Description oft the project:

The idea of the project is to empower youngsters with leadership skills, because we see,that adults, society, which surrounds youngsters often have high impact for them. Their opinion is not always right and not always appropriate for youngsters. We think they should have their own opinion on different issues. Our project will show youngsters in age 15-20, how to express themselves and their opinion in different life situations, how to find their place in the fast developing world. They also will have possibility to present their own definition of the word “leader“ and to compare it with the others. Participants will learn by different methods as: debates, team games, discussions, role games, public speech, group works etc. Thanks to this project young people will have new skills and knowledge about how to be a leader and in future they can share it with others.
