LJP 3.0

About this project

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">The project "LJP 3.0" aims to organize activities to strengthen youth NGOs' role in Latvian society. The project will include media campaign to promote the visibility and public image of youth organizations; advocacy activities, achieving a favorable environment for the actions of youth NGO`s; meeting with local governments in Latvia, providing recommendations for supporting the youth work and youth NGOs; think tanks in the regions of Latvia, promoting youth activism and involvement in youth NGO`s, as well as organized training for the organization`s member organizations.&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">While decision-making seems to become more open to society, opaque decision-making is still seen that ignores or abandons civil society's views. This negative experience is also felt by young people and youth organizations, which is why with this project we want to promote the role of the youth sector in society, promote youth growth, understand the importance of participation and involvement in decision-making processes, to highlight the role of youth in tackling the challenges that arise.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">We expect that the project will promote the visibility of youth field and organizations in Latvian society, and decisions affecting the youth field will be influenced, thereby creating a more favorable environment for youth organizations in Latvia. More young people will be educated on the opportunities offered by youth activists and youth organizations, thereby contributing to their involvement in civil society activities.&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">The project target group is comprehensive: society, local and national decision-makers, youth organizations, and young people. Youth organizations and young people will benefit most directly from the implementation of the project, as we anticipate that youth decisions will be affected during the project.&nbsp;</span></span></p>
