Partner search - Europe for Citizens

Following our positive experience on Project “WOW–Who am I, who are you: European citizenship and intercultural dialogue” (https://woweuropeancitizenship.wordpress.com), Zola Predosa Municipality would like to propose another Project named “BET on! – a Better Europe Together” referring to Europe for Citizens Programme – Strand 2 Democratic engagement and civic participation – Measure Networks of Towns.

Hereinafter some information about project, useful to evaluate your interest to participate to this experience.

Areas carried out under the project: intercultural dialogue; young people’s civic consciousness and participation; youth activities and pro-activity promoting.

Necessities/issues: overcoming psychological and relational boundaries through the knowledge and the comparison between different cultures; acceptance and hospitality towards others seen as enhanced value; opposition to prejudices towards others.

Getting started from the motto the EU adopted in 2000, “Union in diversity”, the activities will let us compare and learn what these young participants have in common and what, instead, make them different from each other, regarding:

• Conciousness of being European citizens and awareness of the opportunities that this citizenship offers;
• Civic participation as a duty, that let us fully benefit from our rights;
• Volunteering as an expression of participation;
• The values that we have in common (freedom of expression, peace, mutual respect).

Targets: young people between 15 and 29 years old from schools / universities / associations / informal groups.

Activities: activities will realized through "video storytelling" to animate the debate on the intercultural theme and to represent the experiences and the feelings of young people. Participants shall getting to know/recognize others as individuals, possessing the same needs/wishes/interests, through English language but also through the language of images, seen as a way of communication to overcome language borders and with a strong and immediate impact.
