#Cidadania (#Citizenship)

About this project

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">The #cidadania project aims to promote democratic participation and active citizenship in youth through training the production of a toolkit and training courses in education for citizenship for facilitators, raising awareness in youth for civic participation by involving them in workshops, campaigns, voluntary work, community initiatives and meetings, boosting their levels of adherence to public decision-making processes, and by recognising and valuing their involvement and active participation through the #YouthCitizenship award.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">The Norwegian partner will contribute to the facilitators’ toolkit, deliver one of the editions of the training for educators, and create a human rights campaign to be used as a resource in the work with the schools.</span></span></p>

Bilateral cooperation results

Through a partnership with the Human Rights Academy (HRA), professionals were trained in Human Rights, and a chapter on this topic was added to the "Connected by #Citizenship" manual. This collaboration allowed for the exchange of knowledge and experiences between Portugal and Norway. The HRA also shared a successful Human Rights campaign and distributed the translated manual to Norwegian schools as a teaching tool for Citizenship.
