Description

„Three Layers of Democracy- systematic and integrated approach to the non-formal learning of the human rights“ is project in which different approaches and methodologies that guide planning, designing, delivery, monitoring and evaluation of the non-formal learning of the human rights for the youth and youth workers will be implemented. It is based on the needs of the rural communities in which marginalised and discriminated population of youth is often the target of the human rights violations. Needs analysis showed how youth in the risk of social exlusion can be human rights violators as well as its victims. Project activities are carefully designed to empower youth who are at risk of experiencing racism, discrimination or inequalities to claim their rights.

Insufficient experience and human rights skills on tackling systematic ethnic/racial discrimination were the main problems of the applicant organisation so strengthening youth workers with training skills on internalised racism and discrimination as well as on addressing systematic discrimination are the main objectives of the project.

Project activities are based on the creation of human rights campaings and education, on the consulting of young people about unmet needs, unfilled gaps and their capacity and knowledge on human rights. Project will put right-holders, youth at the centre of youth interventions.

Project will strengthen young people''s meaningful participation through inclusive participatory and gender-sensitive processes and empower youth at risk to claim their their rights, such as youth with disabilities, LGBTIQ youth, or ethnical minority youth.

The outcome of youth interventions will contribute to the development of the capacities of youth, the right-holders, to know how to present their human rights concerns or problems, as well as to claim and enjoy their human rights.

Partner from Norway will facilitate and mentor the implementation of project.
