KIYO's Lift Up organisations for youth empowerment programme guided SosyalBen Foundation on how to apply global citizenship education throughout the different stages of its fieldwork. SosyalBen Foundation carries out creative workshops with children aged 7-13 living in disadvantaged areas, to provide them with the opportunity to discover and strengthen their abilities. Thanks to KIYO’s interactive, experience-based and enabling approach on youth empowerment, SosyalBen was able to strengthen its capacities as a facilitator, adapt the learnings on global citizenship education to its local context and develop necessary tools for its Youth Capacity Empowerment Programme.
