Description
The TechBintZI project addresses the need to stimulate civic engagement and raise civic awareness and democratic culture among young people in Fierbinti Targ, Ialomita County, a small urban community lacking opportunities for development and civic involvement for young people. The project targets 200 young people who will become active citizens and will be able to mobilize their colleagues to eliminate the existing social and cultural barriers in the local community, by consolidating an informal group of students and a Local Youth Council structure. Over the course of 24 months, young people will gain valuable skills and attitudes in the area of civic engagement and human rights, thus becoming agents of positive change for the rest of their lives. The results of the project are: establishing an informal group of 30 young people from the Fierbinti Targ Technological High School and the structure of the Local Youth Council that can act on behalf of and for the benefit of students, arranging and equipping a meeting and working space for young people, conducting an information campaign among high school students, implementing two leadership and communication programs, implementing an educational program on civil rights and human rights, a monthly vlog made by young people that will contribute both to developing their media skills and improving the image of the city Ferbinti Targ, strongly prejudiced by the comedy series Las Fierbinti. The intervention is designed so that at the end of it the community will continue the project and take it to the next level, to this goal will contribute the partnership between Fierbinti Targ Technological High School, a local NGO - Balkan Development Support Association, which will strengthen a real dialogue between students and the school leadership, local authorities and community, using the model implemented by the third partner, the ACS Community Support Association from Piatra Neamt through the Local Youth Council.
