Global Youth Network is an international program of Good Neighbors International that brings together children and young people from different countries to promote global citizenship, leadership, and social responsibility. The project aims to increase awareness of global challenges and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while developing collaboration, communication, and active civic engagement skills among youth.
Participants will take part in a series of training sessions and practical activities designed to strengthen their understanding of global issues and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as to develop leadership, critical thinking, and teamwork skills.
Through participation in the program, students are expected to expand their knowledge of global challenges, enhance their communication, teamwork, and leadership skills, and become more active contributors to addressing issues within their communities.
On November 2nd, 2024, Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic organized Girl’s Football Cup in the frame of “Girls Empowerment Club” project.
This project helps girls feel strong and capable of achieving goals, overcoming stereotypes and strengthening their self-confidence. We are confident that sport is a great way to unlock inner potential and unite young people.
