Youth Awareness Trainer And Coordinator

We are recruiting a part-time Trainer and Coordinator for our Youth Awareness Program. ARM has been conducting awareness-raising sessions in schools and universities for the past few years. This year, we plan to have increased presence in schools and universities through frequent interactive awareness sessions on diversity and anti-discrimination, with a focus on the lives and cultures of migrant workers in Lebanon. These sessions will be led by the trained migrant workers, with the trainer's support. We seek to hire a trainer/coordinator for a 6-month term. The recruit will be responsible for: - Training a group of migrant workers (mostly women domestic workers) on public speaking, debate skills, and related skills, to prepare them to hold sessions in school and university classrooms. - Organizing information sessions (to be led by appropriate experts) that will give trained migrant workers necessary information to speak and answer questions confidence.  - Leading on initial classroom sessions, and gradually handing over leadership to the trained migrant workers. The trainer will be expected to attend and assist the migrant workers in the sessions they hold. The sessions will take place on weekdays, and there will be approximately 40-60 throughout the 6 months. - Evaluating performance and giving feedback and guidance for improvement.  - Assisting ARM and MCC in developing toolkits to be used with different age groups (8 to 18) in the classrooms. They will include elements such as: handouts, information leaflets, modules, homework, thought experiments, etc. Interested candidates with the required competencies and experience are requested to send a CV & Cover Letter to antiracismlb@gmail.com before December 11, 2016 (subject line: Youth Awareness Program Trainer and Coordinator).

Together we work on documenting, investigating, exposing and fighting racist practices through multiple initiatives and campaigns. Our current efforts are mainly targeted towards discriminatory and exploitative practices, against migrant workers specifically. The Migrant Community Centers (MCCs) are currently ARM’s largest project. Established in Beirut in 2011, in Saida in early 2016, and in Jounieh in late 2016, the MCCs are free and safe spaces tailored to migrant workers and evolving according to their needs, where they can meet, learn new skills, work together, and access information, resources and assistance. Since their creation, they have been offering free classes and other educational, social, and capacity-building activities, such as language classes, ICT classes, health awareness sessions, rights education, advocacy training, cultural exchange events, social gatherings, and various national holiday celebrations. The MCCs also serve as a hub where initiatives are launched, a space to have celebrations and get-togethers, and a casual space for migrant workers to spend time with each other.
