Beskrivelse
CONNECT & CHANGE is a European Solidarity Corps project hosted by the Botosani County Youth Foundation (FJTBT) at Casa Tineretului, its Youth Center in Botosani, north-eastern Romania. Alongside local volunteers and youth workers, international volunteers carry out activities under four objectives. (1) Youth center: information and counseling for young people, career and study guidance, surveys and focus groups on young people's needs, sustainability and environmental workshops, youth-led projects. (2) Civic engagement: civic education sessions, public debates, campaigns and community events, support for youth councils, initiative groups and solidarity projects. (3) Media literacy: workshops on recognizing fake news and disinformation, fact-checking, youth journalism and media campaigns. (4) Solidarity: promoting volunteering and European Solidarity Corps values in schools, small towns and rural areas, together with local partners.
