ABOUT THE ACTIVITY
IUSY is part of UNMGCY (major group on youth and children) and member of ICMYO constantly working not only with its member organisations worldwide, but also with other organisations in the global level tackling issues related to young people and youth rights. In this scope, the SDG number 16 is particularly relevant to the work of IUSY that promotes youth empowerment and active youth participation.
In different regions of the world where IUSY works, access to justice is unequal. This applies to many groups, in particular young people. This situation creates obstacles to youth engagement, active participation in political and social life. With this activity, which is a Training of Trainers we want to provide a space and opportunity to reflect on the topic of Youth and Justice as an important element to youth empowerment and participation where justice is equal for all and ensures protection of the society. The activity will focus on the theme partially from human rights perspective, partially through peace education which will allow diverse group of participants to build bridges that will make real and tangible the relation between all young people who want to contribute to the construction of peace, solidarity and social justice.
OBJECTIVES
- To introduce the topic of non-formal education from the perspective of justice, peace education and human rights
- To promote the concept of non-formal education as a working tool among the participants and, as an extension, their member organisations
- To provide participants with knowledge, tools and confidence to pursue training in their local organisations
- To bring the global perspective to the local level by providing training and facilitation skills to the participants
- To train members on the concepts that are relevant for youth political activism/campaigning training in order to be multipliers in their organisations (such as advocacy, speech drafting, communication skills, etc.)
- To develop the IUSY Pool of Trainers by improving the training capacities of young activists and youth organisations
The workshops will be facilitated based on the core values of participatory non-formal education/learning and on the basis of global education. The programme will promote critical analysis and be tool-oriented to improve the capacities of young activists and youth organisations at the national and local levels.
