THE PROJECT The “YouthSocialAct: Youth Engagement in Initiatives Supporting Equality for All and Promoting Social Change” represents a project coordinated by the Social Policy and Action Organization and is funded by Erasmus + Programme of the European Union, under the action K1 Mobility of Youth Workers. The project was built based on the following needs and realities in societies:
a) active voluntarism is crucial and important and should be promoted from children’s early ages and be considered important to their healthy development,
b) children, adolescents and young people have strong sayings, opinions and views on how to promote changes in the society and the majority express the wish and willingness to contribute towards social change strongly,
c) young people have beautiful and innovative ideas on initiatives promoting social change, but unfortunately they are either not given the opportunity to actively participate in the organization of such initiatives, or when provided the opportunity they lack the knowledge or proper empowerment and guidance to practically implement them.
d) in many cases youth NGOs lack the knowledge and expertise to engage youth people actively in the design and practical implementation of such initiatives, even though interest is expressed,
e) the values of equality, acceptance and tolerance, are considered among the most crucial values to be cultivated in youth voluntarism and engagement.
AIMS
The project aims at a) raising awareness on the importance of engaging young people in initiatives promoting social change in their communities starting from promoting equality, acceptance and tolerance for all people and b) training and supporting youth workers on how to ensure youth engagement in such initiatives and how to guide and practically support young people in designing and implementing their ideas and projects utilizing innovative and modern methods.
