The objective of the workshops is to enhance the capacities of children in developing their own awareness raising campigns on the topics of child rights and gender based violence and domestic violence. After the workshops KGSC in cooperation with an expert will compile a recommendations report that will gather further guide us on the most pressoing issues that children are intersted in. It should be emphasized in the introduction of participatory workshops that different opinions are encouraged and the facilitator's role is to lead the discussion and ensure that the outcome reflects reality in the best way.
