SHARE to be ENGAGED

YWCA in Palestine is eagerly applying to EuroMed Youth IV Programme - Round 2 for a new Youth Project (Deadline: June 9, 2015).

This Youth Training Course will give the opportunity for young people to learn about each others' cultures and mainly gain understanding about their involvement in their communities as active citizens. Moreover, the Training will raise youth’s awareness and help encourage them to be more active (civic engagement) as they get inspired from the practices of their peers.

Overall Objective:
Promoting common concept of civic engagement for the young women in the euro-mid region

Specific Objective:
1. Increase and strengthen youth's understanding of Youth Participation and Civic Engagement in EuroMed context.
2. Inspire young women from the euro-med region by sharing personal experiences from their Civic Engagement's best practices and lessons learnt.
3. Learn and reflect on the linkages between Civic Engagement in the EU and volunteering in South MEDA countries.
4. Develop a basis for long-term partnerships with participant countries and instigate new project ideas.

Partners: South Mediterranean & EU Countries -
3 participants from each Partner Country.

Target Group: Young women and men, youth community leaders, youth volunteers, all between the ages of 18 - 29 years old.

Main Activities: Field Visits, Cultural Activities, Educational Exercises, Open Discussions, Working Groups, and Information Sessions.

The organizer: Young Women’s Christian Association in Palestine supports and aspires to create women leadership, especially among young women and girls, to realize their full rights and capabilities, and to promote and advance their full participation in decision-making on equal footing with men and in all aspects of their lives as they contribute to building a democratic and free civil society.
