Objectives

Living Together is a project that will be hosted for first time inside the structure of unaccompanied minors refugees at Ioannina. For a week 14-21 April 2020 ,young Europeans will live together with young refugges who will participate in our youth exchange (age: 16-22 years old). Eating together, playing together, recieve the exactly same education, talking together about their dreams and future. Without discrimination in a simulation of European society as it should be. The main objective of this project is to raise the awarenes about refugges policies and obstacles that refugges are facing. Also for Eyropean Youth to understand their role as Europeans to fight and secure the HR and European values not only for Europeans but for all. They will be educated in many workshops for active social participation that combined with the raise of their awareness on the objectives above will allow the to be active and change our European society to a better one. We will reveal current state of refugee in Europe giving information for all the current policies. On the other hand through the interaction with young refugees we will reveal the problematic of these policies and we will discuss on possible solutions. The goal of this project is also goal of Erasmus+ project that is to give new skills to young people, to improve their skills, to increase capacity of organizations which are working in youth field. Participants will gain knowledge and compentencies in the topic. Thus, we will create awareness about this situation and we will determine requirements to improve policies which are about current state. In addition we will use Erasmus + to benefit young refugees in order to wide their personal and educational developent. We aim to have a good practice to share with other refugees structures in Greece so we continiue benefit young refugges through EU programms nationwide. With these goals, there will be 38 participants from Greece, Romania, Slovakia, Turkey and Finland. Approximately half of these participants will be selected from disadvantaged groups. There will be frequently different learning methods, social and outdoor activities, visiting to important places and meeting with the local stakeholders.. With this project, people, who live in European Union, can see the works that can be done about refugees and social activation and eggagement of youth and can have opinions that is about how we can improve policies about refugees in order to improve European society. Therefore, awareness of all above will be increased. Moreover, participants will be occurred that will support the campaigns occur in the international arena. An event about our project result will be on 20 April 2020 , while the same event will be repeated as a follow up activity to all the partner countries on 20 June 2020 the refugeees day. At the same time, solidarity and cultural awareness of young people, who live in European Union, will increase and will develop their feelings for citizenship of the European Union. Hence, with the development of the capacity of institutions and organizations under the umbrella of the European Union, both the quality of youth work will increase and better quality of projects and work will arise. What is more, we will have contributed to both the promotion of our country and the steps taken in Greece related to refugges increasing flows. Consequently, information and ideas of local people in Ioannina that is about the topic will increase. In other words, the population will have increased consciousness for the European Union Refugees policies in Greece and they will have seen opportunities offered by the Erasmus program. Living Together is about Living together. Same dreams = Same opportunities – Same needs = Same Resources – Same people we are Same Rights we have!
