The project idea arose from the perception of the lack of cohesion among the members of the EU states, which is due to various problems and challenges, such as Brexit, refugee policy, a shift to the right, also among young people, the climate crisis, the progressive individualisation of society instead of cooperation, etc. The interest and belief in the importance of the EU continues to wane. The interest and belief of European citizens in the importance of the EU is dwindling. The aim of the project was to counteract this development, to bring Europe closer to the young people and to encourage them to change their perspective. This was done by the young people from Italy and Germany looking at their common cultural heritage, actively shaping their common future and reflecting on common values. In the spirit of equal opportunities, the project was also aimed at young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and with health restrictions. In two one-week encounters, the participants worked together in multinational workshops in a results-oriented manner, which in Konradsdorf, Germany, revolved around exploring the common past using the example of the Celts ("What connects us" - Sharing our Heritage) with a simultaneous look at possible occupational fields in the museum and in the historical field. While the focus in Konradsdorf was on exploring the common past, the focus in Italy was on the present and the future of the young people, e.g. digitalisation and taking initiatives in education and work as well as shaping their own and our common future (Sharing our Future). Through multinational cooperation, cultural diversity was recognised and intercultural exchange promoted, as well as the opportunity to actively shape the future of the EU as European citizens. Through the active participation of the young people in the design of the project, they were involved in democratic processes. Furthermore, historical competences were promoted by "getting to know" their common ancestors, the Celts, through active research. In both encounters, extracurricular places of learning or companies were used, among others. In Germany the museum "Keltenwelt" in Glauberg, in Italy the website design company I-Image and the manufacturer of industrial hoovers IVision. In addition, we also focused on the "key competences for lifelong learning" (according to the "European Reference Framework" for competence acquisition), which are important, among other things, for the success of young people on the labour market (e.g. promotion of intercultural competence, competence of mother tongue and foreign language competence, self-initiative, computer and media competence, learning competence, etc. - see more detailed description in the following point). In times of great challenges in Europe and worldwide, the young people were able to experience solidarity and European togetherness through the project. All participants were encouraged to cultivate private and professional relationships across national borders, to work together internationally and to establish and maintain friendships. In this context, we achieved another goal that was very close to our hearts, namely the refreshment of the successful partnership between Pesaro and Konradsdorf that had existed since 2003 and had been paused as a result of Corona.
