Their opinion is not always right and not always appropriate for youngsters. We think they should have their own opinion on different issues. Our project will show youngsters in age 15-20, how to express themselves and their opinion in different life situations, how to find their place in the fast developing world. They also will have possibility to present their own definition of the word “leader“ and to compare it with the others. Participants will learn by different methods as: debates, team games, discussions, role games, public speech, group works etc. Thanks to this project young people will have new skills and knowledge about how to be a leader and in future they can share it with others. The main aims:- to discover the term “leadership”- to learn how to express personal opinion, how to be heard- to compare level of initiative/participation between youngsters, coming through different countries- to increase social activity between youngsters- to learn how to be not afraid of speaking to the public/break personal prejudices - discover different types of leaders behaviour in a team and find own place in different situations- to reflect about developed through the project skills, knowledge and attitude with help of YouthPass (8 key competences)A bit about applicant organization:NGO Youth Club Active is a mobile youth organization which was created with help of the Youth Center Vihasoo which is working since 1994 in the field of youth in Tallinn, Estonia.
