Asociatia CPDIS is a non-profit organization founded in the fall of 2012 with the aim of promoting understanding and cooperation between people. Pursuing this aim, we encourage and promote all those initiatives that, in terms of solidarity and on the cultural-educational field, allow the interchange of ideas among different cultures, favour the easing of economic imbalances and promote the
creation of a true culture of universality and peace. Among these actions, there is a reflection on consumerism, interculture and peace with non-formal education methodologies. Our goals are to involve young people into youth people on local, national and international levels, to support youth in creating
and implementing their own small-scale community-based projects. CPDIS members had participated in many youth projects in local, national and international level, together with partners our coordinators had implemented youth exchanges and youth trainings. Our staff got their competences and
experience through the non-formal education and learning methods. Also in our team are more people who have graduated the management and economics bachelor degree. There is also one person experienced in project management. Some members have finished training courses in field of work with youth and
as seminar facilitators, local level youth trainers. Our project team has theseskills and expertise and experiences:
– Networking for youth education activities,
– Promoting of youths at entrepreneurship,
– Sharing experiences,
– Creating educational materials together,
– Promoting a good communication between project partners and related
organisations
– Disseminating the results very actively
We are working with young people with fewer opportunities and have good practical experience integrating them in our projects. Many of our international events take place in rural areas where we include marginalized youth like unemployed young people, young people from geopgrahically isolated areas and young people with a hard social background (orphans, from broken families, with immigrant background, etc).
Asociatia CPDIS has youth workers with solid practical experience concerning all the aspects of the project cycle in a youth exchange: need assessment, proposal writing, implementation, evaluation, follow-up activities, reporting.
