Youth as active citizens in Cerrik

Youth as active citizens in Cerrik

Youth from Cerrik prepared packs of educational materials from recycled materials and donated them to the special school children in Elbasan and to the kindergarten children in Cerrik, on the Global Education Week, focusing Inclusive Education. Youth from Cerrik, found such activity very stimulating and were proud of every completed item. It gave them great joy and dignity. 
Another youth action was to create a healthy and green environment for their community in Cerrik. They cleaned, painted and planted by themselves new trees and flowers in their community park. These youth initiatives, held in collaboration with local authorities, are great example of how civic engagement can be beneficial for youth themselves and wider community. 
Youth initiatives are part of Education for Youth Empowerment project in Cerrik supported by Save the Children. This project aims to create an enabling environment for youth in Cerrik, to develop their knowledge, skills and widen youth opportunities to succeed in life.
