The 'Youth Protection & Civic Engagement' project aims at empowering youth in Palestine: young people develop into active and critical citizens, ready for local and global challenges through improved education, training, guidance and access to employment. The project objectives are (1) to protect vulnerable youth (boys and girls), young women and men against violence, (2) to give access to qualitative psycho-social, mental health, GBV and legal counselling and support services, (3) to promote their rights, (4) to enable them to be well-informed and to participate in decision-making, and (5) finally to have them actively engaged in their community.
