Description
The target groups of the project are 10 young people, 10 blind children and 10 young people, 10 deaf children between 7 and 25 years. They are marginalized due to ignorance of the community in which they live, and due to poor system because they are often not provided with conditions for equal participation. Although there are activities that advocating for changes that will improve their position in society, they are left out of the process due to their age or not having the necessary skills. The lack of programs that will strengthen their civic competencies and actively involve them in civic engagement is a key problem. In order to prevent marginalization, we decided to strengthen their civic skills, conduct a structured dialogue where they are advocates, and carry out the volunteer program. Main aim of the project is to increase the active participation of PWDs to create a more inclusive future; SA1: Strengthen civic competencies for 20 children and 20 young PWDs; SA2: Empower young people and children PWDs to start initiatives and engage independently and SA3: Strengthen volunteer engagement in the work of CSOs. The multiplier effect of the project will be achieved by implementing a program for young people and children PWDs for civic engagement, which is designed in a way that can be adapted to all marginalized groups, implemented in other local communities with the same effect. The project is relevant to this call because it directly contributes to increasing civic engagement in CSOs, strengthening marginalized groups, and civil society development and inclusion through the implementation of advocacy activities conducted marginalized group, PWD, which are also the results of the project.
