Partner Identification Kenya In November 2022 we visited Labour Party Kenya Youth Congress (LPKYC) as part of a Partner Identification. Since the trip, we have explored the opportunities for a potential project. We decided that we wanted to broaden out the target group for our project.  To do so, we reached out to Siasa Place, which is an organisation that we shortly visited during the Partner Identification Trip. We also reached out to Leaders for Leaders Champion Organization (LLCO), where one of the project group members met with one from the organisation during PARTICIPATE 2022. In January we set up meetings with the different organisations to learn more about them, their values, and their work. We also discussed whether there would be a foundation for a potential project between the four of our organisations, which we believe there is. During the partner identification we want to meet with Siasa Place, LLCO and LPKYC to further investigate a future project, learn more about the context of a given project, and see how our organisations could work together on a specific project. We will also get to know the organisations, their values, and their capacities more. All of this will assist with laying the cornerstones for a potential preparatory study and hopefully future project collaboration.
Partner Identification between Youth association of Natural Science Denmark (UNF) and Livid open Lab UNF have been introduced to Lviv Open Lab, when the two members were in Denmark with the Danish/Ukraine house. Here we discovered we had numerous mutual interests.  The purpose of Lviv Open Lab is to inspire the youth in Lviv to natural science by the use of experiments and after one exercise. UNF�s purpose is to spread the interest in the natural sciences to the youth in Denmark. UNF has many years of experience with science activities such as sciencecamps, workshops, evening lectures, field trips etc.  The purpose of the Partner Identification is to get a better understanding between our two organisations, and from this learn how we can work together to promote the natural Sciences, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) to the youth in both Ukraine and in Denmark.    Another reasons for doing the collaboration is to exchange experience and strength and in the future collaborate on a bigger project, for example a sciencecamp with participants from both Lviv and Denmark.
Zambian Adolescent Girls Advocacy - ZAMGA The purpose of the preparatory study is to develop and prepare a pilot project together with our new partner organization, Tambwe Legcay Foundation. The objectives will be to lay out a detailed timeline for the pilot project, as well as share knowledge on effectient methods to develop and finalize the pilot project together. The project is entitled Zambian Adolescent Girls Advocacy, hereafter called ZAMGA. Together with Tambwe Legacy Foundation, we intend to focus on an advocacy project whose objective is to empower, promote and campaign for the basic human rights of adolescent girls in Zambia. We chose to focus on adolescent girls as our taget group, because they are the most stigmatised,vulnerable and discriminated youth group in Zambia. They are denied education, are victims of forced marriage, physical and/or psychological abuse. One of our main objectives are to: - Empower adolescent girls with tools and ressources necessary to make informed decisions - Promote the rights of adolescent girls in their local communitities - Influence local stakeholders such as churches, schools, clinics and different private and government institutions into actively taking a stand against gender-based inequality
Shabaabs x Jordan The destination for our Partner Identification is Jordan. Here, we want to collaborate with a partner organization to create a project that engages young refugees in the surrounding community, strengthens their skills and resources, and helps them establish a network with other young people. In Jordan we will meet up with three organizations: Leaders of Tomorrow, 7Hills and Ruwwad. The three organizations have been chosen, since we share the same visions for society and field work built on youth, civic participation. Beside the three organizations, we will also visit other relevant contacts in Amman to obtain further information about the local community and the needs among young refugees in Jordan.

Sonar Music Sydafrika - Projekt identifikation Youth For Christ Denmark aims to launch a partner identification process. The potential organizations are: 1. Youth For Christ, South Africa. 2. iThemba Projects, South Africa. 3. TruLife, South Africa. All three mentioned organizations have the following similarities with our danish organization: 1. They are all registered non-profit organizations in South Africa. 2. They all work with a primary focus on children and young people. 3. They have all existed fo rmany years and show potential to have the capacity to complete the project. 4. They all work in a non-discriminatory way. 5. They seem to function in a democratic way, but this is our main focus for the pilot project. We hope to embark on a pilot project that will focus primarily on democratic organizational development.

IMUNZI IMUZNI er et partnerskabsprojekt, der blev startet i 2014. Projektet består af tre organisationer: United Children of Africa (UNICA), Zimbabwean Medical Students Association (ZiMSA) og International Medical Coorporation Comittee (IMCC). Vi arbejder med at skabe awareness omkring HIV/AIDS samt unges mentale sundhed generelt, herunder emner som stigmatisering, diskriminering, ensomhed og depression.  Undervisningen foregår som peer-to-peer undervisning, hvor medicinstuderende fra de tre største byer i Zimbabwe tager til Victoria Falls og underviser de lokale unge (Youth Ambassadors) i at undervise andre børn og unge i lokalområdet.

In its modified form, it has become a double-pronged project that still emphasizes on HIV awareness, but also focuses on mental health disorders related to HIV with the view of improving the health of youth in Zimbabwe. While continuing with peer to peer education, boot camps, sports tournaments and workshops, the partners will work with relevant authorities to strengthen their partnership and work towards a common goal.

Network Activity - YAT visit to Youth Democracy Festival We, in the SLYP-YAT partnership are at a crucial point in our cooperation. We have recently recruited a new team of peace ambassadors to the project who represent a new generation with new visions for Zimbabwe. Our coming partnership project will incorporate their ideas directly into the project design. But with this project we are entering both a new field of work and new ways of cooperating. Therefore we would like to invite two representatives from YAT to come to Denmark in the beginning of September. During their stay they will take part in the Youth Democracy Festival (Ungdommens Folkem?de) to learn about youth organisations in Denmark more broadly. Their knowledge might leveraged in the coming project. They will take part in Ungdommens Folkm?des international programme and build a network of organisations working with democracy festivals globally.

We hope that meeting face to face and seeing the facilities, meeting the people and talking about values, dreams and desires for a potential future project will help us identify whether or not we are a good match. Hopefully, meeting with the young people and the leaders will create a clearer vision and a good foundation for an international partnership.

Supporting Zimbabwe?s Young Voters Silba, Kloop, and YETT are establishing a partnership project to facilitate civil and voters? rights in Zimbabwe, through the mobilisation of youth volunteers to observe the national harmonised elections anticipated to take place in August 2023. Through this project, we will adapt Kloop?s online election observation platform - GigaTurnip -  to the Zimbabwean context, and train hundreds of volunteers in using it.

The observers will document electoral misconduct on the inside (ballot stuffing, violation of the secrecy of voting, etc.) and outside (voter bussing, vote buying, voter intimidation, etc). The results of the election mission will be published in real-time with the help of GigaTurnip, available for stakeholders, voters, civil society, and the international community, and disseminated to the public in Zimbabwe with the cooperation of local media networks. Our mission will help make the Zimbabwean authorities accountable for their democratic standards, increasing transparency.
