Noored Ühiskonna Heaks (NYH) is promoting a call for participants for a Youth Exchange named YAGO - Youth
Activism Generates Opportunity which will
take place from 10th until 18st January 2017
in Thessaloniki - Greece.
YAGO (Youth
Activism Generates Opportunity) is a youth exchange born with the objective to
motivate and to support the youngsters to be involved in the social community
through the activism in all its form (social- activism, e-activism etc.) in a
national and international context. Promote the Active Citizenship and to fight
the juvenile apathy is extremely important especially because some participants
are Refugees, Migrants, belong in a Minority Culture and came from condition of
Geographical disadvantage. Through the activities of this youth exchange, which
will be based on non-formal education, the participants will learn skills and
competences that they will use in their daily life (work life, university life,
free time). In this way we will create an “activism domino” - they will share
their personal experience and skills to their peers that who in turn will be
encouraged to do the same.
The youth exchange
has following objectives:
-
To increase the knowledge of the key concepts
about the social activism and the volunteerism;
-
To explain the different ways of activism
(social, e-participation and civic participation)and the “different level” of
the activism (local, national, international and European represented by the
EVS opportunity);
-
To introduce the social rights in the civic
societies;
-
To discuss about the youth activism in the
partners countries discovering new ideas;
-
To spread ideas about how support the youth
initiative and action;
-
To share the challenges and the difficulty
about the activism in the modern society;
-
To analyze the good practises and, if
possible, to create new ones;
This event
