This project has a key role in establishing interaction amongst youth and Government. By providing capacity building to Brazilian young people on a national scale, we will empower young people through social entrepreneurship and leadership skills in order to implement new community projects.
We will create a non-governmental organisation aimed at using young people as the most powerful tools to tackle global issues.
How are we going to do this? We will:
• Create a virtual platform where all Brazilian citizens will have free access to online forums and discussions.
• Create interaction amongst Brazilian youth and important political leaders, such as governors, senators and presidents.
• Create opportunities of academic and social cultural exchange programs.
• Support social initiatives from the participants of our events by providing them small grants to shape or start projects.
• Encourage enterprises and governmental organizations to working with social projects created by youth.
• Actively work to get closer to reaching the Millennium Development Goals in Brazil.
• Promote self-esteem to all individuals involved directly and indirectly with the project. More specifically, our first project will be the Youth for Empowerment Forum. An event that consists of gathering 60 young community activists from all regions of Brazil.
