Network Activity - DRCY and MRCS: Visit to DRCY?s Annual Youth Camp The aim is to enable two core MRCS youth volunteers to involve fellow youths in the organisational development of the youth structures of MRCS by strengthening their capacities in implementing the MRCS youth strategy at district level. This is important as the youth divisions and youth sub-divisions play a key role in the successful implementation of the strategy.   One chairperson and one Youth Leader will participate in the DRCY's Annual Youth Camp. Here they will gather knowledge, experience, and inspiration on how to engage and involve youths in developing the youth structure of MRCS democratically and in terms of capacity building and training of volunteers. Afterward, the two partici-pants share the learnings in their own districts to increase local youth participation in the MRCS youth strategy and at the MRCS AGM.   Therefore, the network activity will support the youth work in MRCS by enabling youths to strengthen their or-ganisation by building strong volunteer management procedures, leadership development trainings, democratic processes, and sharing best practise across local divisions. Furthermore, the network activity strengthens the partnership between MRCS and DRCY and will motivate and inspire the MRCS youth to keep building the capac-ity of their local MRCS sub-divisions.
Global Development Through Young Partnership Vi ønsker at optage og dokumentere de stærke kontraster der findes mellem danske og tanzaniske ungdomspolitikere ved hjælp af optagelsen af en dokumentarfilm. Filmen skal fremvises i sammenhæng med en stand på Folkemødet hvortil der også vil være en kort debat samt en udstilling af tegninger fra Tanzaniske skolebørn.   Gennem dette projekt stræber vi ikke kun efter at øge demokratisk dannelse og evnen til at deltage i lokalsamfundet, men også gennem DUFs oplysningsaktivitet at kaste lys på de betydelige kontraster og barrierer, som unge i Tanzania står over for, sammen med den yngre generations drømme for samfundet og forslag til at imødegå disse udfordringer i fremtiden. Vi ønsker også at understrege kønsuligheden på Zanzibar og styrke de unge kvinder, der er involveret i lokale organisationer.
Dialogue and Democracy Across the Atlantic A potential partnership with OAJNU for youth and female empowerment in the field of public dialogue and democratic participation
RU/EDEN Partnership development project The last time members from EDEN and RU saw each other was in the fall of 2018, in order to solidify the partnership and ensure a durable working relationship, we believe it to be important to have physical workshops and meetings. Furthermore, members of EDEN?s working group and RU?s working group have changed and we therefore hope that a visit by EDEN to Copenhagen in 2020 would allow the new members to get to know EDEN better and thereby develop a more sustainable partnership. Therefore we will have a better understanding of each other, which will strengthen possible future projects together.
Kick off the future (cooperation) This is an application for a preparatory study in Kiev, Ukraine The study will be conducted by three project members of DSU and they will study ways of making a sustainable partnership between SD Platform and DSU The overall objective is to study and develop future projects, as well as getting a better understanding of the context of youth engagement in Ukraine The study will contain a mix of getting to know the context of SD Platform and how they are working, and later on the two project groups will get down and formalize their partnership and develop a pilot project together Our aim with this preparatory study will be the beginning of a long partnership between DSU and SD Platform, that mutually benefit both organizations
Mental Health Awareness Initiative The purpose of the pilot project is to address mental health challenges amongst youths in Zambia through various information awareness activities. Mental health is highly stigmatized and is considered a taboo subject in the majority of the African communities, and specifically in Zambia. Through this project we aim to create and normalise the conversation on mental health as a means of reducing the stigma and prejudice around the topic. Secondly this project aims to address the structural barriers such as lack of mental health facilities, lack of qualified personnel, and lack of access to proper treatment and follow-up. Creating the conversation and normalising the discussion around mental health alone, won’t be enough if people don’t have access to facilities where they can get the help they need. The project will therefore work hand in hand with the ministry of health, which is the primary duty-bearer, to outline practical ways to simplify access to treatment and help, for those who need it.
Redefining the future The aim of this pilot project is for PSCF to reach more students and strengthen the interconnectivity between the students at the 9 different universities at the West Bank. We want to strengthen PSCF as an organisation mainly by increasing awareness from the broader student body. Secondly this increase in awareness should lead to an increase in the number of volunteers. Therefore, one of our main activities will be the establishment of a platform where the students will be informed about the work of PSCF and where they at the same time can communicate across the different universities, autonomous of the student councils. Furthermore, we will host workshops that are aimed to help the students strengthen their communication skills and the dialog between the different universities.  We learned from our Preparatory Study this February that the Palestinian students are more likely to volunteer in an organisation where they are able to improve their skills - both for job-preparation and academically. Therefore we believe that these activities will not only raise awareness of PSCF but bring more volunteers to PSCF and thereby making PSCF a more sustainable organisation. DSF and PSCF have been partners for more than five years and has throughout this period evolved a fruitful and progressive partnership benefiting both parties. The shared experience and understanding are important enabling factors that help the partnership reach the milestones of the years to come.
