Nombre de la Institución: CELL OF ALTERNATIVE YOUTH ACTIVITIES
Resumen de la Institución:
KEAN is an
inclusive youth society. The organization’s main goal is to pursue activities
leading to the improvement of the quality of life focusing on the protection of
the environment including the promotion of new technologies, youth education
and youth rights. In KEAN we strongly believe that quality of life presupposes
the existence of a healthy participatory democratic society. As such KEAN
devotes special attention to include activities that support social minorities
and disadvantaged social groups in their fights against discrimination, racism
and violence. In short we understand the promotion of ‘quality of life’ as a
broader issue, which includes the protection of the environment, an informed
youth with strong education and a participatory society.
KEAN works
like a cell; like the cell that breaks and multiplies KEAN creates new ‘Cells’
that equally inspire one another. Every ‘cell’- branch is a separate entity,
within the frame of the organization. It raises issues that preoccupy its
members and communicates them to the other ’Cells’. It realizes activities and
can receive support from all of KEAN’s members. As such it builds its own
agenda on local issues while following and participating to the universal thematic
topics decided by the organization. Each ‘Cells’ goal is to function
independently and autonomously with several degrees of freedom on the local
issues while mobilizing for the broader ones.
Approaches
and methods
To succeed
in our goals, our strategy is to pursue a range of activities using a variety
of methods while placing the highest possible degree of creativity and
innovation. In KEAN we believe that we can only be effective by focusing on
more than one type of activity and thematic field. Moreover, we understood
early on that each geographical area and each different youth-group, has its
own priorities and needs to which, we try to respond. As such our recent
activities include the organization of a Mediterranean conference on the
“Environment and New technologies”, the production of a multi-tasking
table-game called “Planetbook” which raises awareness on ecological issues as
well as promoting the activities of environmental NGOs, the issuing of a
monthly newspaper devoted to environmental and cultural questions that concern
local societies and the organization of several competitions for youth and
activities such as reforestation, visits in natural sites and NGO networking
events.. Since our establishment, we have also been trying to broaden our geographical
reach outside our headquarters in Athens, and when possible, outside Greece.
That is why, today, we have local active offices in eight other areas of Greece
and we have organized several seminars and actions with participants from
Greece and Europe.
To
reach its goals ΚΕΑΝ has established partnerships with many similar
international societies and clubs that are inspired by the same values and
goals. However, today we wish to become even more active in cooperation with
organizations in our immediate neighborhood. That is countries from the region
of the Mediterranean and the Balkans. We aim to cooperate with organizations
with an established record of activities, whether these are large or smaller
ones. Moreover, we are open at cooperating with local authorities – which we
have done so in several instances in the past – in order to increase the level
of penetration to local audiences.contacto: info@kean.gr
