Project name: Youth leadership and community initiative

Funded by: Nadace VIA

Project description: The main aim of the project was through the establishment of student councils in the city to raise the voice of young people and so that they are more involved in the community. With student councils we wanted to make students more involved in the daily life of students in school, allowing them to give ideas and suggestions to the school management and represent the voice of the student body in meetings with the management of the school. Additionally, we wanted them to be more involved with the community the school is situated in as well as to organize more activities for the students themselves. In the beginning everything went well – cooperation with municipality, schools, teachers and students was on spot.
