The project will be implemented in 6 technological high schools, of which 4 in rural areas. 250 students will benefit from an education and information campaign structured on 4 topics in the field of civic education, human rights, civic involvement and communication. 40 of them will be organized in 6 groups - the LEM Civic Inspector and will carry out 6 actions of civic involvement in the community. The LEM civic inspector will address needs in the area of IPT education, environmental protection or community needs that directly affect students in IPT and that can be addressed. The communication campaign #Change starts with you, dedicated to the 6 communities, aims to increase interest in community involvement, using as an example the advocacy initiatives in the project.
