Human rights start with breakfast! Empower youth through human rights education

Description

The main aim of the project was to strengthen the capacity of civil society organisations that work with young people from Romania, Italy, France, Denmark, Peru and Guyana to develop an effective, coherent, inclusive and sustainable framework for promoting and using human rights education.The objectives of the projects were: - To develop competences in human rights education for 30 youth workers from the partner organisations - To develop basic competences in human rights for 300 young persons from the partner organisations - To increase the cooperation at local and regional level between different stakeholders (schools/NGOs and community) - To promote active citizenship and human rights values - To increase the personal and professional development for 6 youths from Peru during 7 months of international volunteering - To create an interactive, user friendly and accessible platform for human rights educationThe overall projects objectives were to invest in local youth workers in order to train them as multipliers in their communities. The project planned to generate local activities that will involve more young people. The methodology developed for the training course for the youth workers in the field of Human Rights education was easy to use also by others actors in the field of education and had the aim to increase the competences for young people to become promoters of human rights. Human rights education implies transversal competences that contribute to the professional growth of the youth workers. In the project we also addressed the model of competences for democratic culture, developed by the Council of Europe. By participating in this projects all the partners developed their competences to work towards a more inclusive society. The partners learnt about different realities from Peru and Guyana and had the opportunity to transfer the know-how bringing thus change into the local communities and improving their work with the young people. Organisations from Peru and Guyana had the chance to learn by doing how active organisations from EU countries are working with young people, what methods are most effective and how can non-formal education impact the professional and personal growth of young people. Also, the project team considers that through this project we promoted the concept of youth work, as it is understood in Europe. All the partners involved had the opportunity to train local youth and then to maintain a direct communication with the consortium via on-line platform. On the other hand, the partners from EU contribute to their experience in working with young people and had the opportunity to get to know realities and methods of working from organisations from Peru and Guyana.The project increased the capacity of the partners to work in a trans-continental environment, improved their methods to work with young people and developed new relationships. This project was s start for future similar initiatives providing concrete tools on how to build and maintain international partnerships. After the project two of the partners applied for similar funding. Also ideas for future collaboration were discussed at the end of the mobility in Lima, Peru. The online platform that is available also after the life of the project is a space for sharing information and resources relevant on the theme of the project.
