The National Coalition for Youth Work has been formed!
The National Coalition for Youth Work❗ has been formed.
On March 27 in Lublin we met hybrid for the first time in a wider group of more than 20 people representing community organizations, local governments and universities! Together we want to bring about the regulation of youth work in the country and introduce the term into Polish law. The symbolic cradle of this initiative is the European Youth Capital 2023 Lublin🙌.
We believe that together we can effectively realize a vision in which a young person is a subject, not an object of discussion and activities of NGOs, local governments and state institutions, which by treating him/her as a partner promote his/her well-being, development and participation in social and civic life according to his/her needs. A key tool for realizing this vision is the systemic organization of youth work or “youthwork” at all levels of public administration in cooperation with the non-governmental sector.
The founders of the Coalition are 3 expert organizations that have been cooperating supporting youth for years: Europe4Youth Association , EBU Foundation and us - Sempre a Frente Foundation, but the group also includes the City of Lublin, the City of Cracow, the Youth Secretariat of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship or Impakt from Kielce, as well as other organizations and institutions, guided by the values of subjectivity and partnership in working with youth from all over the country.
You are cordially invited to join us: pracazmlodziezawpl@gmail.com
Our initiative is supported by the Ombudsman for Children Monika Horna-Cieślak and the Polish Council of Youth Organizations PROM.
Together we can make systemic changes, improve the situation of young people and opportunities to support them in Poland. This is just the beginning!🚀
