Objectives

The youth exchange “What’s Your Story?” is about Active Citizenship, empowering young people to have engagement and participation in society, valuing contributions made by themselves. It involves starting to care about one’s family and friends, neighborhood and environment, volunteering to help out others, simply being active in expressing ideas or actions for solutions to global issues. There is also very essential engagement - participation in democratic decision making processes in local, national and international levels. Taking into account the following factors we have come with the idea to have a world with more Active Citizens, which can lead to more positive encounters within and between communities and cultures, characterized by openness and a desire for mutually positive learning and benefit. As a tool for raising awareness about active citizenship and its role in society among citizens, we will use Digital Storytelling. During the 8-day project, participants will get to know each other, about the topic and digital storytelling and get relevant knowledge and skills to make their own STORY. Objectives of the project are: To raise awareness about Active Citizenship, Human Rights and Democracy To promote intercultural dialogue and social responsibility among young people and impulse their engagement in community life To encourage creative and critical thinking To give the opportunity to learn and broaden knowledge and skills about Digital Storytelling as a means to spread the message To create a safe atmosphere where cultural dialogue can occur To contribute to the promotion and development of non-formal learning
