Let's Debate Change

Overall objective: Increased capacity and engagement of youth to advocate and effect change in their local community, with the support of their Municipalities

Expected outcome: Young people – women and men as well as representatives of different ethnic groups – decide on proposals for improvements in their community/municipality and lobby the relevant authorities and the public for their implementation, and decide on projects in their community/municipality serving the public good and implement them.

Specific outputs serving this Outcome are:

• Partnerships between Municipalities and young women and men (including minorities) from two local high schools achieved.
• Young women and men (including minorities) are empowered to identify issues in their community and develop capacities to address them.
• Young women and men (including minorities) take proactive concrete measures to raise and address issues identified by them in their communities – through the creation of new generation of youth leaders, production of Local Improvement Policy Briefs, implementing Local Improvement Projects and participating in decision-making local events.
