Main goal of the project ‘Advocacy for Human Rights: Share to Change’ was to increase competencies of the partners to create and to run effective campaigns and to raise awareness on actual human rights in their communities. The project goal was planned to be meet by reaching following project aims: to develop participants competencies in the field of campaigning for human rights; to equip participants by competencies to effectively use social media tools to run successful campaigns making the difference; to design and realize two mobility activities with aim to raise competencies of youth workers and leaders in the field of human rights campaigning; to create and deliver human rights campaigns targeting young people in the participant’s communities; to support cooperation between Programme and Partner countries of the Western Balkan and to provide the participants an opportunity to increase their knowledge of Erasmus + Programme and work on new projects ideas aiming to develop competencies of other stakeholders in the area of human rights.The project objectives were reached through implementation of mobility and capacity building activities, sharing lessons learned with the actors interested in the advocacy in the field of human rights and raising awareness of local communities on human rights issues. In case of mobility activities the project included one training course and one seminar. Overall, 75 youth workers representing involved countries Kosovo, North Macedonia, Serbia, Estonia, Albania, Bulgaria and Turkey increased their competences in the field of advocacy for human rights. In case of capacity building activities we implemented local activities in forms of campaigns addressing actual issues in participating communities. Moreover, the project resulted in new project proposal prepared with aim to continue the cooperation in the field of human rights and booklet of good practices available for download on the webpage of the project: http://sharetochange.info/
