Objectives

In keeping with the objectives of the Erasmus+ Programme we believe that this project will be a good setting for working on inclusion and diversity. Our youth have often voiced a concern that they feel stigmatised simply because they are living in foster care. This project will give them the opportunity to exchange experiences with youth their own age but in an entirely different cultural setting and using a medium that they feel very comfortable with. We have identify the following key objectives: 1. Increasing self-esteem and initiative of particiapnts by giving them the opportunity to record a personal story that shows their ability to overcome obstacles and difficulties they may face; 2. Supporting youth in gaining a deeper cultural awareness and strengthening intercultural dialogue; 3. Improving key competences such as: initiative, working in a diverse environment, independence and communicating with a team; 4. Strengthening language skills which will allow project participants to become active members of the EU community and seek other international project opportunities. Improving language skills also usually leads to significant increase of grades in school which additionally boosts the self-steem of our participants; 5. Enhancing media literacy by using the digital story telling method.
