The project “Think, Do, Influence” is aimed at young people’s development of critical thinking, civic participation, and practical skills, helping young people better understand the challenges of modern society and actively engage in addressing them. The project’s target audience is young people aged 15 to 30, including newcomers and young people who have so far been less involved in civic activities. During the project, young people are given the opportunity not only to gain new knowledge, but also to discuss, share experiences, practically solve various situations and jointly look for ways to create positive changes in society.
We have successfully implemented the first four project activities:
- On April 6, we discussed women’s rights, gender equality, and the importance of equal opportunities in modern society, looking for solutions to create a more inclusive environment.
- On April 19, we explored the importance of environmental protection, a sustainable lifestyle, and everyday choices that help take care of our planet.
- On May 16, we talked about emotional well-being, stress, the importance of mental health, and ways to take care of our own and others’ health.
- On June 27, we visited the SENSORIUM museum accompanied by blind guides to better understand the experience of people with visual impairments and the importance of an inclusive society.
How do the activities take place?
- inspiring experience stories;
- discussions with industry specialists;
- practical tasks and situation simulations;
- joint creation of an educational video or informational materials.
