Objectives

By implementing the project, we aimed to empower young people and contribute to positive social change through meaningful and impactful youth work practices. The overall objective was to support young people in becoming active agents of change, particularly in the context of multiple and intersecting crises affecting their rights and well-being. The specific objectives of the project were as follows: 1. To facilitate meaningful discussions among young people in order to enhance their awareness and understanding of their rights in the face of complex societal challenges. 2. To empower young people to advocate for their rights and to take action against discrimination based on age, gender, migration status, disability, and other forms of marginalisation. 3. To strengthen solidarity among young people, fostering a sense of community, mutual support, and collective resilience. 4. To provide a platform for marginalised young people, including those with a migrant background or disabilities, to share their experiences and make their voices heard. 5. To equip participants with the necessary skills and resources to effectively address human rights violations and promote positive change within their communities. 6. To foster collaboration and partnerships among youth organisations, enhancing their collective capacity to promote human rights and social justice. 7. To raise awareness among stakeholders and policymakers about the specific challenges young people face, and to advocate for comprehensive approaches that uphold their rights and respond to their needs. 8. To establish sustainable networks and platforms that enable ongoing dialogue, cooperation, and action on youth rights and social justice beyond the duration of the project. Through these objectives, the project aimed to empower young people to engage meaningfully in their communities and contribute to the development of a more inclusive, just, and equitable society.
