Before you arrive at the World Scout Moot you are expected to do
a little homework.
There will be a three-part online training course you should complete before
arriving in Iceland for the Moot. Note that the Safe from Harm course is
compulsory, i.e. you must complete it prior to your arrival in Iceland. The other
two are optional, although we strongly encourage you to complete them as
well:
Safe from Harm: The Safe from Harm (SfH) course is intended to ensure
that the World Scout Moot is an abuse-free environment. All members of the
IST as well as heads of contingents and Moot planning team members must
complete the SfH training prior to arrival.
The SfH course addresses the types of abuse that can occur at a large event
like the Moot, as well as aspects of the culture of the host country. You will
be able to start the course in May. An email with instructions and a link to the
course will be e-mailed to you at a later date. Upon completing the course you
will receive a certificate of completion.
Online trainingPlease remember to bring a printed copy of the certificate with you as you
must produce it during registration in Iceland. Failure to produce the certifi-
cate will result in you having to complete the course again on-site as a part of
the registration process.
How to Survive in Iceland: This includes practical information on the
climate and weather in Iceland, its nature, as well as other things that may
be useful during the Moot. Information on these may be found on the Moot
website http://worldscoutmoot.is/training where you will find videos,
and links to more information.
Cultural awareness: Please go to http://worldscoutmoot.is/training,
where you will find an online training game about intercultural learning,
project management and self assessment. This was developed in a partner-
ship between the Roverway 2016 and Moot 2017 organizers, the European
Region of WOSM and CISV International, with the support of the European
Union’s Erasmus program.
Get Ready Online helps you to prepare for your youth exchange.
Complete the e-learning modules beforehand and be ready to make
the best out of your youth exchange.
