Summary of the results

The project responded to the current needs of young people in disadvantaged. The project sought to explain how to support young people to promote their views in decision-making processes and public policy-making. The project also responded to the need for sharing ideas among young people through foreign cooperation and the necessity of improving communication skills. The importance of addressing the theme of the project was highlighted by the Covid-19 pandemic, which has isolated young people in their homes and tied them to social networks more strongly than ever before. It is social networks that are the source of hoaxes or the creation of radical movements.

A total of 273 participants took part in the individual project activities of the bilateral initiative.

Icelandic partners and their cooperating youth organisation Hamarinn prepared a video on the views and attitudes of Icelandic youth - an example of successful young activists advocating their views in public policies and decision-making processes, and an excellent tool for 2 workshops in secondary schools as well as for youth workers.

The Icelandic partners established contacts with young activists and youth workers who showed a strong interest in working together and continuing their cooperation in future projects. Educational activities for youth took place both in Slovakia (Lišov) and in Iceland (Hamarinn in Hafnarfjörður).
