March 23-30, 2024

Comandău, Romania

Intro:

Welcome to “YOUth Take the LEAD,” an international mobility project of GYEEK Club Szeged with the cooperation of Asociatia Sportiva MUSUBI Miercurea Ciuc, designed to empower young people to become active contributors to society through the promotion of active citizenship and increased youth participation. This initiative recognizes the crucial role that young individuals play in shaping the future and aims to provide them with the tools, knowledge, and experiences needed to take the lead in their communities.

Objectives:

  • Foster Active Citizenship:
    • Equip participants with an understanding of the concept of active citizenship.
    • Encourage a sense of responsibility towards community and society.
  • Enhance Youth Participation:
    • Develop skills and knowledge that enable young people to actively engage in civic life.
    • Explore various forms of participation, including social, cultural, and political involvement.
  • Promote Cross-Cultural Understanding:
    • Facilitate international mobility experiences to broaden perspectives and promote cultural exchange.
    • Encourage dialogue and collaboration among participants from diverse backgrounds.
  • Develop Leadership Skills:
    • Provide opportunities for participants to develop leadership qualities.
    • Empower young individuals to initiate positive change in their communities.
  • Create Sustainable Networks:
    • Foster long-lasting connections among participants and partner organizations.
    • Establish a network of young leaders committed to promoting active citizenship.

Description:

‘YOUth Take the Lead,’  project originates from a local-level need to involve a greater number of young people in organisational activities, especially in small and challenging contexts. Recognizing the effectiveness of small-scale projects in rural and marginalised areas, the project aims to address the lack of youth participation procedures in these communities. Emphasising a gradual involvement strategy, the project seeks to guide participants with less experience and overcome language barriers, ensuring comfort in expressing opinions. The project’s funding importance lies in addressing the actual needs of rural areas, where young people are seen as the driving force of innovation and future leadership. A local survey conducted by partner organisations highlights the community’s desire for increased youth activism, environmental awareness, and a scarcity of related activities. The project’s significance extends to both local and European levels, fostering community development and ensuring that these communities are not left behind in global transition processes.
