Home — Frontline Youth Network

We stand for Peacebuilding. Human rights. Envoirmentalism.

Frontline Youth Network (FYN) is a community of young people aimed at connecting and empowering young people from rural and borderline communities.

Our mission is to create a resource center for youth – ensuring cooperation that enables many young people to move from problems into sustainable solutions. Through our work, we want to bring youth perspectives into the existing peacebuilding, green, and human rights discourses in our country.

Our vision is to have a sustainable active community where young people are involved in policy-making and decision-making processes. We create resource opportunities, promote networking, provide mentorship and training for young leaders in order to make positive contributions to our communities, society and beyond.

Our values: peace, green, feminism, inclusive, participation, empowerment

What we do?

Diversity in the activities, methods, approaches, tools and priorities is a key element for FYN in its work of empowering youth in their communities.
The current public event methods of topical deliverables are as follows:

FYN activites

Social entrepreneurship

Networking

Yoga Classes

We believe that non-formal education methodology, being interactive, participatory and experiential, responds to the needs and interests of young people, is based on the values of inclusion and democracy, and offers more meaningful empowerment for youth. NFE as a method is a basis for each activity of FYN. It also includes seminars, training, workshops, mentorship, study visits, debate, simulations, discussion, etc.

“Seed the Change” Summer School is designed for young people aged 16-24 who want to deepen their knowledge in the fields of activism, advocacy, education, environment, human rights and peacebuilding. The Summer School is implemented in the form of non-formal education.

Our 5-day long Summer School includes daily thematic workshops (both theoretical and practical), morning and evening activities, yoga, movie screenings, table games and more. The training is organized based on the “Seed the Change” youth activism toolkit.

Following the four days of the school, FYN will hold the General Assembly, which meets annually and discusses the organization’s strategic development plans and future goals as well as runs Executive Committee membership elections. Participants will have the opportunity to monitor and observe democratic processes and gain valuable insights into the organization and FYN structure from within.

From March 2020 FYN is a member of the Cooperation and Development Network, Eastern Europe. We are keen to invest in strengthening its ties with CDN and its members, and thus widen our green network to contribute to youth-led and youth-driven green advocacy in Eastern Europe.

FYN is open and responsive to all initiatives that correspond to its values, are within its capacities, and to the interest and benefit for its members. Hereby we would like to stress our importance of cooperation with different stakeholders on a local and international level.

When things change inside you, things change around you. Whether it’s peace of mind or peace on earth you’re after, it all begins with making an effort to be more calm and present․ This is the idea behind YOGA.
Yoga as exercise is a physical activity, yoga as a spiritual concept is the union of body, mind, and spirit.
For the first time, yoga class is organized for young women and girls of Berd by Frontline Youth Network

We believe in Feminist, Green, and Peace ideologies.Our work is based on inclusivity, participation, and empowerment.
