4C is a Non Governmental Organization based in Athens Greece. 4C employs 5 part time workers and around 15 volunteers. The budgetary resources come from different educational local projects, seminars, teams and lessons of foreign languages.
4C (based in Athens, Greece) stands for intercultural dialogue, non-formal education, mutual understanding and solidarity.
The main aim of the organization is to promote life-long learning through non-formal education and experiential learning. We train different age groups (teenagers, young adults, facilitators,) in order to inspire and stimulate self-directed and peer learning. We also wish to motivate them to become involved and to raise awareness about current values like equal opportunities, social inclusion and cultural diversity. Through our projects we aim at the promotion of non-formal differentiated learning and the importance of personal development. 4C is active on a local and national level.
The organization stands for the values of human rights, democracy and active participation as they are promoted in the European Union, the European Parliament and the Council of Europe
We implement the initiatives through non-formal differentiated learning this is why we work with them in 3 different target groups:
*Teenagers (13-17 years old): where we implement the project “Get to know EU institutions and procedures”, a project about awareness on the European Union, European identity and values. Also, we implement different kind of activities focusing on the topic of the human rights, no hate speech campaign using the manual of We Can: Taking action against hate speech through counter and alternative narratives and Compass by the Council of Europe
* Young Adults (18-30 years old) where we implement activities regarding the importance of active citizenship and fighting against democratic deficit.
* Educators (Facilitators, Educators, Trainers, Coaches) where we implement workshops on topics of empowering young people, human rights and fighting against hate speech.
We have experience in the field of active citizenship and democracy and we would like to share our expertise in this field. Moreover, we have a network of local partners that we could engage them in different projects in order to achieve a big impact in our local community
We would like to be part of this network in order to cooperate with different organization that share same principles and values. Also, we would like to co-organize different european and international events and projects and exchange good practices.
