There is a need for empowerment
of young people.
The latest research done in Serbia show that young people
do feel a need for social activism, although they don’t
have clear vision of possibilities and most of them are not
attracted to political parties while other forms of social
activism are unfamiliar to them. They feel “powerless”
to influence life in their environment.
In order to response to current situation “Let’s…”
Group trainers have created a programs
that provide opportunity to young people to talk about themselves,
their values and explore their affiliations in the context
of active participation
in the society and their local community. Such personal
empowerment and support process brings in an important
“shift from problems
to vision” will help those young people to reconsider
their social roles and take the social responsibility, thus
becoming real active citizens.
One of ours strategic aims is:
to support of young people
in becoming active citizens through non-formal education,
advocacy, networking and engagement in European youth programs
