Governance for Youth, new project for KOGED
|
KOGED is one of the partners in Gençlik ve Proje Derneği (GEPED)’s new project "Governance for Youth". The project has kicked off recently and is funded by Kocaeli Council Local Support Fund (YEDEP). It is to be implemented in partnership with Kocaeli City Council, Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality and KOGED. The 5-month project aims to enable young people to get involved in the decisions taken by local administrators, to let them explain their own problems and/or ideas and to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to participate in the administration. Various activities will be implemented in cooperation with local governments, universities and non-governmental organisations in Kocaeli within the scope of the project. The overall aim is the development of young people in the fields of active citizenship and participation in the local government.
In addition to the planned trainings in order to increase the knowledge and awareness of young people in the fields of active citizenship and participation in administration , workshops will be organised with the aim of enabling the partners&participants gain experience in identifying the local problems of the youth in Kocaeli, expressing them appropriately and producing solutions. |
