Objectives

Project Video – cartoon ‘Do you know you’ve got Rights?’ has been designed by youth in age of 16-22 from Poland and Romania and they came toward to partner organizations and proposed organizing the workshop. These are young people artistically talented in the range of paiting, graphics and drawing with the knowledge about functioning and influence of social media. They are interested in propagating issues connected with the diversification among countries, showing the world ways of overcoming barriers among people in the range of binding values in Universal Declaration of Human Rights (dated 10.12.1948) The participants are aware that through educating about human rights they can permanently change surrounding reality, make others aware that considering the fact we were born humans we have the same rights to education or work and most of all to equal treatment despite the place where we live or our status in society. In the project will take place 28 persons and 10 of them have geographical, economical or cultural obstacles. Some of them come from families with low standard of living, from small towns and their families could not have aducation on high level but only the basic system of education in the country. Therefore the project will give them even deeper sharing the experience. The idea occurred due to internal needs of the participants’ staying in touch via social media and belief that every human despite the age, place of living, social status, can change the world and influence current and future generations. Our Foundation is willing to collaborate in carrying out such an important project and support the youth in achieving their goals. The project is not easy and requires huge engagement and work but the youth is ready to set the goals and face them. The main purpose of the project is to introduce basic human rights and problems with respecting them in modern world in easy and accessible way for everyone (by means of a cartoon) to provoke reflection on the issue of human rights in different countries. The project will influence significantly participants in building relations by them in future by sensitizing them to the needs of others. The purpose of the cartoon workshop is to teach them this form of art, where participants may express such important issue in a perverse and not obvious way. As part of the workshop participants will work out a Video – cartoon, which is to become a kind of a guide to human rights and a set of reflections of the youth on their view in countries of modern Europe. The participants will get to know creative form of a drawing, writing a narration and creating a multimedia presentation. It will allow to raise creativity, creative thinking, ability to gain new skills for the youth for whom similar classes may give tools to personal changes and a model of effective interpersonal communication, initiating openness and social sensitivity which are essential issues for the youth. Another important purpose of the project is developing culture of learning, personal development, motivating participants to active engagement in all forms of education, especially creative thinking, broadening interests, raising the level of knowledge and awereness of other cultures, solidarity and European integration, promoting the principles of democracy and religious liberalism, social sensitivity.
