    The project “ Social rights in my hand” is about exploring the concept of Social Rights and usage of social media, multimedia and photography as tools for promoting it to young people. The aim of the project is to raise awareness on social rights among young people, especially for those who are marginalized from the society, such as Roma young people, people with different abilities, young people with social and economical problems and so on. These target groups, because of their lack of education and social inclusion are not enough informed about their social, economic and cultural rights The scope is to analyses the set of problems related to social rights, discussing it together in an interactive way based on non formal education. During the project activities the participants will raise awareness about this topic and they will get the needed tools to bring their knowledge in their local context. We will use different social medias, multimedia, photography as tools for better learning in order to make it more attractive to young people and boost their soft skills.
