This project aims to establish student groups and clubs with shared interests, challenges, and objectives within secondary schools. These groups will identify and prioritize their problems, forming around areas such as economics, employment, art, creativity, culture, sports, environmental health, and other "common" interests. They will mobilize resources to tackle these problems, involving local authorities, NGOs, associations, and businesses.
The overarching goal of the project is to increase the public and social involvement of students by creating groups/clubs that empower them to recognize and resolve their own issues. The project tasks include: 1) identifying student groups/clubs based on common interests, and 2) facilitating collaboration among these groups/clubs to address problems and enhance their skills.
The project is designed to create a minimum of 4 groups/clubs, such as "Filmmakers and Photography," "Art and Culture," "Literature and Poetry," "Eco Club," "Music and Drama (Theatre)," etc. Each group/club will consist of 10-12 members, who will refine their domain-specific skills and improve their overall life skills (behavior and public presentation) through training sessions on "Group Formation and Development" and "Event Organization."

"Umid” Support to Social Development Public Union has begun to implement the project titled "IDP Community Mobilization and Capacity Development in Mingachevir, Goranboy, and Yevlakh” funded by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) as of February 1, 2023. The duration of the project is 11 months. Following a rapid assessment of 12 communities densely populated by IDPs in Mingachevir, Goranboy, and Yevlakh, 6 communities will be selected as project target areas.
The aims of the project are to strengthen the capacity of existing IDP communities to increase their resilience and prepare them to cope with the challenges of the forthcoming return process, inter alia, through Participatory Community Development and Apprenticeship methods.
