HELLENIC YOUTH PARTICIPATION

Hellenic Youth Participation (based in Athens, Greece) stands for intercultural dialogue, non-formal education, mutual understanding and solidarity. The main aim of the group is to promote life-long learning through non-formal education and experiential learning. We train different age groups (teenagers, young adults, parents, youthworkers, facilitators, teachers) in order to inspire and stimulate self-directed and peer learning. We also wish to motivate them to become involved and to raise awareness about current values like equal opportunities, social inclusion and cultural diversity. Through our projects we aim at the promotion of non-formal differentiated learning and the importance of personal development. HYP is active on a local, national and European level. We were awarded the silver prize in the volunteer competition for Greece for our contribution in education in 2016 and 2017.
