Baku, January 31, AZERTAC
On January 31, U.S. Embassy representatives celebrated with the International Eurasia Press Fund (IEPF) the completion of its “Empowering IDP Youth in the Regions for Civil Society Participation” project, sponsored by the U.S. Embassy.
The project, which began in November of 2017, involved over 75 young people from the IDP communities in Terter, Barda, and Aghdam regions in small community projects and theater performances. The projects raised public awareness about social issues such as drug abuse and protecting the environment, taught the young people vocational and life skills and showcased the talent of IDP community. Through their theater performances, the young people addressed communities in all three regions, educating their audiences on social issues of their choosing, including the prevention of gender based violence, peace-building and eliminating violence and extremism in communities.
