Partner Identification: DSU and the Socialist Youth of Argentina This Partner Identification project will - if granted by DUF - take place in Buenos Aires and Rosario in Argentina. The primary goal of this partner identification is to investigate, if a future long term project partnership between DSU and the Socialist Youth of Argentina can be established.  DSU and the Socialist Youth of Argentina cooperate through the International Union of Socialist Youth (IUSY), of which both organizations are members. Delegates from DSU and the Socialist Youth of Argentina met at a IUSY conference in Tirana in Albania earlier this year, and from that the idea of a joint project partnership was born. Both organizations are part of the global democratic socialist movement and thus share core values such as equality, diversity, democratic participation and the fight against climate change.  During the partner identification study in Argentina, DSU and the Socialist Youth of Argentina will also meet with other Argentinian organizations that we can possibly work together with. During our preparations for this application, DSU and the Socialist Youth of Argentina agreed that a future project could focus on young people’s and women’s participation in Argentinian political life, which is why we will meet with movements working with these topics - primarily organizations with ties to the Argentinian labour movement.  Please notice: DSU’s South America Group has submitted two partnership identification applications for this deadline for the International Pool - Columbia and Argentina. Flying to South America is very expensive. 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.
4th IAAH MENA REGION ADOLESCENT HEALTH CONFERENCE The 4th IAAH MENA Region Adolescent Health Conference is is a major scientific event that brings together high caliber professionals from different countries and international organizations under one roof to enhance individual competencies, national capacity, and global investment in adolescent health, as well as catalyse local, regional and international connections between the multidisciplinary professionals who work with adolescents, the organizations that support them, and young people themselves. The conference will provide a unique opportunity for RESPEKT to engage with ASRH stakeholders from another regional and cultural context and enable project volunteers to share experiences and gain new insights into approaching ASRH.
Ambassadors for peace, projekt phase 111 The ambassadors for peace project is upscaling to its third phase targeting the rural communities of Seke and Murewa in Zimbabwe. The earlier phases of the project are sustainably reflected today in Goromonzi and Epworth where information desks and peace gardens are physically anchored and proving to be worthwhile dialogue spaces. This project is largely influenced by the past experiences in Goromonzi and Epworth, the existence of violence and political polarisation in Seke and Murewa and the level of commitment and willingness shown by the new group of Peace Ambassadors (PAs) from Seke and Murewa during the pilot project. The project strategy involves the establishment of peace clubs and peace gardens as community dialogue spaces that will be run by Peace Ambassadors with guidance from the foundational statutes and leadership that will be elected through the general assembly.  Goromonzi and Epworth peace ambassadors referred to herein and after as Pioneer Peace Ambassadors will continue to offer support through exchange visits and peer to peer engagements. The project will be two years long, with sustainability of the peace gardens and some of the peace clubs activities in year two. Towards the end of the project, Peace Ambassadors have sustained the peace garden and peace clubs and are working towards a joint statement which will be self evaluative in nature.
Youth Leadership Exchange Program 3.0 (YLEP) The youth leader exchange will support the implementation of two projects: 1) a CISU-funded project implemented by Kenya Red Cross (KRCS) and Danish Red Cross Youth (DRCY) focusing on capacitating youth to take lead on community development and 2) a Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA)-funded Urban Community Resilience Building (UCRB) project focusing on building long-term resilience for the most vulnerable communities in urban informal settlements. The two projects are implemented in Mukuru and Mathare informal settlements in Nairobi, with approximately 930,000 residents of which the vast majority are young people under 30 years. The informal settlements are highly underdeveloped with widespread poverty, insecurity, limited livelihood opportunities and access to social services. The YLEP will support the projects by strengthening the capacity of core KRCS youth volunteers to support local youth in Mukuru and Mathare to carry out relevant youth sessions, advocacy initiatives and awareness raising activities as well as raise their voice on youth issues.
Youth Volunteerism and Expansion of Democratic ideas VU seeks to find an international partner in Argentina to enhance volunteerism and participation in the local democracy. We have prior to our trip established contact with two potential partners, Coordinadora Grupo Joven Fundaci?n Libertad and Jovenes Libertad. Both organisations share democratic and liberal views and also the same goals regarding engaging the youth in active participation in local projects. We wish to establish a successful partnership with an argentine organization. We want a long-term partner that shares our vision and goals with an equal division of responsibility. The vision of our project is to contribute to a positive development amongst the argentine youth and spread ideas about democracy. We aim to strengthen the democratic participation with a specific focus on electoral participation and also participation of the youth in Argentine society. We are an organisation with great competences hence to international projects, therefore we hope to provide our partner with tools to work towards our common goal. We therefore hope that this partner identification trip will lead to long and prosperous projects between VU and our new partner.
