Project started with:

• Pilot project: National Youth Forum 

The pilot project was aimed to organize a National Youth Forum in Nepal, bringing together Nepalese youth scouts from all provinces with the purpose of electing and supporting a Youth Council. The project also involved the participation of Danish youth as participants/facilitators, fostering intercultural exchange and discussions on democratic processes within their respective organizations. The Danish participants have gained inspiration and ideas from the interactions with the Nepalese scouts, observing their youth programs and initiatives. Whereas, the Nepalese participants will develop action plans at provincial and national levels, empowering them to become local changemakers. The target groups of the project include Danish and Nepalese youth, as well as the partnering organizations involved.

• Development Visit in Denmark

A delegate from Nepal Scouts traveled to Denmark from May 7th to May 12th to explore a collaborative development project. The visit primarily aimed at strategizing, generating ideas, and establishing connections for upcoming projects scheduled in Nepal for 2024, 2025, and 2026. Additionally, it aimed to facilitate youth engagement, scout center enhancement, activity development, and support for project leaders. Additionally, the recent pilot project was successful in enriching the Youth Forum of Nepal Scouts by laying the foundations of involving youth in decision-making practices.
