Methodological Guide – Youth For Change

Introduction

The following methodological description was prepared within the framework of the Youth For Change program, implemented by the Autonómia Foundation and the Association of Caritas Alba Iulia, and it was based on the project`s objectives, methods, as well as the experiences and results gained during the process. Within the framework of this initiative, we worked with high school students from different backgrounds in six cities in Hungary and Romania in order to implement creative and community actions along social topics that interested them. During the process, the skills and social perspectives of both the young people directly involved and the peers they reached through their activities developed and shaped. This material was created based on a series of workshops implemented with the participation of our colleagues who worked directly with young groups, as well as professional materials, plans and reports prepared during the program.

We hope that the comprehensive approach of the methodology and its individual elements can provide inspiration and support to other professionals, be they teachers, youth workers, or representatives of institutions and organizations targeting young people. We hope that in their work they will promote social inclusion, the active citizenship of young people, and the experience that getting to know each other, planning and creating together, and having an impact on their environment can be an attractive and joyful experience for the current generation.
