To develop our societies, we need to encourage youth to grow into active participants in the local community’s life and to focus their energy towards social development, sustainability, education and building constructive groups of responsible young citizens. The idea of Sanabel, together with its partners, is to initiate a network of conscious young activists and organizations from Europe and MENA countries that will work to educate, liberate, and empower youth in their local communities through spreading of social consciousness and development.The idea of YOURS Network: From YOUth Responsibility to Self-employability is aimed at not just at developing youth’s social skills to appreciate the community, the environment and their participation in social and political processes, but also to create a network of social responsible organizations that through the training of trainers will have the opportunity to grow into social enterprises as well. The project on one hand wants to inspire youth to build up their network and be engaged in activities such as organizing campaigns around certain societal issues. But on other hand, this project will bring innovative practices on surface, allowing participants to develop self-employability skills and to get closer to the mind-set behind social enterprise.Stimulating youth responsibility towards communities and fostering their direct involvement into society will strengthen the creation of the youth social capital. Moreover, youth who participate in such activities have been found to demonstrate better social skills in how they interact with others in their community. As the project acts as a bridge between European and MENA organizations, participants will be able to experience an increase in enhanced cooperation between organizations active in field youth, will improve organizational support that care of young people in complementarity with the European Union's external action, and will enhance their intercultural dialogue. Last but not least, through the activities incorporated in this projects, participants will be in position not only to start more active participation in society, but their active work will result with also enhanced employability and improved career prospects, increased self-empowerment and self-esteem, as well as increased sense of initiative and entrepreneurship.

This project involved elderly people from all sectors of the community, including those suffering from disadvantage or from mild dementia, sharing their life stories with young people from secondary schools. The project aims to motivate the whole community to adopt a caring approach to its elderly residents and improving the overall quality of their life. The adults shared their life stories written on blogs with young people as well as established e-readers clubs/groups.Young people were “paired” with adults under trainer’s supervision and enabled them to gain the new ICT and e-literacy skills. Interaction between adults and youth was focused on topics (i.e. places, schools, historical diets, former jobs in the past and those in use at present). Adults gained ICT and e-literacy skills, confidence and self-esteem, while the youngsters enriched their knowledge of the history and the social changes in their community. This project concentrated itself on dual course: first, during project meetings and mobilities, partners listened to the each others presentations and collected a good practices (and methodologies, too) of e-Learning in educational institutions for senior citizens, to make finally synthesis of it all proper to project objectives.Second, each partner recruited 20 representatives of each target group- seniors and young people (20+20), put them into the pairs and implemented the short methodology for learning ICT and e- literacy. These active target groups (of each partner) established an Internet contacts between each other through project VLE platform, chat and e-mailing. Implementation of the project in international partnership is justified for the following reasons:- Despite identical needs and very similar objectives of partners, they use different methods and tools for development of digital and e-literacy competences of learners;- Exchange of good practices was an occasion to meet new, unheard of in own country, methods and tools of work with learners in this field;- Implementation of project in experimantal groups significantly increased and diversified the amount of experience gained, knowledge and competences learned and acquired.

