The overall objective of CAN-CY is to improve inclusion and meaningful participation of youth (18-30 age group) in socio-political and economic life. It will contribute to the selected Outcome 2 of the Programme “Vulnerable groups empowered” based on the following Theory of Change: | |||
IF young people (18-30 age group) from all communities benefit from a transparent idea generating process through which they will have an open dialogue and critical consideration regarding societal obstacles inhibiting them from being active citizens; | |||
THEN disengagement from civic matters will be replaced by a substantiated vision of a transparent, functioning and trusting society in which young people are empowered to connect with each other and take action to achieve common goals and come up with an action-road-map that entails SMART (Specific, Measurable, Assignable, Relevant, Time-bounded) call-to-actions for policy makers (e.g. policies, regulations, reforms, etc.) to enhance their civic participation; | |||
BECAUSE young people (CSOs, informal groups, volunteers) will become part of a collective decision-making process, through which they will convert their potential into social impact by taking steps towards implementation of the action-road-map agreed by all. | |||
Through online and offline activity outreach, at least 3,000 youth will be informed about the novel digital tools for inclusion (Output 2.2). At least 200 (possibly 1000+) young people island-wide, who will be sharing their ideas via Pusula/Ππούσουλας Platform and Idea Prism will be empowered (Outcome 2). The use of digital tools will ensure outreach to youth in underserved geographic areas across the island. The automatic translation functionality of the Pusula/Ππούσουλας Platform (in ENG, GR and TR) and the presence of SeeD’s networks in both communities will support bicommunal cooperation and foster intercultural dialogue, to interact with each other, providing actionable and scalable solutions. | |||
Echoing UNICEF recommendations on providing civic education opportunities for increasing youth participation, CAN-CY will also contribute to mandatory Outcome 3 “Enhanced capacity and sustainability of civil society (organisations and the sector)” by providing mentorship and life-skills trainings. Following successful generation of the action-road-map, CAN-CY will provide mentorship and life-skills trainings to at least 14 vulnerable young people from both communities (G/C and T/C) (Output 2.1) and representatives from at least 4 CSOs (ideally 10 CSOs in total with 5 CSOs from each community) and informal groups from both G/C and T/C communities (Output 3.1) who commit to advocate for achieving change through the roadmap’s implementation; thus networking and building partnerships between them (Output 3.2). | |||