Sexual, reproductive og mental health in Tanahun, Nepal The aim of the Partnership Project is to increase knowledge on SRHR (Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights) and mental health among Nepalese students from grade 7, 8, 9 and 11 of Tanahun district through teaching, formation of student clubs and advocacy work The primary target group will be involved in various numbers of activities during the Partnership Project, which include interactive lectures, workshops, and peer-to-peer transfer of knowledge to other students All activities will be based on a baseline questionnaire conducted in the beginning The project will work together with local stakeholders and persons of interest to ensure sustainability and local support The project will furthermore focus on capacity building of PSRN-sc and IMCC Nepal, and the strengthening of our partnership
Strengthening the partnership This project aims to make concrete plans for the strengthening of our partnership for the future. We wish to discuss our past activities within the partnership to identify key learning points, which will be the basis of the partnership work plan - our main goal with the project. Within this, feedback from our recent monitoring from DUF, will be discussed and included. Challenges with visa applications have occurred within our most recent projects, and this is a challenge we need to prepare our partnership to face in the future, to ensure that our partnership prevails non the less, why these will be discussed with the goal being to make concrete back-up plans for future challenges of this sort. Lastly, we will also take into consideration how to ensure transparency and involvement of new members in both organisations going forward, as part of the workplan for the future. These activities will take place over approx. five days of workshops, with volunteer members and key staff - both old and new - from both organisations.
Partner Identification: DSU and Juventud Liberales de Colombia The main goal of this Partner Identification project is to analyze the possibility of establishing a more longterm project cooperation between DSU and the Liberal Youth of Colombia (ONJL). The project is managed by DSU?s South America Group and International Committee. The Partner Identification will be conducted in Colombia, where DSU?s South America Group will meet with activists from ONJL and their mother party, the Liberal Party of Colombia. In advance to handing in this application, DSU and ONJL has agreed that a longterm project may focus on youth participation in democracy, which is why we will also visit local youth councils in the regions of Cundinmarca, Antioquia, Caldas, Toloma and Santander. We will also meet with local youth councillors, who are not affiliated with ONJL in order to conduct a thorough context analysis.  DSU and ONJL are sister organizations and are organized as such in the International Union of Socialist Youth (IUSY). We thus share values of solidarity, minority rights, democracy and gender equality. However, we have not had bilateral project cooperation before, and we therefore need to conduct a Partner Identification study prior to applying for a full scale project. Both ONJL and DSU have worked successfully with youth participation in politics and democracy before, and we therefore hope and expect to constitute a proper match. For instance, DSU has worked with the issue in the Philippines for years. These are also the reasons why DSU will only meet with one potential partner organization during the trip. During the study, DSU and ONJL will hold meetings, where we will discuss and and explore the potential partnership between our organizations.  During the Partner Identification, we will also explore how DSU and ONJL together can begin a DUF project partnership to help more children and young people have their voices heard - for instance through regional youth councils. We will look into how DSU can tribute to this by speaking to youth councillors around Colombia to understand more in depth the issues, they are facing.  Please notice: DSU?s South America Group has submitted two partnership identification applications for this deadline for the International Pool - Columbia and Argentina. If both partnership identifications are granted, we will consider, if it is possible to visit both Colombia and Argentina in one trip in order to minimize the plane ticket costs. Flying to South America is very expensive, and we hope it would be possible to find a solution with our partner organizations in order to minimize the cost.
Folkemødet - The Peoples Democratic Festival The aim of the Network Activity is for PSRN-SC and IMCC Nepal to participate and engage at Folkem?det - The People?s Democratic Festival 2019, together. We believe that this is a golden opportunity for the selected members from both organizations to learn, interact, network and build capacity for the benefit of the partnership and our future projects. The participants could furthermore get inspired on how to do advocacy and be empowered to become advocates themselves. A team of five participants, two from PSRN-SC and three from IMCC Nepal, will participate in this meeting between people and politicians to debate current political issues. The participants will also facilitate two events at Folkem?det - The People?s Democratic Festival 2019, in cooperation with some other non-profit organizations.
