Description
The project consists of the implementation of activities of civic implication and education in 2 communities from Dolj county with a high marginalization rate and with insufficiently served areas where there was a lack of civic spirit among young people, a lack of practical approach to teaching civic education and misinformation online. Training courses for teachers on human rights and civic activism in the school will be provided with the help of the Icelandic partner the Human Rights Council of Iceland. Subsequently, information and awareness campaigns regarding civic activism and dissemination of information acquired during the course will be carried out to other teachers from the 3 high schools. Also, a study visit to Iceland will be organized to facilitate the exchange of best practices between the Icelandic and Romanian partners and a campagne and workshops will be held on civic involvement of young people in order to increase their knowledge of human rights and civic activism among children of the 3 high schools selected. A campaign on media literacy and fake news will be organized in schools to teach children how to filter fake news from social networks and other sources. Simulated NGOs will be set up within the 3 high schools and through them the students will be familiarized with the tools and context through which the civic initiatives can be carried out and as an application, initiatives of this kind will be carried out in the community by the students. Last but not least, there will be an organizational development activity that will consist of a training for the members of the association on volunteer management, fundraising and strategic planning and then realizing a strategy of developpement of the NGO. The added value of the partnership is the acquisition of good practices and expertise from the Icelandic partner that can be replicated by the Romanian partner.
