or resources and establish contacts worldwide. That’s precisely why we have chosen Internet to be our mean to communicate with youngsters. Methodology?
-----------------
• A high demand among youth of information about opportunities, events, funders, activities and resources.
• A little competition in the field, as there is limited specialized daily updated portals specialized only on youth opportunities and services in the MENA region and other parts of the world, and the few portals which already exist are not efficient and don’t provide a complete and massive flow of information.
• An important amount of useful youth-oriented information diffused arbitrarily everyday through classical means of communication. Whereas it can be centered in common medium in one fixed address. In WupY, we target primarily active youth, whether leaders, workers, activists, or talented youth aged 15 to 35 years old, who are longing to find opportunities and resources related to their activities or field of action. Yet, WupY not only targets active youth, but also aims to inspire a number of curious youth to make their first step towards building their capacities or exploring their hidden talents. Mission?
----------
We are a dedicated youth-led team, which has a great deal of experience in working with and for youth and help them reach the highest level of self-fulfillment. The WupY team assures a daily update of the portal content, by collecting through all possible means the useful and trustworthy information and resources youth may need in their road to success. Our mission is to give youth all around the world the three keys to realize their objectives in serving their communities and exploring their inner energies and talents: Information, existing funding opportunities, and skills. WupY ensures that the information youth gets from our portal is reliable, through a process of verification of the sources and double checking. Our team is also open to answer questions and guide the visitors for an optimal usage of our services. Objectives?
--------------
• Building an online community which has a common capital of useful and trustworthy information to share with each other through one free and accessible portal.
• Offering opportunities for youth worldwide to develop their capacities, contributing in building their skills and reactivity, and inspiring them to get involved in the process of change.
• Informing both active and curious youth about activities of interest to them such as events, success stories, best practices of other youth groups and lessons learned, as well as the funders which can support their projects and dreams.
• Assembling a complete and opened database about all the aspects and actors of youth work and resources related to this field, which can help youth network on a global scale with all involved parties. Concept?
------------
The WupY formula is very simple: collecting a maximum of useful and valid youth-oriented information on opportunities, events, active groups, funders, and resources, and putting it in one free and accessible international portal. The first service we offer is to put together a maximum of opportunities which may concern youth such as: scholarships, grants, competitions, prizes etc. These opportunities are introduced in a youth-thought easy way, presenting the descriptions, deadlines, and sometimes even giving external links and downloadable forms. What’s up Youth, also gives a detailed agenda of a maximum of important youth events such as: workshops, seminars, forums, jams, etc. The events are presented with simplified guidelines about how to apply and descriptive paragraphs for a better understanding of the nature of each event. Moreover, WupY helps youth in networking and learning about from the success stories, the best practices and the innovative projects of other youth around the world. This is done through a rich database of involved youth groups, whether NGOs, initiatives, organizations, or other forms of actors working in the field. Because youth dreams and projects need to be supported, assisted, and funded, WupY suggests a growing list of national, regional, and international funders of community youth work or personal projects. Sometimes, youth may need more than funds to succeed. They need technical knowledge and practical skills to achieve their objectives, explore new horizons, or to build new capacities. To meet these needs, WupY offers a variety of resources for youth through its portal, by providing online downloadable tool-kits, manuals and diverse publications. The WupY portal is also a personalized account, up-to-date news, polls on youth issues and more! What’s up Youth have provided a variety of services to youth around the world in the last three years. This is perfectly reflected in our slogan “A Global Youth Network” consisting of 3 categories (Youth Empowerment www.wupy.org - New Media www.wupy.tv a global youth channel and WupY Professional Services, www.wupy.pro) working on the #8 MDG, Global Partnership for Development.
