Project Idea

We would like to base on our experience and develop international project for young people focused on active citizenship. Our vision is to change the approach of young people (15-21 years old) to politics, to make them become active and participating members of the civic society, lead a constructive dialogue with politicians and cooperate on creating their environment. The project provides both groups with space for communication with the expert support of a mentoring team and with help for writing their first project (the first change) and its realization.

The realization of even little change can teach the students many things: looking for resources, democratic ways of advancing ideas and opinions (and that things are not black-or-white), cooperation with fellow citizens as well as the community leadership. These experiences help students to start working on another change, maybe a bigger one. We combine one-day-workshops in regions for groups of high school students and local politicians/officers and mentoring support with writing and realizing small projects.
