Day of Democracy The partner organisation is the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS). The destination is Accra, the capital of Ghana. NUGS is the main representative body of students, including the ones equivalent to the students represented by EEO in Denmark. The goal is to test the applicability of the project in local vocational schools.  The overall purpose of the project is to initiate democratic thinking in vocational schools in Ghana and to inspire engagement with democracy. It’s important to engage students in democracy and to promote political thought, therefore we are seeking a partnership for our project on day of democracy in Ghana. The goal of our project is to plan and hold the day of democracy at local vocational schools, inspired by DUFs “Demokratiets Dag”. In collaboration with NUGS we will develop a concept tailored for vocational schools in Ghana. We believe that it’s essential to have engaging workshops that are relevant for the students we are trying to reach. The idea is to bring democracy to the students and make it relevant to them. When the material and the concept is ready, we will coordinate the events with local schools and / or relevant authorities.   The purpose of the partnership identification is to: 1)  Explore whether NUGS and EEO are compatible for a collaborative project, develop the partnership and discuss a partnership agreement for further work on the project. Another benefit of the partnership identification is establishing more mutual knowledge on the organisations and to establish a bond between the volunteers from EEO and NUGS. Furthermore, we wish to tailor the project to suit our expectations along with the expectations from our partner organisation, and make sure it has the impact we strive for. Therefore, the overall project may change after the partnership identification.  2) Test the practical application of the events as a proof of concept in Ghana. We intend to practise and facilitate workshops with the volunteers from NUGS to inspire them. Following the workshop, we will evaluate the concept and make adjustments to suit the best practices for the project.

The first is aiming at understanding academic freedom based on peer and intercultural learning, information sharing, and research. The second is aiming at exposing our understanding through a social media campaign and reaching out to key stakeholders such as the ministry of education and to our primary target group which is university students.

Youths saving lives in Lebanon When catastrophe strikes or conflict occurs in Lebanon and people are in need of an ambulance it is most likely young volunteers who will turn up to help. The country is in many ways in ruin and when it comes to first aid services like ambulances, it is at this stage up to young volunteers to help. However these young people are themselves challenged in a country where their opportunities are continuously being limited .   In a cooperation between Danish Red Cross in Lebanon (DRC Lebanon), Lebanese Red Cross (LRC) and Operation Dagsværk we want to give these young people an opportunity  to make a change for themselves in a crisis afflicted country. Therefore, we at Operation Dagsværk want to conduct a preparatory study for our next project in Lebanon. The project will be carried out in Cooperation with Danish Red Cross in Lebanon with the purpose to visit the Lebanese Red Cross and their young volunteers who run the ambulance service across the country.  The Danish Red Cross (DRC) and Danish Red Cross Youth (DRCY) will be the Danish intermediates and partners securing the Danish link between OD and LCR.   In this pilot study Danish volunteers will visit LCR and the Lebanese youths volunteering as first responders in the ambulance service across the country.  The purpose of the study is to investigate the challenges that these volunteers face in a country that is going through exceptionally many difficulties and to bring these stories back to Denmark. Through workshops and frequent visits to the ambulance services, where they will follow the evening and weekend shifts, the Danish and Lebanese youths agree on which stories should be told to the 50 000 students in Denmark who will learn about the project.   The pilot project will eventually lead to the annual Action Day in which Danish Pupils in solidarity with the Lebanese volunteers will collect money to improve and better the youth voluntary emergency service in Lebanon .
