Objectives

„We don’t need no Education” is an opportunity for young people to come to Poland and to get involved in the discussion about education, at the same time developing their sense of criticism and entrepreneurship. More so we want youth to have their own voice and their opinion heard on the matter, something that we believe still doesn’t happen so often. Education is a topic that touches young people’s lives and for such it is important to hear their saying on that. Why is it important to speak about Education? Do we need it? We are seeing radical ideologies coming to the forefront again, youngsters being influenced by hate speeches and following them, other ones dropping out of school for some reason or being denied access to school at all, which still happens to more than 200 million children and teenagers around the world. The workshops and activities planned aim at this: to discuss the topic, have young people’s own say and challenge them on their sense of initiative and entrepreneurship, their sense of critic and own opinion, while spreading awareness on subjects that, direct or indirectly, are entwined with education in society: inclusion, poverty, discrimination, policies making, among others. The participants are invited to be creative, share their thoughts on the activities and engage in constructive discussions with other youngsters who might come from different backgrounds, such religious or economic ones other than the cultural. Here are some of the objectives of the project: • Engaging youngsters in the discussion and encourage them into being part of decisions making. • Empower young people through self-esteem and critical thinking; • Promote an inclusive education, regardless of the background of the youngster. • Challenge participants into creating public campaigns and exhibitions about education at the same time promoting teamwork and organizational skills. • Share and exchange cultural treats and learn more about people across Europe. • Increase the motivation of young people to be part of future projects of formal/non formal education. All of this while having the chance of knowing Bystrzyca Kłodzka, a town of about 10000 inhabitants located in a rural area in the South-West of Poland just few kilometres away from Czech Republic. The region is famous for its mountains, such the black mountains and the Table Mountains, and for its beautiful nature and surprising History.
