ended

In Georgia and Armenia, the new generations need support as they find themselves in a situation of vulnerability due to natural and human factors. The volunteers will join two volunteering teams lasting 42 days each, during the summer period of 2024 (from May to August) composed of 20 participants each. The project will enforce collaboration among EU and Non-EU based organizations. The organizations involved are: Amaita Intercultura (coordinating organization and applicant, Italy), Intercultura (France), KIEC European Club (Ukraine), Georgian Youth for Europe (Georgia) and Youth Initiative Center NGO (Armenia). In Georgia with the partner Georgian Youth for Europe, activities related to the support of ecological migrant communities and vulnerable young people will be implemented in the villages of Gumbati and Kveda Pona, which undergone profound social changes related to the arrival of ecological migrants from the regions of Adjara and Svaneti as consequence of numerous natural disasters. In line with the priorities of the call for 2023, the project's activities will support the communities of ecological migrants through agricultural activities in the bio-farming social enterprise of Kveda Pona and cultural and educational activities aimed at the local youth for them to acquire new skills and improve personal development. In Armenia with the local partner Youth Initiative Center NGO, the project activities aim to support young Armenians through educational activities organized during summer camps for the promotion of mental health, peace, equal opportunities and human rights. Armenia, like Ukraine, has been facing in the course of many years a difficult political situation linked to the conflict with Azerbaijan. The activities respond directly to the priorities of the call for 2023 as they aim at supporting the young generations affected both directly and indirectly by the consequences of conflict and promote solidarity and personal development of young people.
