This project is about the engagement of young people in every-day social matters that concerns them and their advocacy as stakeholders on human rights issues. 30 young participants from 5 European countries (Greece, Italy, Romania, Lithuania and Portugal), coming from different social and economic backgrounds and having different views and ideas, will meet up in Coimbra to participate in a seminar concerning the issues mentioned. Youth are the future of our societies and their participation in the social, political and economic life is essential. This project’s aim is to encourage young people to reveal their leadership skills, capabilities and innovational schemes, showing that youth can play an important role on (re)shaping our societies. Through non-formal ways of education, such as seminars, workshops, games, theater, case-studies and case-management experiences, they will be familiarized with the international human rights instruments, their role and binding; they will gain the knowledge to struggle against inattention and apathy towards social causes, a phenomenon which is very visible in modern societies; they will develop social and communication skills by cooperating with people from different countries and cultures, as well as intercultural and multicultural respect and appropriation. By the end of the project the participants will reflect upon the learning outcomes, giving material to the project itself to get improved for the future. This project doesn’t aim on creating future human rights leaders, but aims to help young people understand that even if we live in societies of social crisis and social deconstruction, things can change. However, if not from the youth, from whom? Social change can only come after the realization that young people’s participation in the commons is crucial from community work till policy-making. This project plans to put the first stone on building a new and fresh future. The journey of the youth exchange will start from observing reality and will grow into a better understanding of who young people are and where they fit nowadays. We want to make clear that we can’t forget the past but we need to put our eyes in the future. And that future will be with the youth of the present. So our youth need to be prepared for the demands and events that are occurring today.
