Stowarzyszenie Youth Human Impact

Stowarzyszenie Youth Human Impact works actively at the local, national and international levels. In 2015 we organized 50 h of workshops in Polish cities referring to development of entrepreneurship and increment of the employment in the labor markets in selected regions where unemployment is the highest. We work together with an institution which prepares and trains economically inactive people to enter the labor market. We organize with them events and seminars. We also work with Polish Voluntary Labor Corps and Youth Job Center in Łomża. Since 2014 we help Chief Technical Organization in Łomża with realizing projects and events for unemployed people. Mainly we deal with lectures for young people about entrepreneurship and economy. We also take part in some trainings and projects organized by other associations. We care about our education and knowledge by constant learning and meeting with businessman. In August 2015 in Cracow we organized project called “Open up to success”. We worked with people from Greece and Macedonia. We were talking about economy and ways of self-development. We prepared workshops on creativity, motivation and entrepreneurship. Project engaged 36 participants, 12 per each country. Currently we organize project in Poland called “I am, therefore I change” for young Polish people who will discuss with Polish politicians and ministers about economy of our country, young unemployment and contribution of young people in the shaping of democracy. We also organized Polish-Lithuanian exchange which took place in Wroclaw. In this project were engaged 24 participants from Poland and Lithuania. We were discussing about the fall of communism in Poland and Lithuania. We were working in groups, organising workshops and street games that included local community. It was all to get to know better our history, language, tradition and mentality of Polish and Lithuanian people. During the project we worked with NSZZ SOLIDARNOŚĆ - Lower Silesia Region and we met with Mr. Krzysztof Grzelczak who was an opposition activist. YHI also organized a youth exchange with Lithuania about ecology called “Your Earth, Your Life”. The aim was promotion of eco life and rising awareness of the environment. Our organization also took part in many youth exchanges abroad. We have been participants in project “You’re welcome” organized in Copenhagen - Denmark about inclusion of refugees. We also took part in youth exchange "L.O.W.E: Learning opportunities for future work and employability" in Florence - Italy about prevention of the enlargement of the group of young people who neither study nor work. We were participants in training course SIYS - SOCIAL INCLUSION TROUGH YOUTH AND SPORT, which took place in the Portuguese town of Guimarães. The project aimed to promote awareness and knowledge of social exclusion.
