Kako 2024. godina prolazi u znaku nekoliko različitih izbora, barem što se Hrvatske tiče, DKolektiv - organizacija za društveni razvoj, imala je vrlo aktivno razdoblje u smislu različitih aktivnosti osvještavanja, motiviranja i uključivanja svih dobnih skupina, ali prvenstveno mlade populacije na izborima, posebice onim europskim, za zastupnike u Europskom parlamentu #EE2024.

Tijekom 2023. godine, kroz projekt #Y2EU, DKolektiv je mobilizirao mlade kroz različite kampanje podizanja svijesti, neke od njih online, a neke uživo - s politologom koji radi u odnosima s javnošću u Europskom parlamentu, pravnom savjetnicom Zelene akcije i mladom aktivisticom, youthworkericom i studenticom socijalnog rada, održan je podcast na temu 10 godina Hrvatske u Europskoj uniji, ali se govorilo i zašto je jako važno povećati broj ljudi koji bi trebali glasovati na europskim izborima 2024. Još jedna online kampanja pod nazivom "Mladi, glasajte na europskim izborima!" je provedena: Uz znakovit hashtag „Glasaj!“, DKolektiv je ovom online kampanjom želio osvijestiti i potaknuti mlade i građane svih dobnih skupina da se uključe u nadolazeće izbore te da je svačiji glas važan, pritom naglašavajući važnost izlaska na europske izbore koji su važna stvar za građane i koji ujedno oblikuju budućnost Europske unije za sljedećih pet godina.

 

 

Održano je i događanje na otvorenom - EU2Youth bio je jednodnevni festival koji je bio namijenjen svim mladima u zajednici koji se žele zainteresirati za sve mogućnosti koje EU nudi mladima, od sudjelovanja u raznim programima, volontiranja i dr. zemalja, pridruživanje raznim inicijativama i udrugama diljem Europe, putovanja i razmjena iskustava, znanja i vještina... četiri organizacije predstavile su svoja iskustva u raznim EU programima za mlade, a mladi su se mogli informirati i prijaviti za razne buduće aktivnosti te se povezati s drugim mladima. Također, tu je bio i poseban info pult na kojem su mogli saznati više o rezultatima istraživanja provedenog među mladima u sklopu projekta Y2EU te se informirati o nadolazećim europskim izborima 2024. godine.

DKolektiv njeguje mrežu razmjene znanja i iskustava sa školama i fakultetima u lokalnoj zajednici. Za studente socijalnog rada organizirana je radionica „EU za mlade u riziku“. Studenti su imali priliku upoznati se s onim što DKolektiv radi na temu mladih vezano uz projekt Y2EU, sa stanjem politika za mlade na europskoj, nacionalnoj, regionalnoj i lokalnoj razini, a zatim razgovarati i postavljati pitanja glavnom tajniku Mreže mladih Hrvatske Josipu Miličeviću.

DKolektiv je održao i dvije aktivnosti sa srednjoškolcima koje su uključivale kratku interaktivnu prezentaciju ključnih europskih institucija s naglaskom na Europski parlament i europske izbore. Učenicima su postavljena opća pitanja o njihovom znanju o izborima za EP i EU. Potom su studenti u grupama smišljali pitanja koja bi postavili Predstavništvu EP-a. Nakon što su pitanja prikupljena pristupilo se glasovanju. Najbolja 3 pitanja su izglasana i bit će poslana Predstavništvu EP-a koje će snimiti video s odgovorima na ta pitanja.
                           

U suradnji s drugim organizacijama civilnog društva iz različitih gradova u Hrvatskoj bili smo domaćini i suorganizatori nekoliko tribina, world caffea i edukacija za mlade o važnosti izlaska na lokalne, državne i europske izbore.

U živoj knjižnici maturanti su imali priliku pitati istaknute predstavnike politike, poslovnog sektora, javne uprave, civilnog društva, medija i znanosti o političkim temama općenito, ali i o europskim izborima 2024. godine.
 

 

Kroz ove različite aktivnosti DKolektiv je pokušao osvijestiti mlade ljude, mlade stručnjake, youthworkere, buduće socijalne radnike, o važnosti javnih politika, njihovoj ulozi i kako se nadaju – motivirati ih da se zainteresiraju za javne politike i buduće izbore i utjecati na njih svojim djelovanjem.

ENGLISH:

As the year 2024 passes in the sign of several different elections, at least as far as Croatia is concerned, DKolektiv - an organization for social development, had a very active period in terms of various awareness-raising, motivating and inclusion activities of all age groups, but primarily the young population in the elections, especially those European, for members of the European Parliament #EE2024.
 

During 2023, through the #Y2EU project, DKolektiv mobilized young people through various awareness campaigns, some of them online and some live - with a political scientist who works in public relations in the European Parliament, a legal adviser of the Green Action and a young activist, youth worker and student of social work, a podcast was held on the topic of 10 years of Croatia in the European Union, but it was also discussed why it is very important to increase the number of people who should vote in the European elections in 2024. Another online campaign called "Youth, vote in the European elections!" was carried out: With the significant hashtag "Vote!", with this online campaign DKolektiv wanted to raise awareness and encourage young people and citizens of all age groups to get involved in the upcoming elections and that everyone voice is important, while emphasizing the importance of going to the European elections, which are an important matter for citizens and which also shape the future of the European Union for the next five years.

 

 

 

An outdoor event was also held - EU2Youth was a one-day festival that was intended for all young people in the community who want to be interested in all the opportunities that the EU offers to young people, from participating in various programs, volunteering in other countries, joining various initiatives and associations across Europe, traveling and exchange of experiences, knowledge and skills... four organizations presented their experiences in various EU youth programs, and young people could get information and register for various future activities and connect with other young people in the community. Also, there was a special info desk where they could find out more about the results of research conducted among young people as part of the Y2EU project and get information about the upcoming European elections in 2024.

DKolektiv fosters a network of exchange of knowledge and experiences with schools and colleges in the local community. Workshop "EU for youth at risk" was organised for students of social work. Students had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with what is DKolektiv doing on the topic of youth regarding the Y2EU project, with the state of youth policies at the European, national, regional and local levels, and then conduct a dialogue and ask questions to the general secretary of the Croatian Youth Network, Josip Miličević.

DKolektiv also held two activities with high school students, which included short interactive presentation of key European institutions, with emphasis on European parliament and European elections. Students were asked general questions about their knowledge about the EP and EU elections. Then in groups, students were thinking of questions to ask the Representative office of EP. After the questions were collected, voting took place. The best 3 questions were voted on and will be sent to the Representative Office of the EP, which will record a video, answering those questions.

 

              

 

In cooperation with other civil society organizations from different cities in Croatia, we hosted and co-organized several forums, world-cafes and education for young people on the importance of participating in local, national and European elections.

In the living library, graduates had the opportunity to ask prominent representatives of politics, the business sector, public administration, civil society, the media and science about political issues in general, but also about the European elections in 2024.

Through these various activities, DKolektiv tried to make young people, young experts, youthworkers, future social workers, aware of the importance of public policies, their role, and as they hope - to motivate them to take an interest in public policies and future elections and influence them through their actions.
