EYES

The Education and Youth Empowerment Society (EYES) is a new established non for profit organisation, located in Sofia, Bulgaria working to motivate youth by means of one caring and supportive environment. Aims EYES strives for a democratic and diverse Europe, which is socially, economically and politically integrated, and values the participation of young people in its construction and development. EYES empowers young people in Europe to take an active role in society. It creates a space for dialogue and learning opportunities as well as acts as their representative towards decision-makers. Moreover, it strengthens mutual understanding and brings Europe closer to young people. Activities EYES creates a space for members of different backgrounds to meet and learn about cultural differences, in order to foster mutual understanding. EYES supports mobility and encourages young people to cross borders and make new friends, to break stereotypes and strengthen tolerance, respect and solidarity. EYES provides learning opportunities for the development of its members through non-formal education and informal learning. By participating in trainings courses, workshops, and active involvement in the organisation, our members improve their competences (such as leadership skills, communication skills and team management) which will be useful for their future lives. EYES gathers the opinions of young people and represents them towards stakeholders through campaigns, lobby actions, conferences and membership in bigger advocacy platforms. In addition, EYES informs young people about the impact which European policies have in their lives and opportunities they offer.
