Why EFIVOS?
The name EFIVOS, which means “adolescent” in Greek, stands for Encouraging and Fostering Inclusive Values among youth by increasing awareness and enhancing KnOwledge and Skills requirements in a digital era. This acronym has been chosen to highlight who are the main beneficiaries of the activities, as explained previously in the presentation of the project.
Reminder: One of the goals of the project was to upscale a project called “Young Journalists” which was developed at a local level in Athens, Greece, where teenage refugees, immigrants and Greeks were empowered to run and manage their own printed newspaper called “Migratory Birds”. If you are interested to read it, it is free of charge and available in many languages, including Arabic, Farsi, English, Greek and Urdu and distributed every two months. Click here and here
So what are the news?
All the partners of the project have been working closely despite the pandemic situation and had the opportunity to meet several times online, while wishing to meet in person, when the worldwide situation will be better.
