English description

The reason why the NOVATIN Association started the project “Youth educated for a sustainable community” is because the formal education – provided in schools – is not sufficient for the young people of Bistrita (and not only them). Together with the partners it managed to mobilize, NOVATIN organized a series of courses on the subject of vocational and professional orientation, communication, team management, leadership, project management, and youth legislation. During the courses, the 180 young participants identified the problems they are faced with, but also came up with solutions. Moreover, the mayor was there to listen to the young citizens of Bistrita and to talk about their concerns. These training modules they attended helped the young people become responsible citizens in their community.

But apart from these courses, NOVATIN wanted to gain official recognition for the importance of non-formal education. This led to the Local pact to support non-formal education – a document which the local public authorities publicly committed to. With this Pact, the City Hall promised to give support to setting up a Center for non-formal education for the young citizens of Bistrita and engaged the youth organizations in setting the directions for funding in 2009 and in drawing up the Local Agenda 21.
