Project details:

One of the most important tasks of the hosting organisation is to inform and to educate young people about their opportunities to participate in different programmes and activities, as well to help them to realize themselves as part of Europe. We believe that the best way how to show this is with a real example – a story from the persons, who have experienced some of the opportunities and who can share their experiences and cultural backgrounds are better understandable than just a theory. For this reason we are planning to offer EVS volunteers to share their experience and point of view with other young people in Georgia.

The field of civil society

Volunteers will be also involved in raising awareness of active citizenship and civil society among young people. Volunteers will participate in creating and developing The Youth Parliament of Ozurgeti which will be an educational project designed especially for young people of Ozurgeti (Guria region). The Youth Parliament of Ozurgeti will function as a forum for discussion and exchange of ideas between young people. The Youth Parliament will provide a good opportunity for young people to share their opinions and to improve their capabilities to articulate and represent their interest.

The main aims of The Youth Parliament will be to: raise awareness of local issues among young people, promote and build civil society, promote democratic values and contribute to the personal skills development. The Youth Parliament will also encourage young people to implement their initiatives and will help them learning of social and professional skills. Young people will also learn about the workings of democracy. Volunteers will help in the creation of The Youth Parliament of Ozurgeti. Using their experience and knowledge, volunteers will help in organization of election to the new parliament, will provide necessary information for members of the parliament and will take care of functioning of the parliament at all. The Youth Parliament of Ozurgeti should become an advisory body to local authorities on young people’s issues.

It will be also a place for discussion and exchange of opinions. Volunteers will prepare meetings, presentations and lectures about human rights and topics for discussion.
