21st Century Youth Foundation
Chisinau, Moldova
The Youth Foundation 21st Century is a nongovernmental organization, whose
main goal is to promote values of civil society, as well as to contribute
to the improvement of a democratic society in the Republic of Moldova.
Furthermore, the Youth Foundation 21st Century strives to create an
awareness among the citizens of the Republic about freedom of speech,
protection and conservation of the environment, NGO development, the youth
of Moldova, and Moldovan culture. As a member of the National Youth Council
of Moldova, the Foundation hopes to work in collaboration with all youth
organizations of Moldova and abroad. The Youth Foundation 21st Century was
established in 1994, due to the initiative of a group of young journalists.
In 1994, the Foundation, in collaboration with the Youth and Sport
Department of the Republic of Moldova, organized a camp (Poesis) which was
designed to promote the literary works of those young writer participants
both from side of the river Prut. At the end of 1995 to the beginning of
1996, the Foundation carried out a variety of ecological activities: a
conference called "Surviving Together" in which the environmental NGO
leaders from the regions near the rivers Nistru and Prut participated;
prepared a report, "Main Environmental Organizations", which was
incorporated in the New-Rec Feasibility Study that was discussed at the
Sofia Conference of Ministers of the Environmental of European Countries;
and participated in the conference, Black Sea Youth Cooperation, which
resulted in the establishment of a Youth Network who promotes collaboration
among youth organizations of the Black sea region. In August of 1996, the
Foundation, in collaboration with the National Youth Council of Moldova,
facilitated a training course in the field of Associative Life, where
representatives of Moldova Associative Youth organizations traveled to
three different cities in Romania (Suceava, Cluj, and Lasi) to observe,
learn from, and collaborate with these Romanian youth NG0s. In conclusion,
at the end of 1996, the Foundation organized a seminar, Youth Partnership,
whose goals included making acquaintances among youth structures from both
Romania and Moldova with the hope of collaboration and partnership at a
regional level. Within the InfoTin Moldova project, financed by EURASIA
Foundation (USAID), during eight months we held seminars and conferences on
the development of the youth associative structures. Also, within this
project a Catalog of Youth NG0s of Moldova was published. These activities
pursued to develop collaboration among youth organizations in Chisinau and
those throughout the Republic.
Currently the Youth Foundation 21st Century is implementing a project
co-financed by the European Union, aimed at the institutional development
of the Youth Center InfoTin.
