The main goal of this Partner Identification project is to analyze the possibility of establishing a more longterm project cooperation between DSU and the Liberal Youth of Colombia (ONJL). The project is managed by DSU?s South America Group and International Committee. The Partner Identification will be conducted in Colombia, where DSU?s South America Group will meet with activists from ONJL and their mother party, the Liberal Party of Colombia. In advance to handing in this application, DSU and ONJL has agreed that a longterm project may focus on youth participation in democracy, which is why we will also visit local youth councils in the regions of Cundinmarca, Antioquia, Caldas, Toloma and Santander. We will also meet with local youth councillors, who are not affiliated with ONJL in order to conduct a thorough context analysis. DSU and ONJL are sister organizations and are organized as such in the International Union of Socialist Youth (IUSY). We thus share values of solidarity, minority rights, democracy and gender equality. However, we have not had bilateral project cooperation before, and we therefore need to conduct a Partner Identification study prior to applying for a full scale project. Both ONJL and DSU have worked successfully with youth participation in politics and democracy before, and we therefore hope and expect to constitute a proper match. For instance, DSU has worked with the issue in the Philippines for years. These are also the reasons why DSU will only meet with one potential partner organization during the trip. During the study, DSU and ONJL will hold meetings, where we will discuss and and explore the potential partnership between our organizations. During the Partner Identification, we will also explore how DSU and ONJL together can begin a DUF project partnership to help more children and young people have their voices heard - for instance through regional youth councils. We will look into how DSU can tribute to this by speaking to youth councillors around Colombia to understand more in depth the issues, they are facing. Please notice: DSU?s South America Group has submitted two partnership identification applications for this deadline for the International Pool - Columbia and Argentina. If both partnership identifications are granted, we will consider, if it is possible to visit both Colombia and Argentina in one trip in order to minimize the plane ticket costs. Flying to South America is very expensive, and we hope it would be possible to find a solution with our partner organizations in order to minimize the cost.
