YSI-ACT: Youth Action for Solidarity and Inclusion is a 24-month project, carried out by 4 organizations and institutions from Spain (La Xixa), Bulgaria (Active Bulgarian Society), Cyprus (YEU Cyprus), and Finland (Laurea University of Applied Sciences).
Through non-formal education and creative and participatory methods, YSI-ACT aims to foster citizens’, and more specifically youngsters’, active participation in accordance with the democratic values of the European Union, in the promotion of human rights and with the objective of co-constructing a more inclusive and equalitarian society for all, regardless of one’s origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, capability, etc.
YSI-ACT aims to:
- Critically address prejudices, stereotypes, and discriminations, with the direct involvement of people in situations of vulnerability because of their origin, legal status, religion, gender, sexual orientation, capability, etc., and inform youth about the basic EU mechanisms that safeguard the fundamental human rights (bodies, institutions, processes, Treaties and Charters).
- Promote the development of the necessary competences and social-emotional skills among youth with the objective of participating more actively in society as well as creating youth-led actions to foster solidarity and inclusion.
- Develop and share with professionals of the youth field an innovative methodology combining non-formal education and creative and participatory methods such as Forum Theatre to promote active citizenship and solidarity among youth.
The main target group of the YSI-ACT project is youth between 16 and 25 years old as well as professionals who work in the field of youth and civil society.
