The Projects
At our events, charities pitch for 6 minutes before taking questions from the audience.
EYA supports young people in Hungary facing poverty and abuse. They are seeking funding to expand their resilience-building programme for Roma girls and women at risk of domestic violence. This is a vital issue, with only a few organisations in Hungary currently supporting Roma girls.
Kantaya delivers teaching assistant training to young vulnerable women in Peru through their programme, Podera. This not only helps women access work, but also helps improve the quality of education in Peru (it currently ranks 129 out of 137 countries, with many teachers lacking pedagogical qualifications). To date, they have supported more than 220 women - 82% of whom are now employed.
Forum Apulum give young Romanians the information, skills and knowledge they need to become civically engaged citizens. Through their workshops and social media channels, they fill in the gaps left by mainstream media channels to ensure young people are not left out of societal conversations and drawn towards extreme political views.
