Description
Recent studies in Romania have revealed low levels of participation in civic and community life. The Civil Society Development Foundation (CSDF) recognizes the power of civil society in addressing this issue, derived from organizations representing people''s rights and active citizens who aim to transform their present realities. The most effective group for building a stronger civil society are young people, or #trillenials, who are engaged in civil society. To support them, CSDF created Program3, a one-year learning program for at least 146 young people from Romania, divided into four annual cohorts. The program consists of two semesters with a predetermined curriculum and customized learning based on the interests of each #trillenial. The first semester focuses on technical content and essential skills for NGO work, while the second semester covers thematic content related to NGO work. Students are encouraged to apply these learnings at the community level. The aim of the program is to create a motivated and skilled community of young people who can work within the NGO sector, benefiting at least 50 organizations directly and raising awareness among at least 500 young people.
