STARTING A PROJECT
Note that Youth Visioning is no longer considering proposals for 2007.
Getting Started
Are you
a young person living in a Small Island Developing
State (SIDS) or a small island territory, wanting
to carry out a project in your community? Youth
Visioning for Island Living may be able to help
you. You can find information here about projects
that other young islanders around the world have
done, as well as how to plan and fund your own
project.
Youth Visioning
for Island Living seeks to build capacity among
island youth; to give youth a voice in sustainable
development matters; and to make positive changes
at the local and national level.
Youth
Visioning for Island Living was launched in
2003 with a series of regional activities and
a meeting was held in Mauritius in January 2005
with young representatives from many island countries
around the world. These young people committed
themselves to implement follow-up projects and
a fund was created to provide start-up support
for these projects,
which are currently being carried out around the
world. However, even if you were not part of the
Youth Visioning meeting in Mauritius, we are still
interested in your project idea!
First of
all, take the time to read through the information
on this website to get a better idea of what Youth
Visioning is all about.
Project Focus
Youth Visioning for Island Living
supports youth-led projects that fall under
one of the three themes of Youth Visioning:
- Life and love in islands:
island lifestyles and cultures (ex: raising
awareness about HIV/AIDS)
- My island home: safeguarding
island environments (ex: cleaning up an area
of the community and educating people about
proper waste management)
- Money in my pocket: economic
and employment opportunities (ex: holding
workshops on career development skills such
as resume writing)
As you can see,
the themes are quite broad so chances are your
project idea will be related to at least one of
them. We are interested in projects that will
have a long-lasting impact on your community and
that could be continued in future years with local
support.
