Our Voice is a project that aims to organise different workshops and meetings as well as educational activities for young people based on structured dialogue, in order to help them express themselves, find ways to contribute to the community and participate in the democracy process of Cyprus. At the same time our aim is to help them participate in discussions between young people and policy makers about different themes, to make sure the opinions of young people are taken into account in defining the EU’s youth policies. The themes and topics for discussion are usually decided at European level by EU Youth Ministers but we are also going to organise different other meetings to discuss other topics, such as the opinions of young people for the Cypriot problem and how they think it could be solved in the best possible way, unemployment, youth empowerment and many more issues that affect the youth. One of our goals will be to help them be more active citizens, by organising different events for the society and promoting volunteerism. A lot of young people in Cyprus are at the moment unemployed and quite frustrated because they do not feel that they are productive in any way. There are also a lot of young people that may be asylum seekers, political refugees or even human trafficking victims. These young people do not have the same opportunities as others, especially because they are not really implemented in the society. A lot of them do not have friends or hobbies and in many cases, not even some creative ways to spend their days or learn something. Our goal is to promote the inclusion of these young people to the society and help them express their opinions and ideas.Our volunteers will be responsible to collect all the different opinions and write policy papers with the suggestions of young people for different subjects and send them to policy makers. The volunteers will get lots of versatile experience from youth work and will gain lots of knowledge about leading different kinds of youth groups. We will give them the opportunity to plan activities and be part of developing old ones. They will also learn about youth information and about different kinds of office work like reporting and planning. Volunteers will have the chance to participate in the diffusion of youth mobility programmes, supporting the implementation of workshops, supporting the search for partner projects and the organisation of local and international seminars.