Democracy Across the Atlantic Folkemødet is a demonstration of Danish democratic culture at its core. The societal festival reduces the distance between politicians and “the people” by gathering officials, organisations, opinion makers, companies, correspondents, and citizens to debate social concerns and creations. Decision makers and Danes alike walk and talk, side by side in this small island of Bornholm surrounded by the Baltic Sea. This continued conversation between citizens across all sectors, cultivates trust and transparency in our society. This is a true initiative for democratic dialogue - incidentantly, initiated by the person who founded Silba - Initiative for Dialogue and Democracy, former MP Bertel Haarder. Folkemødet is the ideal setting for a network activity between representatives from Silba and OAJNU. The primary purpose is to show and tell the constructive story of Danish democratic culture through the eyes of a young Argentinian woman. The intention is then to gain insights and inspiration for our South American Youth Democracy Summit in 2024. Folkemødet - Across the Atlantic.
Youth Leader Exchange in Relation to Pilot Project on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights for Tanzanian youth and adolescents The aim of the Youth Leader Exchange (YLE) is to support our Pilot Project (PP), ?Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights for Tanzanian youth and adolescents?. It aims at provision of education and awareness on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) among the youth and adolescents ranging 12 to 18 years of age. The area of focus for the YLE is; 1) capacity building of the partnership organization, 2) development of a mentorship program and equipping the students with skills to share knowledge to other peers, and 3) development of a radio program reaching out to the broader public. The YLE offers a unique opportunity to add extra energy and resources to our partnership. Furthermore, a collaboration with youth leaders (YLs) in Kenya from IMCC Global will contribute to sparring and exchange of knowledge between the YLs of each project.
Partnership development og youth center board The project is an exchange trip for members of the youth center in Balti, Moldova to come to Denmark on a week-long visit. In order to strengthen the partnership between Silba and the Moldovan partner organization CREEDD?s STUDEM project, the exchange will serve as a greater educational experience in participation and democratic values. The visit will help to establish a basis for a stronger cooperation in the future. Through a variety of cultural activities and workshops, the trip presents a special opportunity to better our understanding of each others? goals, motivations and culture
Shabaabs x Jordan This application of a preparatory study is a collaboration between DFUNK (Danish Refugee Council Youth), based in Denmark and INJAZ, based in Jordan. In June 2019 at the Partner Identification trip, DFUNK and INJAZ met for the first time. Here the two organisations found common consensus for a future collaboration, concerning a youth project for people with and without refugee background. In order to assess a pilot project, we find that the objective of the preparatory study is twofold: 1) to reach further understanding and common ground between INJAZ and DFUNK. 2) to discuss a pilot project for young people with and without refugee background in Jordan.
Youth Clubs in Uganda This partner Identification will happen in Africa (Uganda) with a non-profit organization called Youth Livelihoods Development Company (YLDC) UNGR works with youth clubs in Denmark, similarly, YLDC works with youth (10-30 years of age) in clubs (in-school)/groups (out-of-school) So far, we see ourselves matching in the work with youth The trip will contribute to the partnership because UNGR will have found a like-minded partner who shall contribute to our development cooperation goals and offer cross learning opportunities The trip will enable us to understand the partner organization?s leadership and functionality so as to start a partnership
Keep Hope Alive - in Lebanon The Partner Identification will take place in Lebanon, where the two potential partner organizations are located. The chosen partner organizations, ‘The Mena Trauma Healing Center’ and ‘The Marara Youth Center’, match the values, visions, and policies of DUF as they wish to raise awareness on the importance of mental health work and do this by promoting basic human rights for children and youth, gender equality, democratic citizen participation, and better life opportunities and equality between different population groups. The partner organizations also match IU with their values and in the way they engage the local community in the projects through peer-to-peer collaboration as well as focusing on empowering the future generation by developing educational practices through NGO work. Our hope for this project is to establish a partnership project that fits into the existing local cultural framework, but with the possibility of incorporating experiences such as learning communities, democratic values, and gender equalities within the project.
Unge medlemmer af YWCA drager til Sydafrika 2 unge medlemmer af VU's partnerorganiation, ønsker at deltage i World YWCA Council for at få ny inspiration og id?er til det videre samarbejde.
Youth First Extended The four youth leaders will be attached to our Youth First program in A?t Ourir in Morocco. The aim with the exchange is to work in depth with the project on the actual location. The leaders will work on spreading awareness in the local area, which will be done through a more intense focus on social media and social gatherings with the youth of A?t Ourir and making local exhibitions showing the youth projects. By consistently spreading awareness, making the project familiar to the citizens and arranging gatherings where young people can come and learn about their role in their community as well as getting the tools to carry out their visions in their local area. A focus will also be in building the Youth First Alumina together with the mentors. The Danish youth and the Moroccan youth will support AFCD in reaching the goals in the Partnership project and work in depth with the cultural obstacles and analyze what can be done to prevent this. At the same time, the exchange will connect the partners in the partnership even more and make sustainable relations that will strengthen future cooperation.
