(ANS - Valladolid) - The project "EnRédate por los Derechos Humanos: jóvenes movilizados por los Derechos de la Infancia y Juventud de todo el mundo" (Network for Human Rights: young people mobilized for the Rights of Children and Youth around the World) involved three groups of young people
from three provinces in the autonomous community of Castile and León - Salamanca
to be precise - to develop solidarity initiatives and participate in awareness-raising activities
As part of these initiatives in their respective locations
there was also time to see and discuss the documentary "Libertad" by "Misiones Salesianas" and to visit a photo exhibition
This project is co-funded by the Junta de Castilla y León and is linked to the United Nations Agenda 2030 and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The project’s objectives include training
all through a methodology known as the "Kolb Cycle," through which young people become protagonists of their own learning
The participants were divided into three groups of 10-12 youths
The youths came from the Caixa "Proinfancia" Project of the Salesian Foundation "Juan Soñador" in Valladolid; the recreational group of the Vincentian School "La Encarnación" in Peñaranda de Bracamonte
near Salamanca; and the "Don Bosco" Youth Center in León
Educators who participated in the project underwent initial theoretical and practical training
in which they addressed the issues of rights violations of young people around the world and the Convention on the Rights of the Child
They also received information about the project's educational materials and training course
the initial "break out" - an interactive clue game - and complementary activities (online youth meetings
Each youth group had continuous accompaniment with training materials and the presence of educators
The process began with the "break out," which allowed participants to solve a puzzle about the violation of a right
the youth developed their own solidarity initiatives by choosing a right of children and youth
with the goal of carrying out a group action to make this right visible in their environment and educational institution
In the video forum that took place in each city
the documentary film "Libertad" by "Misiones Salesianas," the Salesian Mission Office in Madrid
illustrating human rights violations in Pademba Prison in Freetown
on display for several weeks at each of the venues involved was the photo exhibit "Derechos de la Infancia y la Juventud
Una mirada global" (Rights of Children and Youth
These side activities also helped to reflect on human rights violations suffered by children and youth in different parts of the world
the project’s goal - to mobilize and promote among the people of Castile and Leon the acquisition of knowledge
developing a critical awareness of the violations of these rights - was achieved
