We aim to introduce a combination of informal participatory and training approaches, tools and instruments in order to assist young people to strengthen their citizenship skills and reach fulfillment in an increasingly diverse and pluralistic society both on local and European levels.
To reach these objectives, we designed a methodology based on peer and participatory learning, as research shows that learners are much more likely to engage when they are encouraged to construct their own personal identity and sense of belonging.
The activities making part of the project include:
The formation of Youth Councils in the partnering countries, and cultural activities to promote community building locally.
The organization of both local and European training sessions(physical and virtual) and study visits on democracy, active citizenship in participation, locally and internationally, in order to strengthen their active citizenship competencies and assist them in learning more about other European young people facing similar challenges, as well as exchanging ideas and experiences on resolving them.
Introduce young people to e-learning and e-participation tools and digital storytelling as they are powerful instruments for both individual and group expression, participatory learning and social influence/outreach.
Increase the European awareness of young people from disadvantaged communities through leading them to engage with their peers from other countries and learn from one another. The European cooperation will allow also our organisations to exchange good practices and improve the quality of our youth work.
