Ung i Gladsaxe works on the basis of a community-creating and participation-oriented approach, where the focus is on creating dynamic youth environments that are based on young people' interests and needs, provide a safe environment and motivate for active participation, commitment and responsibility. It is our ambition to be visible resource-persons for young peoplewhere they are - not only in existing youth clubs, but also in the local area and the city's spaces. Ung i Gladsaxe is supposed to build a bridge between young people in primary and lower secondary schools, youth educations, municipal support initiatives, associations and cultural life. Based on a basic pedagogical relationship work, we aim to work, with focus on not doing activities for young people, but to do activities with young people, as well as trying to enable them to self-organize activities and projects. “Ung til ung” is an example of a project, where youngsters works with solidarity. More specifically, the project focuses on youngsters in the local community, to be more visible for the whole city, by making events for everyone. Events for young people, elderly and people from all kind of cultures, as it is an intercultural group. These events include making and eating dinner together, going to the theatre, going to concerts etc. What are the skills and expertise of key staff/persons

Main projects and activities:
- Local and international workshops based on participatory media (mainly digital storytelling and participatory photography) addressed to people at risk of exclusion (migrants, refugees, homeless, people living in deprived areas, people with disabilities and others);
- Facilitators’ workshops aiming at equipping civil society activists with the aforementioned methods;
- Development of educational curricula and publications promoting participatory media;
- Board meeting once a month;
All the activities implemented by Upstream Stories are based on money from the donors and do not require entry fee from participants in order to provide inclusion for people with limited financial resources.

Our team of 6 persons make video interviews with people who are influenced by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. An interview usually takes 2 hours. It can be people who have contacted us through our website or have otherwise heard about the project, or it can be people that WE ask to share a personal experience related to the conflict. The interview is edited to a 5 min.s video clip and published on our website. In this way a forum for sharing personal consequences of the conflict system is held, for stories to inspire stories, especially in the non-blaming way they are told with Nonviolent Communication. On the website, people can comment on the videos. So far we have 13 video clips on our site, the 14th is on the way. A further prospect is to have the website and all video clips subtitled in English, Arabic and Hebrew, to ensure equal language access to the material (so far all is in English only). http://voice-by-voice.org. Please see attached budget for planned activities.
