The Partner-Finding Tool
Youth exchange about social media skills in solidarity work in June 2021.
This project aims to address two major issues that young people face: lack of motivation to get involved in
own community and excessive leisure in an online environment, both directly affecting them, but also the community in general, desensitizing society to the needs of the other.
Thus, the project comes to: show that you can get involved easily and with impact at the community level, directly responding to the priority of involvement, connection and empowerment of young people, emphasizing their participation in the community and raising awareness of active citizenship through methods and tools learned in project and through the examples of good practice presented. Intentionally choosing as ex-volunteers from the Puppets Occupy Street Festival https://www.facebook.com/PuppetsOccupyStreet/); that you can get involved in various causes without necessarily having specific skills, showing that you can only be part of the solution not necessarily the solution complete, that small steps matter in civic involvement, that you can use social media in a useful way, that you can use positive social media without a negative impact on mental health, etc.
Project objectives:
O1: Development of a set of social media skills for a number of 48 participants during 5 months
O2: Promoting in the 6 partner communities a guide examples of good practices in identifying and contributing to solving causes / problems in the community, focused on social media, for a period of 2 months
