The main goal of the Youth in Action project is to increase the social activity of young people between the ages of 16 and 25 by developing and strengthening neighborhood relations between young people, adults and seniors. The intermediate goals of the project are: - integration of people living next to each other, - increase of soft, language and social competences among young people - participants of the project, - sensitizing youth to the needs of others and counteracting aggression.
The pandemic that forced distance learning and staying at home is of great importance. Through the implementation of the project, young people left their homes for purposes other than education, to get to know their immediate environment and neighbors, and to initiate socially useful activity. Youth with whom we work on various types of projects alone emphasizes that they would like to do something for the common good and thanks to this they were able to meet a much larger number of people. By implementing the project, we inspired young people to explore their place of neighborhood on local level. An important aspect for us and a strong motivation is also the need to integrate society with a focus on young people in small towns. The three organizations that make up the consortium work in small towns where access to various types of entertainment is difficult, so the development of creativity and social activity takes place in that place in where they live, which will cause the development and growth of activity among residents. We are all very motivated show residents through such events that it is possible to engage in socially interesting things not only in big cities.
