Invitation to the Workshop "Become an Upstander" by afyn.cz

📚 Educate. ✊ Empower. 🔁 Repeat.

Are you between 16 and 26 years old and do you want to be part of a global network of youth taking action? Do you want to raise awareness of the dangers of prejudice, discrimination, racism and anti-Semitism?

Join the Anne Frank Youth Network and become a member of a global community!

Inspired by Anne Frank’s diary and her lifestory, all activities aim to raise awareness, increase active citizenship, foster dialogue and democratic values today. Together with your peers you will make a positive contribution to society and to your community! 

We kindly invite you to take part in our training of new youth ambassadors!

When? 

• Start: Friday 17th January 2025 at around 13:00
• End: Saturday 18th January 2025 at around 17:30

Where?

• In Prague at Hotel Marianeum (mapy.cz), venue for the training and accommodation.

What to expect?

• The event offers a unique opportunity to gain first-hand insights into AFYN and discover ways to get involved, while also providing a space for you to ask any questions that matter to you.
• Hear directly from current youth ambassadors as they share their experiences with AFYN and explain how they’ve applied the skills they've gained to make a positive impact in their communities.
• You’ll also learn about activities and tools aimed at promoting democratic values, human rights, and the rule of law. Additionally, the program will explore initiatives that connect historical events to contemporary issues.

What does it cost?

• Nothing - the whole training is for free.
• For participants with a longer journey we will provide accommodation, if needed. In addition, train tickets or tickets for other means of transport will be reimbursed.

Please register for the training until January, 5th 2025.

About a week before the training you will receive an email with information about the program, a plan how to get to the hotel and everything you need to bring or to know in advance.

If questions occur before the event, please do not hesitate and get in touch with Thomas, who is in charge of the Anne Frank Youth Network and your contact person: thomas.elmecker@terezinstudies.cz.
