It emphasizes the importance of listening to employee and customer feedback to understand how the brand is perceived in order to align communications and build trust between the organization, its employees, and customers. The consulting firm Vocii is introduced as helping organizations develop holistic branding strategies from the inside out through communication and collaboration across departments to bring clarity to the brand voice.

The document outlines 10 steps for volunteers to get recognition of their competences. The steps include committing to the recognition process, setting goals and targets, preparing a personal profile by reflecting on past experiences, choosing a standard to measure competences against, comparing competences to the standard, getting formal validation from an external institute, creating a development plan, implementing the plan, and continuing personal development. It also lists 10 ways organizations can support volunteers, such as providing training certificates, collecting feedback, documenting work products, gathering evidence of competences, offering portfolios, and making agreements for formal recognition with other institutes.
Positive deviance connecting youth with society conferenceHans Vannuffelen
This document discusses the Positive Deviance approach, which identifies solutions to community problems from uncommon but successful behaviors that already exist within the community. It outlines how a Positive Deviance inquiry works by establishing norms, uncovering successful strategies of "Positive Deviants", analyzing which strategies are accessible to all community members, and focusing on replicating the behaviors rather than knowledge. The document provides an example of ICDI's Positive Deviance project in the Netherlands in 2010 that aimed to support integration of youth from minority backgrounds through mainstream leisure activities. It shares quotes from interviews and discusses important notions and a proposed "action plan" using the Positive Deviance approach.
This document outlines an experiment conducted in the Netherlands from 1995-1996 involving peer consultation and policy improvement sessions between youth and policymakers. The goals were to generate necessary information, involve youth in the policymaking process, and create conditions for jointly improving policies and their implementation. Key aspects included all participants working together equally, a structured discussion process, and the use of trained process coaches to facilitate discussion and note-taking.
This document discusses strategies for youth engagement and social change, including a leadership training program and an Action Week toolkit. The leadership training involved group dynamics, project management, and understanding social issues. Several youth leaders went on to work in social sectors after the program. However, some motivated young leaders did not find their place in existing youth centers. The Action Week toolkit is an 8-step guide to help youth groups build skills through activities like groupbuilding, listening, choosing issues, learning, planning, taking action, and celebrating accomplishments. The document acknowledges influences from theories of youth organizing and critical pedagogy.
The document summarizes the Youth Prevention Project called Trammelant run by De Lijn, the public transport company in Antwerp, Belgium. The project aims to reduce conflicts between youth passengers and transport personnel and enhance mutual understanding. Key activities include classroom discussions to gain empathy for different perspectives, activities on a retrofitted "Trammelantbus" to educate youth, and youth teaching peers what they learned. The project has led to fewer reports of nuisance and increased respect between youth and personnel on public transportation.
The document summarizes findings from the International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) regarding active citizenship from an international European perspective. It examines dimensions of citizenship like civic knowledge, skills and willingness to participate in the political system, and democratic values across participating European countries. It also analyzes student participation in school and perceptions of school climate.
The document summarizes findings from the International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) conducted between 2006-2010 involving over 140,000 students from 38 countries. It compares students, teachers, and schools internationally on dimensions of citizenship like civic knowledge, attitudes towards democratic values, and expected participation. It finds that countries vary in how they rate the importance of conventional citizenship behaviors like voting versus social movement behaviors. Countries also differed in areas like civic knowledge, with Nordic countries scoring highest on average.
Social inclusion policies for young people in disadvantaged neighborhoods often lead to unintended social exclusion. Young men in these areas face heavy surveillance from police and social services due to safety issues. This causes distrust of authorities and a "culture of suspicion" where young men avoid activities to prevent arrest. While governments aim to create responsible citizens, policies often do not understand these young peoples' circumstances and perspectives, and view them as problems rather than helping them develop. True social inclusion requires understanding between all groups, stable community roles, and opportunities for youth rather than just control.
The document discusses connecting youth with society and the importance of meaningful participation and inclusion of children and young people. It summarizes the evolution of children's rights from an early focus on provision rights to increasing emphasis on protection rights and later the introduction of participation rights in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. While laws and structures are important, the speaker emphasizes that a change in attitudes is also needed to establish a culture where children are accepted as co-actors in dialogue about decisions affecting them rather than seen as "not yets." Realizing children's right to participation requires ongoing effort as complaints still show how young people's input is often not taken seriously.
