The workshop aims to provide young people of the community the opportunity to better understand global issues (environmental sustainability, social inequality, trade, immigration, etc.) and identify how these are manifested in their community, through a pleasant and interactive way.
During the 3 days the youth had to develop the Millenium Development Goals. They were learning and discusing for the goals through the activities. Then, participants had to choose a global issue identified in the community and then create audio material on this subject, under the guidance of a special instructor.
