Social Platform
YGP has a three-part approach toward youth development:
Our projects with young people focus on learning and self-development. Improving the education and employment prospects of young people forms an important part of our work.
Our plan includes trainings and skills initiatives and a range of projects at further and higher education level.
When we inspire young people to learn and acquire new skills, we also inspire them to have changes inside and outside and influence others. Motivation works as a powerful lifetime benefit and creates mental strength, drive, focus, and the courage to take action.
Today young people are strong forces in social movements and they have the power to transform the world into a better place. But while young people are leaders and change the others, they still need tounderstand their responsibilities and values. We work on social
implementation of good leadership principles and are providing young people with skills, experience and routes to employment.
