Raising awareness and active involvement of young people with regard to development issues of the modern world” project.
The high school students in Bucharest were thus informed about global development issues and Post-2015 Development Agenda and enthusiastically participated within all the activities. The teenagers discussed the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, prepared dedicated materials and posters and delivered presentations on themes such as globalization, human rights and tolerance, access to education, poverty, climate change and hunger.
Within the seminars, the youngsters perfectly understood and showed that global change does in fact start with each of us.
The activities were organized with Mrs. Fayda Sarad’s support, from the Drumul Educației Foundation.
The next thematic seminars will be organized in the counties of Bacău, Buzău and Vrancea.