Partner identification The objective in regard to the one-week project in Uganda is to evaluate a list of carefully selected organizations. We will evaluate their intregrity, organizational structure (e.g. how they direct their activities in order to achieve their goals), track record (for example success-rate of previous international projects), as well as whether or not they have the required documentation (state approval, tax papers, etc.) for conducting a sustainable project with us (see page eight for a list of investigative questions that will be asked to them). The proposed project will, among others, concern immigration, and how such as can be limited through education and by providing the neccesary tools for independent, sustainable growth. The educational element will also concern democracy, gender equality, human rights, as well as other essential matters. We are especially focused on assisting youth.
Girls project Many girls in Uganda are vulnerable and move to Lake Victoria where many end up in prostitution The local partner, Kamuzinda Community Outreach Association (KCOA), in Uganda has a big heart for those girls and want to start a girls project KCOA is an outreach centre that aims to help locals with sustainable farming and social work They have told us about a vision of connecting the farm with a project that can give these girls another chance One of our local partners said ?if you train a girl, you train the entire society, because girls have a lot to say in child rearing So we want the girls to see that they are important and give them the resource to speak up in their society? The purpose with the preparatory study is to examine if the project will be suitable as a pilot project, by researching about the girls and their needs and wishes We also want to network with locals who could be interested in volunteering in the project, look for possibilities to involve the local youth, find similar projects and see what we can learn from them Through the preparatory study we also want to compose a financial plan for the project and set up pros and cons by having the project on the demonstration farm
4H-RETZ Preparatory Study Søholm 4H and the Rural Enterprise Trust of Zimbabwe (RETZ) intends to conduct a Preparatory Study to design and prepare a future Pilot Project together in the fields that are relevant for both organizations’ work. The aim of the Pilot Project is to create youth-led activities for young people (15-35) living in rural communities that promote cooperation and active participation. And the main objectives are: •	to visit and explore the identified common project ideas for the future pilot project; •	 to analyze the needs for the future project and prepare a timetable for the Pilot Project; •	to co-develop the application documents for the Pilot Project. Through the Preparatory Study, the partner organizations will learn more about each other, share best practices and co-develop pilot project documents for submission after the study. It will involve 3 delegates from RETZ in Zimbabwe visiting Danish 4H in Denmark for a 5 day project including 2 travel days.
Investigating potential for greater youth involvement in partnership with IIMC Youth Council in Kolkata, India On this Partner Identification trip, three members of IMCC Indien plan to spend eight days in Kolkata, India, where they will explore the possibility of a future partnership with an organised group of young volunteers in the Youth Council of Indian Institute of Mother and Child (IIMC). We believe to be two very like-minded organizations as we have a shared vision of promoting equality, health and education in underprivileged communities. Through local youth involvement this partnership will work towards our common goal to increase access to education amongst the poor population in Kolkata thereby increasing health and equality. During this initial trip IMCC Indien will investigate the role and resources of the IIMC Youth Council to establish the framework for a healthy, equal partnership by exploring our organizations’ compatibility through an honest discussion about our purpose and values, so that we may write a partnership agreement upon our return to Denmark.
Project Y Project Y is about strengthening the capacity of youth to take on leadership to end teenage pregnancies in selected districts in Uganda. It will target youth-led (leader is below 30 years) grass roots organizations and empower them to manage their organizations progressively and sustainably. The project will involve training volunteers in selected youth-led grassroot organizations (community based - CBO) in organizational development, volunteerism, advocacy, gender, democracy, health and lifestyle and economic empowerment. The project will train, equip six (6) youth-led organizations that are part of the Youth Livelihoods Development Company (YLDC) youth structure to manage their activities sustainably so that they are able to reach out to other young people (villages and schools) with youth programs and activities so that these youngsters improve their capacity to make informed decisions about their wellbeing and end teenage pregnancies.