Mentoring as a Way Forward 2.0 Formålet med partnerskabsprojektet er at vejlede børn og unge i Zambia. Pilotprojektet har bevist levedygtigheden af ??mentorprojektet i hovedstadsområdet. Vi ønsker at fortsætte mentorprojektet og uddanne mentorer inden for de etablerede områder. Gennem et samarbejde, der bruger det bedste fra både VU & YWCA, er mentorprogrammet mellem én mentor og én mentee, for at forbedre børn og unges mentale sundhed og livsfærdigheder. Tilbagebagemeldinger fra de allerede uddannede mentorer viser et ønske om reuddannelse. Dette projekt vil derfor også fokusere på reuddannelse og organisatorisk kapacitet, for at styrke projektet de steder, det er etableret og give et solidt grundlag for den fremtidige udvidelse af projektet. Organisatorisk kapacitetsopbygning er afgørende for at sikre, at projektet har en stærk kerne i forhold til VU-YWCA-partnerskabet. Hovedaktiviteten er mentorseminarerne for en grundlæggende mentoruddannelse og genopdragelseskonferencerne, hvor mentorerne kommer til at blive uddannet.
Preparatory study In our future partnership project, we wish to build the activities on our experiences from our last pilot project where mainly members of PSRN-sc went to rural areas of Nepal to teach young people in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). The objectives of this preparatory study are to examine the opportunities of educating in SRHR to the same extent as we succeed in the pilot project. Other than that we wish to expand the teaching material with information about mental health and furthermore to investigate the possibility of reaching additional rural areas of Nepal.
Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights for Tanzanian youth and adolescents The aim of the Pilot Project is to ensure adequate education and awareness on sexual and re-productive health and rights (SRHR) amongst the youth and adolescents in Tanzania. The project applies a right?s based approach in combating the SRHR issues facing Tanzania, e.g. teen-age pregnancies, gender? based violence, high STI rates and gender inequality, by delivering comprehensive sexual education to five secondary schools in Dar Es Salaam. By strengthening the organizational capacity of TAMSA TAMIDA, e.g. training volunteers and conducting capacity building workshops, the project aims to break down these cultural taboos, raise awareness and thereby increase health and well-being among the Tanzanian youth. Through a progressive advocacy and communication strategy we are laying the ground for a change in the local and national mindset about SRHR.
A Community of Dialogue in Ukraine We are a volunteer group of Danish Ambassadors for Dialogue who as part of Silba want to explore the opportunities for working with dialogue in collaboration with Ukrainian youth. More than 10 years of experience and knowledge have been gained through DUF’s Ambassadors for Dialogue program in DUF and we would like to create a partnership and project building on all of this.   The current DUF project Ambassadors for Dialogue is an international partnership between DUF and three other youth organizations in Egypt, Jordan and Tunisia. The project was started with the aim of creating change after the Arab Spring. The aims of the AFD program are to foster a dialogical culture among youth in Denmark and the Arab world to implement in their daily lives and in corporations between youth in order to enhance mutual understanding across ethnic, religious, ideological, regional and other divides.  Whilst most of our work as facilitators of dialogue has been taking place in the Middle East, in 2021 we facilitated a dialogue workshop in Kiyv with UDYH - and we had planned to continue this work but had to pause this due to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. We are still very interested in exploring the possibilities for expanding this previous mentioned program into the EaP region, and thus it would be interesting to explore the possibilities of working with a youth organization in Ukraine.
Participation in ?Heavenly Days? in Herning (Dansk: Himmelske dage p? Heden) This network activity aims to give voice to Musalaha, that works with reconciliation and peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and give Musalaha representatives the possibility to experience a new form of conference/festival and hopefully also strengthen their network in Denmark. At the new conference called ?Himmelske Dage p? Heden? (Heavenly Days), which is a churchly counterpart to ?Folkem?det? in Allinge, we as partner organisation to Musalaha would like to give Musalaha a platform and a voice to advocate for peace and reconciliation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict also as another way then other voices that will be present at the conference.  At ?Himmelske Dage p? Heden? we will also seek possibilities for Musalaha to network and let our members meet with Musalaha. The conference will be ecumenical with many churches and organizations present. The conference will also include several seminars which will be of great interest for the participants from Musalaha for example a seminar about the Sustainable Development Goals.  The gain and learning from this network activity will thereby be two sided in many ways.
