Shaping the Future: A Center for Khaliun’s Youth
Ustinov Foundation projects
About the project
Goal
Creating Opportunities for Youth in Mongolia
- The Gobi-Altai region in Mongolia is characterized by high unemployment and a lack of prospects among youth.
- With the support of the Peter Ustinov Foundation and as part of a BMZ project, a youth education center will be established in Khaliun to provide educational and recreational opportunities as well as career prospects for young people.
- The Peter Ustinov Foundation is contributing a small but crucial part of the own funds required for the project’s implementation.
Project
A Place for Education, Interaction, and Development
- Construction of a youth center as a learning and meeting place for young people.
- Conducting basic courses: “Life Skills” and “Career Preparation” to promote self-organization, conflict resolution, and career orientation.
- Specialized courses on topics such as gardening, health, renewable energy, digital skills, and creative techniques.
- Installation of a photovoltaic system and provision of computer rooms.
- Involvement of the village community in the construction and design of the center.
- The project is funded as part of a BMZ program, complemented by own funds, including a contribution from the Peter Ustinov Foundation.
Success
A Sustainable Center for Education and Community
- Over 50 young people acquire important skills and certificates for their professional future through the courses.
