Ananas (ana = I am; nas = people) empowers young people with a refugee background that want to have an impact on society to let their voices be heard. The project is rolled out by and for youths, with participation and connection as central ideas. We start from their dreams and ideas, which are linked tot challenges and trens in our society. We organise monthly activities revolving around topics that are put forward by the youths themselves. We work towards three goals: 1. Create a safe space 2. Learning and self-development 3. Make their voices heard - every year we obtain this with 4 actions The participating youths have chosen three main topics in which they want to have an impact: 1. Bridge the distance between people 2. Change the image of young people with a refugee background 3. Improve the situation of young people with a refugee backgroun
