Expires on May 5, 2023 | 2023 GOAL NextGen Youth Program (400 euro stipend)
The GOAL NextGen Youth Programme 2023 is now accepting applications. Young people from all around the world are brought together by the GOAL’s NextGen Youth Program to enhance their understanding of global citizenship and global justice concerns.
The UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those related to food and climate action, and how we can work to create a fairer and more sustainable future for all will be explained in detail in this program for young, driven changemakers. To share their insights and aspirations for our connected society, participants will work together to develop tools for spreading awareness.
The program is a seven-week engagement with kids in Ireland and in a few other countries participating in the GOAL initiative, and it is designed to provide the learning and empowerment opportunities essential for effective youth-led change. The participants in the youth program will gain a deeper grasp of global citizenship and related global justice concerns through interactive workshops and cross-cultural collaborations. All program participants will join GOAL’s NextGen Youth Network as facilitators and multipliers of the organization’s message of global citizenship, making it much more than a one-time event.
