Association of Active Youths of Florina (OENEF)
Description and aims of OENEF:
The
efficient and correct function of the norms and grades of the elected,
regional and peripheral local government is a fundamental prerequisite
for the correct function of a democratic society that everybody wishes.
The problems that young people face today in every aspect of their
social and professional level are intense and various. Therefore, the
regions and their norms should further contribute into the support of
young citizens. Consequently, young people should and must be more
active participants.
OENEF
was founded because of the need for active participation of the youth
in public and for further contribution in sociological, cultural and
environmental issues. Furthermore OENEF has the ambition to push young
people into activities through dialogue, consideration and exchange of
ideas as well as finding solutions and suggestions to issues that
concern our society. OENEF’s ultimate aim is the real enhancement of the
norms that already exist.
Our
aim is to create a body in which decisions will be taken directly from
its base (its members) and those decisions will seriously be taken into
consideration with the ancient meaning and form of Democracy and the
demands of our era. It is imperative that young people, who feel that
they want to offer, should take part in cultural events, social
incentives and in exchange-expressions of ideas. Our priority is the
close collaboration with equivalent sociological and cultural bodies
that share the same interests with us in Greece and abroad as well. The
target of coming in contact with such bodies is meeting new norms that
have to do with social, cultural and environmental aspects. Last but not
least, our aim is to clarify the dialogue and various opinions, through
simple democratic procedures in order to find solutions to problems
that our society faces nowadays.
The
most distinctive feature of OENEF is the fact that it is open to
everybody who wishes to participate actively in its activities either as
a member or a friend by taking part in one of its Working Groups,
dealing with various topics and activities. OENEF is a Non-Governmental
Organization- an independent body- through which everybody will have
the chance and possibility to discuss the issues that concern him. In
addition to that, he will be able to suggest solutions, to give his
professional point of view and experience and to offer new insights and
ideas. This distinctive feature is the ‘secret’ for its successful
function.
