Civic Responsibility and Leadership Project

The Civic Responsibility and Leadership Project for young women, girls, boys and parents is based at high schools in the towns of Bucharest, Rucar and Dragonslavele. Post communist Romania has seen a breakdown in social values and civic responsibilities and an increase in immoral acts, prostitution and illegal drug trafficking. Many young people no longer feel a sense of loyalty and responsibility to their families and their homeland and are seeking to emigrate.

The goal of this project is to help young people, particularly young women, develop a sense of personal responsibility for their own lives, and a sense of identification with their native country. Monthly conferences for parents and teenagers will be organised, with follow-up debates and workshops.  Topics to be covered include, decision-making, health care, self-management, love and respect as well as traditions and culture and handicraft workshops.

Proposals for activities in 2007 include, the celebration of the birthday of the national poet and other well known national figures, activities for Romanian Independence Day, International Children's Day activities, conferences and activities at care homes, for both children and elderly people.
