GYAN
France (Global Youth Action Network) is a non-governmental
organization that acts as an incubator of global partnerships among
youth organizations.
OUR
VISION: GYAN France believes that civil society
is an integral part of democratic culture. An active civil society
is necessary to achieve both participatory government and sustainable
development. GYAN-France thus supports civil society in all its
forms - but with an emphasis on building one of society's most valuable
assets - youth.
GYAN
France endorses and sponsors programs aimed at increasing youth
participation in government decision making as well as in service.
GYAN supports youth service through internationally coordinating
Global Youth Service Day and coordinating various other opportunities
on the international level for youth engagement, such as the Youth
Participation Initiative. We believe that young leaders who will
take a role in government tomorrow should be raised in a culture
of service today.
GYAN
France also promotes projects to encourage youth to engage in critical
thought about the major policy and political questions of today,
and to express their opinions through a wide variety of publications,
fora, and round tables hosted by GYAN. Throughout all of these programs,
our core goal is the realization of youth's full potential to contribute
to society as civic actors.
OUR MISSION is to
facilitate youth participation and intergenerational partnership
in global decision-making; to support collaboration among diverse
youth organizations; and to provide tools, resources, and recognition
for positive youth action.
