	Hello everyone, hope you remember me. Here is my respond to the questions of week three. 1. Do you know of efforts among young people to coordinate their efforts on and participation in promoting family planning, reproductive health, addressing sexually transmitted disease and gender equality? Yes. Lately I have participated in an International Outreach Camp, where there was a YES /Youth Engaged in Society/ presentation and we were asked to present new projects. So with another girls I decided to hold seminars on Gender Equality in different communities in Armenia and we were very inspired. We filled in an application, we thought of our objectives and goals and we made posters with them. Now we do our best to get a grant to accomplish our project. 2. In your experience, what conditions have led to the best opportunities for young people to actively participate in activities which seek to promote family planning, reproductive health, and gender equality and address sexually transmitted disease? What have been the greatest barriers? I think that the involvement or volunteering in NGOs leads to participate in many activities. The greatest barrier is their complete unawareness of the issues and sometimes young people¢s indifference. 3. How have the perspectives and opinions of young people been perceived among public and private institutions designing and implementing development programmes, with particular attention to those on family planning, reproductive health, sexually transmitted disease and gender equality? Usually the opinion of the youth is not being taken into consideration and it¢s very bad. People who are elder us think that only they are true and they know everything and they don¢t give the youth the opportunity to implement any development programme. If private institutions perceive the youth¢s opinion and suggestions, it will become easier to persuade the public
