SUMMARY:Youth 4 Active Society
DESCRIPTION:Participants: 7 per country (6 participants + 1 group\nleader)\nCountries: Austria\, Poland\, Greece\, Spain\, Serbia\,\nRomania\, Turkey\, and North Macedonia \n  \nProject Description\nAlmost 30 years ago\, Roger Hart developed a model to describe the different forms of youth\nparticipation. He argued that participation was the process of sharing decisions that affect\npeople’s lives and the communities they live in. He believed that participation is the\nfundamental right of citizenship and an integral part of democracy. Thus\, at the center of Hart’s\ndefinition is decision-making. He describes participation as a ladder\, with levels of youth\ninvolvement ranging from nonparticipation to full participation. In that regard\, the European\nUnion’s youth strategy aims to ensure full participation of youth in society both as an overall\ngoal and as the main objective in its 5th field of action—participation—and puts its focus on\nparticipation in representative democracy\, supporting youth organisations and strengthening\nopportunities for learning to participate.\nGiven that\, with the Youth Exchange ‘Youth 4 Active Society’ We seek to gather 56 young people\nacross Europe and show them different ways of actively participating in the decision-making\nprocesses\, as well as the benefits from it on a personal and societal level. Therefore\, during this\nYouth exchange\, the participants will present and put into practice various non-formal\naddressing youth participation used in their countries. In that way\, we want to allow the\nexchange of methods and practices between young people and organisations coming from\ndifferent parts of Europe. \n  \nThe project’s objectives are set as follows:\n– to enable an exchange of different methods used in participants’ counties that contribute to\nactive involvement of young people in the decision-making processes\,\n– To increase young people’s understanding of the challenges of current Europe and to debate\npossible solutions and responses\,\n– To promote European values\, such as human rights and the rule of law\, active participation and\nsocial responsibility\,\n– To allow improving/acquiring presentation and public speaking skills\, communication skills\,\nteamwork\, leadership\, etc.\,\n– To create and disseminate a digital Toolkit with methods and tools addressing active\nparticipation of young people the decision making processes in society\,\n– To promote the Erasmus+ Programme\, Non-Formal Education (NFE) and Youthpass Certificate\,\n– To encourage intercultural learning and to promote cultural diversity. \n  \nProject programme\n \n  \nParticipant profile\n● Motivated to take part in a youth exchange and are interested in the topic of the project;\n● Motivated to implement the experience gained in the YE in their communities;\n● Motivated to build and support international partnerships that will be created during the\nYE for future Erasmus+ projects;\n● Age limit 18 – 25 years old\, preferred;\n● People who are willing to learn more about other cultures by sharing rooms with 3-54\nother people from different countries;\n● People who will be dedicated during the activities\, willing to take active participation\nand be part in creating the final project results \n  \nGroup leaders profile\n● youth workers\, leaders with experiences in international youth field\, with non- formal\neducation based methodology;\n● with previous experiences in the field of youth engagement\, project management\, Erasmus\n+ Programme\, KA 1 – youth exchanges;\n● being able to support the participants during project: to organize and implement\npreparatory meetings\, to communicate with other group leaders in the process of\npreparation of programme\, to assist participants with arranging practicalities for YE\, to\nsupport participants during YE\, especially to support their learning process and active\nparticipation\, to organize and to implement evaluation meetings with participants\, to\nsupport development follow-up activities.\n● There is no age limit set for group leaders. \n  \nWorking method\n● Learning by doing method.\n● Ice-breakers and team building games to get to know each other.\n● Workshops will leave room for discussions and debates\n● Simulation games will allow us to identify current challenges of non-formal education\nand show possible measures that strengthen them.\n● These sessions will provide the participants with concrete ideas that can be implemented in their local communities\, thus ensuring an important multiplier effect. \nAccomodation and food\n \nAccommodation and food are 100% covered by the Erasmus+ programme.
