“Empowering young people from disadvantaged backgrounds through podcasting, media literacy, and soft skills for civic and political participation”
HESED is excited to announce its participation in Window Youth project together with TwoPlusTwo, Action Synergy, Asociația de Initiative si Proiecte Pentru Tineret Imago Mundi, Universidad de Sevilla, Velos Youth and Volonteurope.
This project is part of the European youth together 2023 call and seeks to strengthen the active role of the new generations and more specifically of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds in the processes of civic and political life.
The general objective of the project is to empower disadvantaged youth through trainings on hard skills, soft skills and media literacy to use podcasts as a tool in their local contexts in order to increase their civic engagement and political participation.
The specific objectives of the project are:
- To build the capacity of young people, youth workers/trainers and youth organisations to use podcasts as a tool in order to increase the political engagement of their target group;
- To increase the participation of young men and women as agents of change in the political life through creation and dissemination of podcasts;
- To augment the use of podcast spaces for communicating the voice of disadvantaged young men and women as agents of change in politics at community, regional, national and international levels through.
Window Youth has two main target groups:
- Trainers/facilitators/youth workers who are working with young people with fewer opportunities from disadvantaged backgrounds;
- Young people with fewer opportunities from disadvantaged backgrounds .
However, in order to ensure the dissemination and sustainability of the project, it is also going to include local authorities, NGOs and media organizations.
