K2.0 has announced the second cycle of the Lokomotiva Program through which they offer a joint space for enthusiastic young people of all genders and backgrounds, who are willing to explore new ideas, and to constructively challenge established narratives around societal identities through multiple media tools and formats, including movies, blogging, music to name a few. K2.0 is inviting young, passionate change-makers to become part of a wonderful learning experience and the environment by responding to this call.
This hands-on learning opportunity seeks to encourage critical thinking and inspire activism related to the issues of gender, ethnicity, religion, and race. Most importantly, it aims to equip its members with the tools and means necessary to influence positive change. As such, this program entails a six-month, multifaceted and dynamic learning experience, during which, participants are provided with immense opportunities to explore new ideas, and a space to socialize, work, have fun with peers and act!
Lokomotiva 2.0 program is supported by the Prince Claus Fund.
Phases
Introduction
- This exciting journey begins with an online Bootcamp that will take place in September where all 30 selected participants and experienced facilitators will meet virtually for four days and will gain an understanding of both the program and one another and will acquire a general overview of the intersectionality of gender, ethnicity, religion, and race.
Capacity Building
- Throughout the second phase of these six months – four open discussions circling around the aforementioned themes will take place. Lokomotiva members will have the opportunity to meet and discuss movies, photography, music, and other media formats with prominent inspiring individuals that have had a meaningful impact on the way we perceive the world around us.
Community Initiatives and Interventions
- Having gone through all the creative talks and workshops, in this phase Lokomotiva members will be supported to design their own initiatives and by receiving seed funding to implement an intervention in their chosen areas, within their own communities.
