The project EUROPEAN PHOTOSYNTHESIS is a follow-up result of an exchange of creative ideas and joint work between participants that took part in the Training Course “Guide to Erasmus+ Applications”, also realized by Associação de Promoção Social, Recreativa, Desportiva e Humanitária de Maceira in July 2018. The idea to organize this project stemmed from the perception and conclusion that, in this modern ICT age, when social networks and their revolutionary ability for instant worldwide information spreading have an immense and proven power to shape people’s way of thinking, photography can be a very effective instrument for promoting cultural diversity and bonding people with different cultural, religious, social, economic background, or other status that makes them “different” from one another. The meaning of the word “photosynthesis” is well known in the context of biology. In this project, however, we dare to use it giving it a different meaning: “photo-“, because photos have central role in the project, and “synthesis”, because it means mixture, blend, fusion of different things into a whole. Our project aims precisely at that: connecting, mixing young Europeans through photographing Europe’s cultures, and presenting Europe’s cultural diversity through photos. As its specific objectives, EUROPEAN PHOTOSYNTHESIS aims at fostering cultural diversity and intercultural learning through providing young people with knowledge on photographing and visually presenting and sharing their experiences of encountering new cultures; stressing the importance of accepting cultural diversity through non-formal and informal learning activities focused on breaking stereotypes and prejudice; upgrading the capacities of youth organizations and competencies of youth leaders for delivering beneficial cultural activities in their communities aimed at promoting diversity and activating young people, including people with fewer opportunities; stimulating active European citizenship through non-formal learning workshops promoting the uniqueness of the EU.