Partnership development with LDLU We have already done a pilot project with our partner organization LDLU, and now wish to develop our internal partnership to form a more transparent working process The main objective is to have LDLU form an official project group separated from the top management of the organisation, and work with them to form the visions of our future cooperation Therefore, the target group is also members of LDLU, and specifically the project group The main activity is a three day workshop in Copenhagen, with the entire project group, consisting of all project group members from VU, RU and LDLU The aim of the workshops is both to get to know each other better, discuss visions for our countries and for our specific work together, as well as discussing how we best cooperate internally and make the strongest impact on Ukrainian society
From Streets to Stories: Youth in Focus Our initiative centres around a one-time print edition of a youth-led newspaper in informal settlements Mukuru and Mathare, Nairobi. This endeavour serves as a dual purpose, firstly, contributing to youth empowerment and secondly, cultural exchange, thus we are seeking funding to support this engagement activity. In addition, we would like to foster a cultural understanding and connection with Danish high school students, by using the  newspaper as learning-material. The entire initiative is youth-led, ensuring that young individuals themselves are at the forefront of shaping their narratives and experiences. By facilitating their ability to tell their own stories and  by promoting cultural exchange, we are empowering them to be both storytellers and ambassadors of change.
Partnership development project: Learning to be in an international partnership This partnership development project will be an important opportunity for the volunteers in each project group to meet, and increase their knowledge on what it means to engage in an international partnership Due to cultural differences between the partner organisations and the amount of new volunteers in both groups, there is a significant need for matching our expectations to each other in regards to our respective roles in the partnership and our pilot project Therefore, we wish to address our current problems by conducting activities to further our understanding of each other?s organizations, cultures and political contexts, as well as our mutual understanding of the partnership and our project, to ensure the sustainability of our partnership
Empowerment of young Syrian Refugees in Lebanon The aim of this project is to start a club that will serve as a safe place for the vulnerable youth in the area of Bourj Hammoud. The target group is around 70 youth primarily from Syria and Lebanon in the age group 13 to 18 years old. The activities of the club include chill time where youth can have coffee together, play board games and socialize with youth their own age. The club also includes classes e.g. music, language and IT that allow the youth to acquire new skills, and two excursions that will build team spirit among the youths. Furthermore, a summer camp that will include three workshops will address the crosscutting requirements: volunteerism, gender equality and children and young people's influence. All the above-mentioned activities will benefit the youth�s personal, professional and societal lives, and thus improve their capacities to influence their local society in a positive way.
Establishing basis for creating an educational system in youth politics that promotes democracy and respect for citizen rights. The purpose of the preparatory study is to take the initial steps in order to create a well functioning and lasting educational system within the CHADEMA youth wing (BAVICHA), so that the organisation will deliver well cultured and politically sharp individuals into society, both in civil life as well as in the political sphere. In a country such as Tanzania, where the youth has a harder time gaining influence than in most European countries, there is a need for increasing BAVICHA?s ability to let young men and women seek influence locally and on a national level. Furthermore we would like to establish connections with other youth wings from Tanzania.
Danish Zimbabwean Student Partnership 2020-2022 The partnership between DSF and ZINASU was initiated in 2014 and strengthens both organisations' international network, and enhances cultural humility and intercultural learning It furthers political agendas through peer learning, collaboration and solidarity engagement through for example individual and group capacity building and development oriented workshops, information sharing and exchange of experiences With this Partnership Project we wish to continue the partnership, as the partnership allows for working with problems with educational equality, student rights and students? living conditions   The overarching aim is to maintain and develop meaningful youth engagement and mutually beneficial partnership to advance for enhanced quality education and subsequently promote active citizenship, general life conditions for the youth and students and organisational capacities and resilience building
70th International Federation of Medical Students  Associations(IFMSA) August Meeting General  Assembly in PANAMA. The IFMSA August meeting is one of the biggest youth-led events with more than 1000 delegates from all over the world. It takes place twice a year to engage youth in matters of global health. It features training, workshops, and serves as a network platform for medical students worldwide to learn, discuss, and exchange knowledge. MEDSAR and IMCC are all members of IFMSA. MEDSAR hosted the IFMSA March Meeting 2020 1 year ago in Kigali, Rwanda. Since then, all other IFMSA meetings were held virtually due to COVID19 pandemic. This August meeting will have a hybrid format where some delegates will attend virtually. During the network activity, we aim to acquire skills about organizational recovery from COVID19 pandemic, capacity building from different sessions, Meeting our partners from IMCC, and presenting the outcomes of a recently finalized partnership project called YEAN Project. In addition to that we will get an opportunity to learn from projects running in other National Member organizations(NMOs), network and exchange knowledge and culture. At the end of this networking activity, we will gain the knowledge to sustain our organization, run an upcoming partnership project (Youth Education Activities on Sexual and Reproductive Health project, YEASRH) and share the experience gained to the rest of medical students in our organization.We will also acquire skills and experience to host our upcoming international events, namely SCORA exchanges amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
YWCA National Youth Forum Forum. Hence, the aim of a pilot project is threefold. First of all, the convention will prove to the young people that they - in spite of age and gender - have a say and an ability to make an impact, it will be an opportunity to build capacity and learn organization skills, and it be a way for the Danish group to gain further understanding of the organisation with which we hope to initiate a long and lasting partnership.
