Objectives

The objectives of the project for the participants is to increase their confidence, teamwork skills, project management, cooperation, intercultural awareness, empathy, and knowledge of the refugee situation in Europe. Also, to increase their active citizenship on a local, national and international level. They will gain technical skills by creating an online platform with the aim to promote and discuss civic engagement, activism as a democratic practice, and the current refugee situation in Europe. Through the project and the online platform the participants should know how a democratic Europe could be and what role the civil society should take. The project will use different non-formal methods to enhance an understanding of the refugee situation historically and politically, but also focus on the ethical and philosophical areas with intercultural dialogue and solidarity. For organizations we hope that they can increase their organizational capacity. We want each organization to learn from each other through the process. Each organization will learn more about communicating, web page building and maintaining, and gain ideas from the Youth Exchange that will happen they can bring back. The objective for this project is for all involved: - Learn more about the refugee situation - Learn about how the EU has handled the current refugee situation and why it has been that way - Enhance critical thinking and discussion techniques - Give youth the skills to be active citizens in their communities - Strengthen the sense of initiative, confidence and responsibility for the youth for the future - Gain critical thinking skills and how to research how to create better and equal opportunities for all citizens regardless of prejudices - Reflect upon activism as potential democratic practice and tool for being a change maker - Reflect upon how a democratic Europe should look like, and in particular how you can be a part of that process - To create an online platform for active citizenship activities which will give both skills in planning, reflection, critical thinking and technology
