In 2022, Jóvenes para Jóvenes, with the support of the Madrid City Council, returns to the city of Madrid, addressing the university youth who find in Human Rights education a tool for the promotion of values related to tolerance, equality and respect for diversity.
“Youth for Youth: Educating in Human Rights and Sustainable Development Goals” gives you the opportunity to train and then sensitize children in schools on issues related to the environment, mental health, gender and other issues related to human rights.
How? The project consists of two phases. During the first, the volunteer receives, for a week, training in Human Rights and SDGs from people and entities that are experts in these issues. The training sessions for this edition will take place between February 21 and 25 in person at the School of Industrial Organization (EOI). In addition, during the training, we will work with the volunteers in the development of tools and skills that, later, allow the sessions in the schools to be executed dynamically and through recreational activities. In addition, the days serve so that the volunteers get to know each other, form links and find the partner with whom they will later attend the school.
Thus, during the second phase, the university youth volunteers go to the classroom of the school that has been assigned to them to work on the contents seen in the training sessions with children or adolescents during 4 sessions.
In Helsinki Spain we have been launching the Youth for Youth project for more than 20 years and helping to create a conscious, active and responsible youth, involved in education for and for Human Rights.

What is this program about? Once registered, the young volunteers receive in the first phase a week-long training on human rights and SDGs from various experts and civil society organizations. In Toledo, the training will take place between January 24 and 28 at the University of Castilla La-Mancha (Toledo Campus) and various topics will be discussed, all of which are related to human rights. In addition, during the training, strategies and tools will be acquired to adapt this new knowledge to the classroom through participatory dynamics and methodologies.
Are you afraid to go alone? Do not worry! The training also tries to create a learning and meeting space so that young people with the same interests meet and establish links, forming couples with whom they later go to schools.

Disinformation regarding problems related to poverty and social exclusion, general ignorance of the existence of human rights and sustainable development goals, marked stereotypes and youth gender violence, as well as the low level of participation of youth in their communities cause the young population to constantly face the inconveniences of contemporary society.
That is why Helsinki Spain created in 2001 the project “Youth for Youth”with the support of the Ministry of Social Rights and Agenda 2030 and this year 2022 we have opened a call in Asturias. This initiative consists of the training of university youth from March 7 to 11 at the University of Oviedo by different experts on issues of social concern that surround Human Rights, such as gender equality; mental and emotional health; the environment, sustainability and responsible consumption; bullying, cyberbullying and cybersecurity; the protection of people at risk of vulnerability (migration and refuge, people with functional diversity, homeless people); and the bloc of democracy and participation. Once this training course is finished, the university youth in pairs go to schools in Asturias to give 4 awareness workshops to boys and girls of school age with the aim of developing a model of global citizenship and a universal culture of Human Rights in which the participants are more aware about their rights.
In this way, we encourage you to register through the following link and be part of a unique experience: ✍️
We are waiting for you!
