In order to do this, WINetzwerk e.V. organizes and participates in various regional and international events like seminars, workcamps, workshops, youth exchanges, trainings with the support of high motivated young people and youth workers, thus contributing to the mobility of young people om the European and global levels. Main topics covered by running activities are: human rights, sustainable international cooperation, migration, ecology, active citizenship, inclusion, gender equality, peaceful co-existence, youth participation, empowerment and mental health. Through our work we address people with different backgrounds, those who intensely participates in democratic processes as well as those who want to become a part of local or/ and international activities.
Central topics, that are covered by our engagement:
1.Human rights: We engage in a variety of activities to promote human rights and advocate for their protection. In our work we focus on specific areas of human rights, such as the rights of refugees and migrants, the rights of women and girls and the rights of marginalized or disadvantaged groups.
2.Youth activism: We provide resources and training to help young people develop the skills they need to be effective advocates for changes and organizers. We also offer opportunities for young people to get involved in campaigns and initiatives, connect with like-minded individuals, and learn from experienced activists.
(e.g. during the project ‘Yes she can!’ 3 different media products on the topic of women rights were created and disseminated through a big network).
3.Sustainability and environmental issues: Working on this topic, we engage in a variety of activities to promote environmental sustainability and protect natural resources. This includes conducting research, advocating for policy change, educating, and working with other NGOs and companies to promote sustainable practices.
(e.g. in collaboration with our associated partner, Eine Welt e.V., we created the guideline on ‘How to create sustainable youth project’)
4.Hate speech: We see our mission in raising awareness about the negative impact of hate speech and to promoting tolerance, respect, and inclusivity.
(e.g. we collaborate with Amadeu Antonio Stiftung, who are a big actor in a democratic civil society that consistently opposes right-wing extremism, racism and anti-semitism)
5.Creativity and mindfulness: We provide training and education on mindfulness techniques and practices, organize creative workshops and events, and develop resources and tools to help individuals cultivate creativity and mindfulness in their daily lives.
6.Mental health: We offer workshops and training sessions focused on mental health awareness, stress management, resilience building, and coping strategies as well as facilitate peer support groups and promote positive mental health practices.
(e.g. our small scale partnership project ‘Power of belonging’ that focuses on mental health practices for youngsters and young adults with migrant and refugee background)
7.Refugees’ support: Since 2022 we are actively involved in the local social work with refugees. Our activities are focusing on providing assistance with arrival, support and orientation, mentoring and language and creative activities to support the empowerment of the affected groups.
