這項志工培訓適合哪些人？

本培訓適用於現有的 GNA志工和希望加入GNA行列的新志工，只要你期許自己成為積極組織、解決臺灣和東南亞地區（尤其是緬甸）具有挑戰性人權問題的社群一員。

我們強烈建議參加此次志工培訓的申請人能夠承諾至少6個月的服務時間。這段時間可以讓志工完全融入計畫當中，獲得全面的知識與技能，並為青年變革者專案做出有意義的貢獻。在這個期限內，志工可以最大限度地發揮影響力，並成為我們社群推動計畫中不可或缺的一員。

我能從這次培訓中獲得什麼？

• 清楚瞭解 GNA 的使命以及您作為志工的價值
• 瞭解您所在的工作小組的職責，以及您如何利用自己的技能為特定社會議題帶來積極的改變
• 瞭解緬甸正在發生的事情，以及像您這樣的青年如何動員起來提供支持
• 與具有不同語言、文化和教育背景的未來夥伴建立聯繫

為什麼在GNA當志工？

• 具影響力的行動：您能加入一個有機社群，致力於為臺灣和東南亞青年培養韌性、團結，以及提供機會
• 網絡和社群：您能與志同道合的人、專家，和熱衷於人權事業的良師益友建立聯繫
• 發展技能：您能培養溝通和團隊合作技能，同時帶來實際的改變

在 GNA 當志工有什麼好處？

• GNA 可為志工提供求學或求職推薦信
• GNA 可為志工提供志工服務證書
• GNA 將邀請志工參與非政府組織活動和各種人權相關活動

本次培訓主要針對哪些志工服務機會和類別？

對擁有不同興趣和技能的志工，我們提供一系列不同機會。我們將志工機會劃分為不同的工作小組，幫助青年相互合作、相互支持。

請參閱以下各組介紹：

• 媒體監測和 GNA週報：研究和瞭解東南亞緊迫的人權議題，並向 GNA 社群提供重要的每週新聞。與您的隊友一起為GNA的核心專案發行週報。
• 社群媒體、研究和文章：製作引人入勝的社群媒體和網站內容，提高人們對東南亞人權議題的認識。
• 教育、文化和社群建設活動：為臺灣人和東南亞人舉辦活動，建立草根參與知識，並提供文化交流和區域團結的平臺。

 為什麼選擇緬甸作為計畫重心？

臺灣是超過 40,000 名緬甸人和緬甸移民的家園，其中一部分人是因母國的經濟和政治動盪而逃離緬甸。當他們在臺灣安身立命後，其中許多人動員起來協助他們在緬甸的同胞，支持他們對抗2021 年 2 月 1 日發動政變的緬甸軍方。GNA 的新計畫旨在為我們的青年變革者提供一個平臺，讓他們參與草根行動，深入瞭解區域的關鍵議題，並為緬甸行動者和生活在臺灣的緬甸青年提供支持。

Who is this training suitable for?

This training is for existing GNA volunteers and new volunteer recruits who wish to be part of a community that actively organises to tackle challenging human rights issues across Taiwan and Southeast Asia, with a particular focus on Myanmar.

We highly recommend that applicants for this volunteer training are able to commit to a minimum of 6 months of volunteering. This duration allows volunteers to fully immerse themselves in the project, gain comprehensive knowledge and skills, and contribute meaningfully to the youth changemaker program. By committing to this timeframe, volunteers can maximise their impact and become integral members of our community-driven initiative. 

What can I gain from this training?

• Obtain a clear understanding of GNA’s mission and your value as a volunteer.
• Understand the responsibilities of your working group and how you can use your skills for positive change on specific social issues. 
• Learn about what is happening in Myanmar and how young individuals like yourself can mobilise to support. 
• Connect with your future comrades with diverse linguistic, cultural and educational backgrounds.
  

Why Volunteer with GNA?

• Impactful Initiatives: Join an organic community dedicated to fostering resilience, solidarity and opportunities for Taiwanese and Southeast Asian youth.
• Network and Community: Connect with like-minded individuals, experts, and mentors passionate about human rights.
• Skill Development: Develop communication and teamwork skills while making a tangible difference.

What are the benefits of volunteering with GNA?

• GNA can provide volunteers recommendation letters for academic or professional endeavours.
• GNA can provide volunteers with a certificate of their volunteering achievements.
• GNA invites volunteers to attend NGO events and human rights related activities.

What volunteer opportunities and categories will this training be focused on?

We have a range of volunteer opportunities available to suit various interests and skills. We have divided our volunteer opportunities up into working groups to help youth work together and support each other.

Please see below the introduction to each group:

• Media Monitoring and GNA Weekly: Researching and keeping up to date with pressing human rights issues in Southeast Asia and presenting important weekly news to GNA’s community. Issuing GNA Weekly with your teammates for the core project of GNA.
• Social Media, Research and Articles: Raising awareness of Southeast Asia’s human rights issues by producing engaging social media and website content.
• Educational, Cultural and Community Building Events: Organising events for Taiwanese and Southeast Asians to build knowledge on grassroots engagement and provide a platform for cultural exchange and regional solidarity.

Why Myanmar?

Taiwan is home to over 40,000 Burmese and immigrants from Myanmar, a part of whom have fled Myanmar due to economic and political unrest in their home country. As they find safety in Taiwan, many among them are mobilising efforts to support their compatriots in Myanmar, aiding in the fight against the military junta who launched a coup on 1 February, 2021. GNA’s new project seeks to provide a platform for our youth changemakers to engage in grassroots initiatives, gain insights into critical regional issues, and lend support to Burmese activists and youth living in Taiwan.
