Call for Participants: The Academy 2020

The European Regions of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) and the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) is pleased to launch the present Call for Participants for The Academy 2020, which is scheduled to be held online, from 4 to 8 November 2020.

What is The Academy?
The Academy is a unique Scout and Guide event designed to provide participants with high quality training and networking opportunities around the core priorities of WAGGGS and WOSM European Regions.

Who should attend The Academy?
The event is open to everyone holding a position at National or Regional level in any of our Associations, from members of particular working groups to Chief Commissioners. We would encourage you to consider your priorities and how you can utilize the Academy to focus in different areas.

What are the topics at The Academy?
The Academy is designed to provide participants the opportunity to choose their learning path according to their personal and organisation’s needs. To help you already start considering these needs, the main themes of this year’s Academy can be seen below;
– Impact & Influence
– Diverse members & Inclusive Opportunities
– Growth

During the event, participants will be able to choose learning pathways compiled from a variety of live sessions and complemented with extra self lead learning sessions, peer groups and topic specific discussion space. We would like to encourage participants to choose from a variety of sessions per day (ideally from the same of similar pathways), composing their own training plan to match their position and particular needs. A broad range of sessions dealing with different areas of work will be offered simultaneously, with enough on offer to make the event interesting for everyone.

A learning path description of the programme is here and a more detailed description will be published on the website of The Academy no later than 1 October 2020.
