Description
A work plan is a long-term project funded by the European Youth Foundation and the Council of Europe. The work plan “European Activist factory” will take place throughout the whole 2019 and includes three main stages:
- 03-09 March 2019: International training activity in Estonia.
- March-December 2019: National training activities, development and implementation of social campaigns.
- 14-17 December 2019: International evaluation activity in Poland.
This first international training activity is a 6 working day training for youth leaders of the participating organizations that will gather 21 participants from 7 countries (Estonia, Poland, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Romania and Denmark) in Vihi, Estonia.
The aim of the training activity is to train youth leaders on the topic of social activism and how to support young people in planning and implementing meaningful blended social campaigns.
The objectives are:
1. To introduce youth leaders to examples and frames of social activism and blended campaigning in the context of Council of Europe’s priority topics.
2. To equip youth leaders with tools to support young people to plan and implement blended social campaigns across the network of organizations to be conducted until mid-December 2019.
3. To provide space to plan 7 national training events with the purpose of planning blended campaigns to be conducted until mid-December 2019.
Participant’s profile:
