PERSPEКTIVE ZA MLADE U RURALNIM SREDINAMA U SRBIJI
Period trajanja projekta: 11/2021 – 10/2024
Izazov
Mladi u ruralnim sredinama u Srbiji teško mogu da ostvare svoj pun potencijal u okviru zajednice. Imaju ograničene mogućnosti da aktivno učestvuju u oblikovanju svog ekonomskog, političkog, socijalnog i kulturnog okruženja. Zbog ovakvih izazova mladi često odlaze u gradove ili inostranstvo. Takođe, različiti faktori utiču na proces ekonomske i socijalne reintegracije onih koji se vrate svojim domovima. Ovo je naročito izraženo kada je reč o osetljivim grupama.
Pristup
Cilj projekta je da zajedno sa mladima u ruralnim sredinama unapredi njihove ekonomske, socijalne i kulturne perspektive. Projekat je namenjen mladima od 18 do 30 godina starosti i do 40 godina u slučaju osetljivih grupa kao što su povratnici, mlade žene i etničke manjine.
Naš pristup podrazumeva:
- podsticanje i osnaživanje mladih ljudi kroz konsultacije da preuzmu odgovornost za okruženje u kojem žive.
- finansiranje inicijativa koje imaju za cilj poboljšanje kvaliteta života u zajednicama.
- podršku pristupima za poboljšanje ekonomskih perspektiva.
- izgradnju kapaciteta za primenu instrumenata u lokalnim zajednicama pomoću kojih se lakše identifikuju potrebe mladih i obezbeđivanje njihovog aktivnog učešća u procesima donošenja odluka u lokalnim politikama.
Rezultati
- 128 mladih ljudi iz 8 pilot regiona učestvovalo je na 5 letnjih kampova i steklo veštine za aktivno učešće i liderstvo.
- Na kampovima su razvili 22 ideje za poboljšanje kvaliteta života u svojoj zajednici koje će biti finansirane kroz lokalne fondove za mlade koji se sprovode u saradnji sa 7 organizacija civilnog društva.
- U saradnji sa Nacionalnom asocijacijom praktičara i praktičarki omladinskog rada (NAPOR) biće obučeno 24 omladinska radnika/ce i do 48 omladinskih lidera/ki.
- U vodećoj ulozi omladinskih lidera/ki, omladinskih radnika/ca i u saradnji sa ključnim lokalnim akterima, mladi će aktivno učestvovati u projektovanju, donošenju odluka i sprovođenju lokalnih politika i njihovom povezivanju sa nacionalnim prioritetima. 13 lokalnih samouprava u 10 pilot regiona iskazalo je interesovanje za dalju saradnju.
- U narednoj fazi, mladi u odabranim pilot regionima će dobiti priliku da steknu neophodna znanja i veštine, da dobiju podršku za pristup finansijama i novim tržištima, kao i da se umreže sa ciljem da diversifikuju svoje mogućnosti za ostvarivanje prihoda, pre svega u oblasti (organske) poljoprivrede i seoskog turizma.
Projekat “Perspektive za mlade u ruralnim sredinama u Srbiji” u okviru Nemačke razvojne saradnje sprovodi GIZ u partnerstvu sa Ministarstvom omladine i sporta Republike Srbije.
