Description
Starting from the need for visibility and recognition of NGOs in Neamt county, the present project proposes an integrated approach that will contribute to improving public perception of NGOs in Neamt county by implementing a multi-channel communication campaign: a digital platform that will provide visibility to the results and activities of local organizations, a podcast produced in ten editions, which will reveal to the public the experiences of volunteers and the benefits of involvement in an NGO; connecting with the public in local communities will also be achieved through direct interaction activities, such as an Open Day, where at least 5 NGOs will open their doors to the public, a forum theatre caravan that will present young high school students from urban and rural areas to the public, teachers, parents, business representatives and authorities, a play drawn from the reality faced by youth NGOs and involve them directly in finding solutions, thus provoking a much deeper and more impactful participatory process of awareness raising. The treasure hunt activity that will be organized within the project for young people from Piatra - Neamt and Targu Neamt on the theme of Civil Society, will be an entertaining and fun way for young people to "learn" about what the NGO sector entails, ways of involvement, existing local organizations and their activities.