Sexual and Reproductive Health - Knowledge Beats Taboos is CB project run by NGO Prima from Montenegro and partners are NGOs from: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Italy, Kosovo, Latvia, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Spain and Turkey. It lasts 22 months.Young people need to have a sound sexual education that covers various aspects of reproduction and sexuality. Sexuality education isn't mandatory in all EU states. In some Europe’s more conservative societies in general sexual education still hasn’t managed to deliver these promises because of a number of unhealthy culture-oriented beliefs and tradition-based practices. Many young here has weak and misinformed knowledge and skills about the protection against HIV/AIDS and STIs; management of relationship-emotions; mutual respect within relationship; prevention against teenage pregnancy; and contraception possibilities, among others. And many keep quiet when face sexual abuse. We still witness a relatively high rate of STD including HIV, high rate of unwanted pregnancies of underage girls in some countries. Even if the causes of involuntary teenage pregnancy can be various, they are mainly due to a deficient sexuality education. In the same time parents are shy or equally non-informed. Services for support are rare and media send wrong inputs for gender roles. In this project we offer integrative and holistic approach to the whole area of sexual and reproductive health, starting from gathering sexual identity, to sexual development, sexual intelligence, sexual preferences with reproductive health and ending with the development as well as sexual abuse and sexual-reproductive rights in one place. The training offers both science-based knowledge and expert hand-on practice skills development that will answer all topic-related questions, without masking or hiding details that are traditionally or religiously known as taboo; and within school textbooks are considered as “too much” - actually supporting existence of taboos too by hiding behind the “bee and flower” story. Due to the fact that many young people prefer ask their peers or resort to social media platforms to search for answers to their questions related sexuality and health, we decided not to struggle against Internet as a source to educate young people but to use it for our new platform. Project has: kick off meeting in Serbia, 3 mobility trainings for youth workers in Montenegro and Spain, as well as study visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina. We created web site www.allaboutsexeducation.com, adjusted to all devices, then educational brochures in 15 languages, round tables with decision makers to propose policy to involve sexual and reproductive health in regular school programs, workshops in youth centers and schools as well as establishing the on line and off line counsellings. Trainings cover: sexual health and identities, reproductive health and development, sexual rights and abuse and include 120 youth workers and at least 500 peer educators.Additionally, thanks to co-funding sources, we created video in Montenegrin language and Bulgarian partner organized competition for the best essay in the topic of sexual-reproductive health. All products and results are used as dissemination tools as well as tools to raise awareness about importance of education about our sexual development and sexual-reproductive health without taboos and prejudices.

"""All Raise Against Hate Speech"" is Capacity Building project which includes mobility activities. It gathers 11 partner organizations: main applicant is NGO Prima from Montenegro and partners are from: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, FYR Macedonia, Serbia and Turkey. Partners were selected because of their experience in promotion of Human Rights. Also we took care to involve countries with significant Gender gap index, problems or wars because of religion, nationalism, racism, xenophobia, intolerance to refugees, discrimination based on sexual and gender differences. General goal is to reduce violence and discrimination and promote right of every human being to live life without hate, fear and social exclusion. Specific goal is to increase capacities of all involved partner organizations to fight against hate speech on line and off line.Activities that we realized were as following: 2 transnational trainings for more than 66 youth workers about human rights vs hate speech, and about how to create on line and off line campaign against hate speech. In involved country partners organized local trainings for peer educators and created campaign national teams. Base for trainings was manual Bookmarks created by CoE. Next phase of project included different actions in the frame of local and European campaign against hate speech. Mainly teams acted on line, but also off line. On line teams noticed and reacted on hate speech on social networks, recorded and edited short video clips and posts related to sharing of culture of non-violence, shared on YouTube, Facebook, web sites. In off line space teams realized workshops for high school and University students, they also organized meetings with local and national authorities institutionally in charge for No hate Speech Movement in aim to plan together future steps. We organized competition for the best photography of young person that sends strong message against hate speech.In Montenegro an exhibition was made in Youth Center in Podgorica, as way to raise awareness about hate speech and reminds all beneficiaries of this Center of importance of fight against hate speech and hate crimes. Additionally in Montenegro we organized round table with topic “Role of public and civil institutions in fight against hate speech and discrimination”. One of the products of Montenegrin team was video spot which was broadcasted on local and national televisions and also on YouTube channel, website of NGO Prima and our Facebook page. Our partner organizations shared it as well on their web platforms. An Facebook group of all educated and involved youth workers and peer educators was created with purpose to be non-formal network of activists in the field of No Hate Speech Movement. At the end of project we organized press conference to present all activities and achievements as well as our future plans related to topic of anti-discrimination and prevention of peer violence. Duration of this project was 14 months, from 01. of August 2016. until 30. of September 2017."