Partnership Identification BBU 2020 In the upcoming summer 2021 Baptisternes B?rne- og ungdomsforbund plans to carry out Partnership Identification in Myanmar. The purpose of the trip is to investigate the possibility of forming a partnership with New Life Center, which is an orphanage for youths located in Kalaymyo.  The organization is supported by New Life Center Support group in Denmark from whom we became aware of the goals and visions of NLC. We find that some of the goals and visions are in close relation to BBU vision of making youth strong and independent individuals for the society and leaders for the future. The potential fruit of this trip is to get an in-depth knowledge of the expectations, values and goals that we have in common and how this will lay as a foundation for future partnership through DUF international.
Mentoring as a way forward Through a collaboration that exploits the best of both organizations, YWCA of Zambia & VU wants toestablish a mentorship programme. The aim of the pilot project is therefore to teach young people, whose lives have hitherto been difficult, that they, too, are worthy and capable of becoming part of society. The mentorship program will initially take place in a youth center chosen in collaboration between the two organizations. Whereas the core activity will therefore be to facilitate mentoring sessions, other activities include developing the mentor guidelines as well as recruiting and educating mentors. Moreover, the pilot project is tightly connected to DUF�s development triangle as its core focus is mentoring sessions for children and young people. Moreover, it will build organizational capacity for YWCA, strengthening ties to youth centers in need. Finally, the program will strengthen the young people�s capacity to express their needs, ambitions, and hopes for the future. The pilot project will take place between January & July 2022 and will be strengthened by the capacity and presence of local as well as Danish Youth leaders.
KU & BAVICHA - Movement4Change KU and BAVICHA have a successful history of working together, and now we are ready to take the next steps in our cooperation with this partnership project. In 2024 BAVICHA is going to host their big national congress that takes place every fifth year. Here, they are going to elect a new national leadership for the next five years. This also set some new demands for the next leadership because they are going to face new challenges. On a regional and local level BAVICHA is going to change the leadership more frequently. In a country with many different cultures and a struggling democracy it is important that you develop some skills, so you know how to deal with these issues. This project however has a focus on conflict management, organizational building, and empowering young women in politics in Tanzania.
Next Step - The role of the Youth Committee This partnership development project (PDP) shall seek to build on previous partnership achievements where we, among other things, set up a Straight Talk Foundation Youth committee, and this time we need to clarify how the newly appointed STF Youth Committee can build a stronger organizational structure of youth influence in Straight talk Foundation programs. We also want to find out how the STF Youth Committee can get a stable financial basis for its activities. Furthermore, we want to clarify the organizational relation between The STF youth committee and the Danish youth project group Sl?nget, among this e.g. communication and support. We want to strengthen our partnership with relevant mutual inspiration and support, exchange of ideas and proposals and effective communication between the STF Youth Committee and the Danish youth project group Sl?nget
Zambian Adolescent Girls Advocacy - ZAMGA Gender discrimination and violence towards adolescent girls remains both a social and cultural challenge in Zambia. We believe that the legal system, if used well, could help protect vulnerable girls and women from such challenges. However, like in most developing African countries, poverty and lack of financial resources pose a huge challenge in accessing legal help. Children?s rights in general, and girl?s rights in specific, still face great threats. Of primary concern are early marriage, corporal punishment, child labor, forced marriage, adolescent pregnancies - just to mention a few.  Sexually and physically abused adolescent girls lack the proper psychological or health follow-up. Lack of basic education or community outreach programs aimed at vulnerable adolescent girls, leaves these girls with no place to seek help. Availability and accessibility to such youth projects and community outreach programs, will give these girls the second chance they need.
Youth first ? what is next? The Partnership Development aims to make AFCD and R:UD able of making a future cooperation stronger by making a shared partnership agreement based with a specific focus on mobilization of youth and gender equalization. At the same time we have good experience with the pilot project and will discuss the possibility of expand the program to other cities that have the same characteristic as Ait Ourir (far from city centre). The target group is the board of AFCD including some of the youth who has been participating in existing activities and key persons from other cities.
