Time for Tea is an educational activity which uses tea to give young people a voice. It encourages global learning, creative thinking and social action. It is simple, fun and accessible to people of any age, background, ability or location.Recent events such as Greta Thunberg’s school strikes have shown how necessary it is to find new and smarter ways to allow young people to speak out and take action on issues that matter to them, and to create a dialogue between them and older generation decision makers. This is what Time for Tea does. Any teacher, youth worker or other motivated person can lead a Time for Tea project, with a group of any age, in or out of the classroom.We use the medium of tea because:- Tea brings people together. It is enjoyed in different cultures all round the world.- When busy people have a cup of tea, they stop and relax for a moment – the perfect time to listen and think.- The medium of tea allows young people to initiate dialogue with decision makers in a way that is engaging and non-confrontational.During the past 3 years with support from Erasmus+ (KA1 and KA2) Momentum World has developed this innovative non-formal learning and youth advocacy methodology in 20 European and neighbouring partner countries. The results and ongoing activities of the pilot projects can be seen on our website www.time4tea.info.Through this new capacity building project we will expand Time for Tea into 3 Asian countries (India, Philippines and Thailand) thereby introducing our partners to new non-formal education approaches, launching testing and implementing innovative youth work practices, and enhancing the socio-professional development of youth workers and trainers. The project embodies the four key principles of youth work: education, participation, empowerment and inclusion. Furthermore because Time for Tea local activities are often based in schools as well as youth groups, the project will promote the use and value of non-formal learning and enhance synergies and complementarities with the formal education system in each country. This has already had a significant impact in the European pilot projects.Although this is a capacity building project aimed at countries in Asia, we also envisage significant mutual benefit. We will learn from our Asian partners about youth work practice in different cultural contexts, adapt our methodology as appropriate, and so take a significant step towards our ambition of building a sustainable global programme.The European partners have all worked together on many previous projects including Time for Tea. The Asian partners have previously worked with Joint (Italy).The project will run for 2 years and include youth worker training, local projects, multiplier and dissemination events, and a final youth exchange empowering young people to present results to the wider world. We will also use our Virtual Teahouse to enable online exchanges and meetings, thus reducing carbon impact.
