Proposals Youth Advocacy from March, 2013
Pakistan: Pak-Afghan Youth Libraries
In the border areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan, acute lack of any sports and recreational activities and facilities such as playgrounds and infrastructure for indoor sports has also increased the vulnerability of youth and adolescents. Through this project, organize establish and Up-grade library centres at “Youth Sport and Learning Centres” (construed by BRSP in Pak-Aghan border areas) with the support of Youth Lead Groups.
Kenya: iTELL Youth Project
iTELL Kenya is requesting funds to purchase ICT equipment to host a series of workshops to train Changamwe youth in the use of technology to share local events/issues/personal stories. Participants will receive ongoing support from iTELL Kenya to aid in their personal and professional development. This project will empower Changamwe youth to develop online methods of self-expression and increase self-confidence and community involvement.
Mongolia: Outside Looking In – Our Lives Through Our Eyes
We are proposing to train a group of 10 youth in digital video and photography media tools, to create and experiment with different formats such as documentary and self-portrait styles. Through our series of workshops we will support the youth to explore, critique and shape a relevant social message. The project will involve learning about different kinds of media distribution strategies, including social media and community exhibitions.
