KIYO's Lift Up organisations for youth empowerment programme guided SosyalBen Foundation on how to apply global citizenship education throughout the different stages of its fieldwork. SosyalBen Foundation carries out creative workshops with children aged 7-13 living in disadvantaged areas, to provide them with the opportunity to discover and strengthen their abilities. Thanks to KIYO’s interactive, experience-based and enabling approach on youth empowerment, SosyalBen was able to strengthen its capacities as a facilitator, adapt the learnings on global citizenship education to its local context and develop necessary tools for its Youth Capacity Empowerment Programme.

Action4Rights really transformed my students: the classroom dynamics improved significantly, the students understood better what to expect from each other, their self-esteem increased, they started really listening to each other and they are better able to form opinions on social issues.

Thanks to KIYO's experience, knowledge and ideas, we have been able to integrate children's rights even more across all school levels. Through this process, teachers have developed greater openness towards students. We encourage student participation to the maximum and if it is not possible, we explain why and what, if anything, is still possible. We are a proud School for Rights!
