Thematic Areas of Focus for IRO Organization

 


Establishing Eco-Clubs at Schools

In collaboration with the Directorate of Education, the pilot Eco-Clubs started to be established in schools within and around Slemani city. These clubs will foster environmental stewardship among students, promoting sustainable practices and increasing awareness of environmental issues.  

Digital Era and Youth Engagement

Underserved youth will be empowered through training in media and soft skills to bridge the workforce skills gap and enhance community resilience. This program aims to provide youth with the tools and knowledge necessary to become active contributors to their communities, thereby strengthening local capacities.

Young Environmentalists

Environmental awareness will be disseminated in basic schools (ages 6 to 15) through mobile interactive theatre performances. This initiative seeks to educate young students on the importance of trees and environmental conservation in an engaging and memorable way.

Youth Café - Youth Hub

A Youth Hub will be established to connect young people within and outside educational institutions, facilitating their engagement with pressing issues in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI). The hub will serve as a platform for youth to collaborate, innovate, and develop solutions to the challenges facing their communities.

Journalism and Environment

In collaboration with organizations focused on media and journalism, the IRO Organization addresses environmental and climate change issues. This will be achieved through training young journalists, engaging social media activists, and conducting various related activities.
