Kfuk-Kfum global søknad OD 2018

PROGRAM SUMMARY De fleste palestinske tenåringer har erfaringer med alvorlig urettferdighet og møter alvorlige hindringer av både politisk og personlig karakter. Krig, trakassering, arrestasjoner og andre hendelser legger ikke bare begrensninger på ungdoms livsutfoldelse og bevegelsesfrihet, men generer også voldsspiraler og bidrar til traumer eller apati hos unge palestinere. Ungdommene vil få utdanning som kan frigjøre fra undertrykkende kjønnsroller, opphør av traumer som undertrykker deres mulighet for personlig utvikling, økt kunnskap om demokratisk styresett, antikorrupsjon og borgerrettigheter, samt opplysning og opplæring i ikke-voldelig motstand mot okkupasjonen som hindrer deres rett til en rettferdig og fredelig framtid. Søknaden er utviklet i tett samarbeid med lokale partnere og ungdom fra Øst-Jerusalem, Vestbredden og Gaza. Målet for prosjektet er å aktivt involvere ungdommer i arbeidet for rettferdig og bærekraftig fred. Norsk ungdom vil kunne engasjere seg i dette prosjektet fordi det bygger på demokratiske prosesser, deltakelse, kjønnsroller og grunnleggende menneskerettigheter. Okkupasjonen av Palestina står også høyt på agendaen i Norge og mange ungdommer engasjerer seg for å skape en varig fred for Israel og Palestina.

PROGRAM The program adopts a holistic approach through a combination of four major thematic components during a four years period, starting from January 2019 and ending in December 2022. Each component helps to achieve one distinct result, but they also complement each other. The entire program is based on a series of educational and awareness raising trainings and campaigns for the targeted youth. While gender and human rights are cross cutting themes in the program, extra emphasis will be placed on transformative masculinity, psychosocial counselling and trauma healing, transformation from passive subjects to active citizens and ending the occupation through promoting a just peace in Israel and Palestine. These are explained in the details below. From Passive Subjects to Active Citizens YWCA Palestine will provide a platform for youth to be empowered and regain their confidence in themselves. The active citizen (mainly implemented through the program From Subject to Citizen – S2C) is based on the concept that young people are subjects and thereby both excluded and manipulated politically, economically and socially. The result is that many youth are at risk, idle, lack hope and confidence and are thus open to exploitation and political manoeuvring. The S2C change model emphasises the importance of young people having a voice, space and ability to influence their choices and the outcome of their lives as individuals and within their communities. In S2C/active citizenship awareness for 8,000 youths aged between 13-19 years, YWCA Palestine will do a root-cause analysis exercise, which involves looking at the challenges youth face in their community, the beliefs and choices which nurture these challenges and identifying new beliefs and choices as well as opportunities for action in order to create new and more positive results. Out of these 8,000 youths, 100 will graduate as S2C ambassadors through innovative youth leadership development trainings. The S2C Ambassadorship program will provide the unique opportunity for youth leaders to understand and make the deliberate choice that our current mind-set needs to
