Civic Society & Community development

 

 

In 2017 WATERGRATT expanded its areas of operation and expertise through participation in local and international programs, such as Erasmus+, Integration Foundation of Estonia, National Foundation of Civil Society, Police and Boarder Guards of Estonia, Rescue Department of Estonia and other programs. Nowadays our areas of expertise include such directions, as the development of civic society through the creation of educational programs, training courses, seminars and events covering a variety of topics: campaigning, media and communication, project management, intercultural dialogue, inclusion, migration issues, stimulation of the creativity, development of personal professional competencies, prevention of violence and discrimination, peacebuilding and community development. The main target group: young people and adults, interested in acquiring new skills and self-development. We also work with vulnerable groups at risk of marginalisation and social exclusion, such as migrants and refugees, people facing economic difficulties, cultural and religious differences and others. Our staff has relevant education, experience, and skills in project and event management, environment and sustainability, youth work, media, inclusion, communication and PR, branding, community development, cross-sectoral cooperation, campaigning and non-formal education. Staff is experienced in design and delivery of educational programs with a proven history of organisation of educational activities on a local and international level.  

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
KÜSK NGO development programm (Vabaühenduste Arenguhüppe programm)- Watergratt Pirita NGO new educational service development

Project duration: 1.12.2022-31.07.2024


The aim of the project is to increase the development of Watergratt Pirita NGO and reach greater financial stability thanks to the launch of our new service - the implementation of a water safety education program aimed at Harjumaa schools students and youth centers visitors aged 14-18 y.o. 

Idea: We have developed and piloted a unique water safety program for young people. The program includes the most complete and at the same time voluminous course and includes 16 hours (4 in each season). In the first year of starting the program, we plan to organize 15 courses for 12 school classes (3 schools) and 2 youth center groups.


Target group - young people aged 14-18 years - visitors of youth centers and school students.

Problem: low awareness of safe behavior in and near the water sources and ща correct action in a critical situation among young people. Carrying out the program at schools and youth centers will increase the level of safety and informed behavior of young people, which we hope will reduce the statistics of drowning and accidents among young people. Carrying out the program also helps our organization achieve greater financial stability, move forward in achieving statutory goals (achieving a higher level of safety in Harju County), increase the number of team members and create jobs within the team.

Financed and supported by KÜSK National Foundation of Civil Society (kysk.ee)
