big bowl. Make people choose 3 questions

each, give them time to answer them. Put all the questions back then

make people pick random question into bowl. Read out the answer loud.

Then guess who wrote it.
