Hellenic Youth Participation

The main aim of the group is to promote human rights through non-formal education and experiential learning. We train different age groups (teenagers, young adults, parents and teachers) in order to inspire and stimulate European citizens to become active parts of their local and European community. We 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 recently awarded the silver prize in the volunteer competition for Greece for our contribution in education. Due to the recent humanitarian crisis in Greece, we are working to create a network of activism of young people in order to know where and how to be active.
