Ühiskonna Heaks (NYH) is promoting a call for participants
for a Youth Exchange called “Be active, be a citizen!” which
will take place in 25th
February until 07th March 2014 in Bakuriani, Georgia.
The
Youth Exchange “Be active, be a citizen!” aims at an introduction of young
participants to the field of youth empowerment and inclusion. The YE aims to
help youngsters to become active members of the society and improve their
capacities to organise and lead actions and projects targeting their own needs
and interests.
“Be
active, be a citizen!” will explore different possibilities of youth
participation and will set a platform to learn how young people can take an
active role at local and international level, in order to make their voice
heard regarding youth current challenges in their countries. Different tools
and approaches for active participation of young people and means of
influencing and creating youth policy on local, national and international
level will be core elements of the Youth Exchange. Last but not least, the
Youth Exchange shall contribute to develop the capacity of civil society
organisations and individuals working with and for young people to aggregate
their interests and needs on social reality and political agenda.
Participants
will also organize a street action in Bakuriani/Borjomi, in order to understand
their capacity to self-organize and perform actions by themselves, the process
behind them and to have a local impact in the community.
The
specific target group of the project is youth volunteering or working with
inclusion of marginalized groups, protection of Human Rights, volunteering
policies and programmes, democracy and election observation, employability and
education, etc.
The
event will be held in English. There are 5
vacancies available and participants should have minimum 18
years old until 25 years old.
