Andover Trees United

Growing a Wood - Growing Community - Growing Knowledge and Understanding 10 years - 10,000 children - 10,000 trees This is a conservation project that has its eye set firmly on the need for future environmental stewardship. Planetary conservation and protection of biodiversity needs more champions than ever before and the young people in our society are the decision-makers of tomorrow. With a growing disconnect between young people in urban communities and the natural environment, it is more important than ever before to put them at the heart of environmental projects. We have formed a COMMUNITY of 25 local schools, youth groups, volunteers and businesses working in partnership together and with specialist environmental organisations. Our aim over the decade 2012-2021 is to involve every young person in our community in creating new woodland, somewhere to relax, to enjoy, to learn. Once the 12-acre wood is complete, tree planting will continue through partnerships with local landowners as we plant outwards from Harmony Woods creating green corridors that link to nearby woodland and copses. We offer regular volunteering in nature for all irrespective of age or ability and offer training in green crafts, including coppicing, constantly striving to grow the volunteer base both in numbers and capacity. The first 5 years were spent establishing the project; the second 5 years is about realising its potential, a major part of which is to support 6 of our 25 schools to develop programmes of outdoor learning linked to arts and science and based on the wood that their students are helping to plant. We are currently fundraising to employ an education officer, fund outdoor learning programmes led by local artists and convert a pair of steel containers into an off-grid woodland 'Cabin', an all-seasons base for volunteers and a teaching space for all, connecting people to nature and local heritage.

STORE SCHOOLS & PROJECTS C.I.C.

STORE is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company run as an association of designers, architects and artists who share a common goal: supporting more young people from disadvantaged backgrounds applying to creative courses, and addressing the social imbalance in art, design and architecture education. STORE STORE is our design shop and workshop space in Camden and Hackney. STORE offers an extensive portfolio of offerings for young people in London: STORE STORE after school club: The free art, design and architecture After School Clubs give young people from state schools in London, with priority given to pupil premium students, a unique chance to see their ideas go from imagination to reality, from initial concept through to design, prototype, manufacture and retail. The objects designed and prototyped in the After School Club are showcased in the shop, with royalties going to the students. We have run workshops in glass blowing, 3D printing, mycelium, milk plastic, bio plastics, pattern cutting and ceramics. These after school clubs help to supplement a students portfolio for university applications. Online after school club: Our free online After School Club program allows state school students across the country to take part, with maker kits sent out to each student. Last year we ran After School Clubs in digital animation, chocolate casting, 3D scanning, game design, augmented reality and Arduino coding and an architectural reading group in Minecraft. One day workshops in State schools: The free One Day Workshop program is a series of workshops run in state schools aimed at introducing young people to higher education in design and architecture. A series of technical manuals are compiled to accompany the program as documentation the students can use at university interviews while also acting as recipes for teachers and students to replicate the processes explored in the workshops. 2 week long architectural summer schools: Our free summer schools are collaborative design and construction projects which engage actively with the dynamics of the local communities they take place in. Our summer schools programs are open to state school students across the country. Portfolio preparation workshops: Every winter break we run portfolio preparation workshops for young people who are considering applying to university. We bring in tutors from universities and the admissions process to support students with compiling their portfolios and to give them advice about the different universities and courses that are available to them. STORE STORE Build: STORE STORE Build is a small-scale building project, run as an educational program, where the students taught have an active role in the delivery of the architectural project - from the planning and design phases to the actual construction of a building, all through a program of after school clubs over five years. This is a project that looks to up-skill a generation of Hackney's young people about their built environment, giving them a voice in how their communities are designed and built.

World Federation of the Deaf

he World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) is an international non-governmental organisation representing and promoting approximately 70 million deaf people's human rights worldwide. The WFD is a federation of deaf organisations from 134 nations; its mission is to promote the human rights of deaf people and full, quality and equal access to all spheres of life, including self-determination, sign language, education, employment and community life. WFD has a consultative status in the United Nations and is a founding member of International Disability Alliance (IDA). At its recent World Congress in Jeju, South Korea, WFD members (136) approved the WFD strategic direction 2023-2030 and Action Plan 2023-2027. Important themes are covered in these 2 documents which strive to ensure that we create access for all deaf people to all ways of life in "a world where deaf people everywhere can sign anywhere" (vision). Furthermore, our mission is to work towards the full realisation of linguistic rights and human rights in all areas of life, with full recognition and implementation of these rights across local, national and international levels. To realise our mission and vision, the following are part of our Action Plan 2023-2027: Building Capacity across the Globe: ensuring increased participation of women, youth and underrepresented communities; provide effective capacity building projects to countries who are not yet members to assist them with creating their own national deaf associations so that they can represent themselves in their countries; Putting Deaf people on the Agenda: the WFD will continue to strive to put deaf human rights at the forefront of all representation internationally, including at the UN; we will effectively promote International Week of Deaf people and be ready to response to deaf people's needs in times of crises, disasters and war. Realising nothing about us without us: the WFD continues to be the leading authority for deaf people and sign languages and has committed to developing resources to assist deaf people raise awareness in their countries. Achieving Sign Language Rights for all: National sign languages are fundamental to achieving deaf people's human rights. We will aim to assist our member states in promoting the legal recognition of signed language in the country and advocate for early childhood language acquisition and inclusive multilingual education policies. Investing in a strong and sustainable organisation: to carry out our mission and vision we need greater investment in our secretariat and regional secretariat, expand our donor base, increase visibility and fundraising activities so that our organisation can carry on its important global work.
