Workshop Facilitator

The Center for Sustainable Development Studies (CSDS) is a Vietnamese non-profit organization legally registered in 2009. CSDS is promoting education for sustainable development with a strong emphasis on youth empowerment and community support.

CSDS is working in partnership with Oxfam to implement the “Young@Heart” project from March – December 2015.

Young@Heart is a global project in 16 countries funded Oxfam to empower youth to raise their voices in order to articulate their needs and aspirations.

• Create an enabling space whereby decision makers in the public and private sphere are willing to listen to young people and take action to address their needs and aspirations
• Utilise innovative approaches for voicing of youth concerns through mobilisation and multi-stakeholder collaboration, thus shifting the terms of debate in society

The overall intent is to move from interventions for youth to interventions by youth, by placing youth at the central core; the very heart of this project.

Working together with young people, the Young@Heart project comprises the following activities:

• A scoping study to identify youth autonomous volunteer movements in which young people are actively engaged in development work
• An Exploration Lab to find out the specific concerns, desires and interests of young people; gain a deeper understanding of their lifestyles and preoccupations and capture their lives
• An Innovation Lab to develop innovative concepts, formats and partnerships for activities that highlight the discoveries and ideas generated in the Exploration Lab and bring forth the voice of youth
• A Campaigning Lab to provide young people with the skills and resources to plan and run their own lobbying campaigns on key youth issues raised in the Exploration Lab, using innovative tools and platforms for advocacy
