Description
GO AHEAD WITH YOUR BEST DREAM! is a caravan aimed at shifting mentalities regarding the need of teens for personal development and counseling, but also the need for visibility, public image and trust in NGOs.The caravan will reach 35 schools in 8 regions - 5005 students, teachers, parents, public and private sectors, academia. At the same time, it implies a documentary film produced and launched during an innovative event which will present the realities of the society we live in, a society in which ¼ of teens never speak with their parents about problems, do not know how to handle their negative emotions and have to work in the household instead of attending school, while not having access to personal development and counseling programs. It will be a strong message which will reach over 50000 persons through the media campaigns, the voices of the volunteers, ambassadors, influencers as well as through the documentary film which we aim to lead to an increase in the confidence of the population in NGOs, in their projects and especially in the projects of GO-AHEAD, to an increase of its visibility and in the no of supporters, as well as raising awareness on the importance of personal development programs in schools. The project is a national continuation of EDURIGHTS4GIRLS(financed by ACF)which showed the positive impact of personal development and group therapy sessions for 480 girls and 210 teachers from 15 vocational highschools from NT and SV. We plan on going forward to vocational highschools throughout the country in order to shift the stigma of these students as being less capable and to help those who are in vulnerable situations to become their best possible version. In our endeavor, we partner with Art for Change Foundation, together with whom we implemented another project consisting of Affirmative Art activities and, by coming from Norway in which civil society is visible and important,P1 has extensive experience in caravans in vulnerable communities.
