GEYC celebrated 10 years of activity in March 2020, on which occasion we launched the "#GEYC10 Changemakers" contest. The idea behind the competition is to highlight success stories about community involvement and the impact of the activities in which GEYC Community members take part.

GEYC a sărbătorit 10 ani de activitate în martie 2020, ocazie cu care am deschis înscrierile pentru concursul „#GEYC10 Changemakers”.

Impact Report

Today, people need to be equipped with a variety of skills ranging from basic skills, such as literacy, numeracy and digital, to vocational or technical skills as well as entrepreneurial skills and transversal skills, such as foreign languages or the ability to learn and take initiative. It is widely known that formal education can not empower you with every skill you need, and this is where non-formal education and extracurricular activities come into play.

This Report mainly analyses the effect of European mobilities and extracurricular activities on young people’s skills and competences and how these can contribute to finding a job.

The #GEYC10 Changemakers competition and the Impact Report were organized within the KA2 Youth Workers 2.0 project, as the GEYC Community is the first digital youth community in Romania, and the purpose of this KA2 project is to promote the use of digital tools in working with young people.

Involvement

The Changemakers community is also a pool of experts in different fields who often get involved in our activities, share their experiences with the members of the GEYC Community and exchange good practices.

On the occasion of #EDYS20 - European Digital Youth Summit, part of the Global Citizens’ Dialogue on the Future of Internet, several Changemakers got involved as facilitators of online workshops on the topic of Internet Governance.
Over the course of 2 days, they interacted with approximately 200 romanian participants and discussed topics such as fake news, personal data, disinformation, artificial intelligence.
