A Project to build your Community
We are living in an age of political extremism, hate speech and division, fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a lack of social sharing and speaking. For this we created the YMM project, a way for young people to connect, share ideas and strenght the democratic processes in all Europe.
We find it crucial to engage, connect and empower young people in the democratic processes at the local and European level. Young people are the future, thus we wish to encourage them in peacebuilding and community processes. We believe that civil society and youth organizations play an important role in resolving existing tensions between communities and promoting peace, establishing dialogue between conflict sides, turning frustration and radical ideas into constructive actions by applying innovative experience and methods from different countries.
The project aims to empower young people to become to take an active role in finding sustainable solutions to social problems by learning and cooperating with youth from different background across Europe and acting on local, international and digital level.
Association from 7 different countries will provide the one year training for young community leaders of different backgrounds that will help organize at the local level and draft a manifesto that will be shared with the main decision-makers.
