Objectives

Born in the middle of an emergency historical phase, in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, the project mainly intended to offer an opportunity to rethink oneself, to produce changes with respect to the world, to question settled pillars and certainties now taken for granted. Indeed, the exchange managed to overturn the scheme of a reality, the one we live in, as preordained from "above", recognizing on the contrary a reality that is constantly changing, and on which it is possible to intervene proactively. By placing individual well-being at the center of the reflection, and how this is intimately connected to the collective one, it was possible to hypothesize new possible strategies to be activated. To do this, we started from the difficulties and sufferings experienced and how these were faced. The awareness was shared and achieved of how it is not possible to give centrality to well-being, without placing personal and collective vulnerabilities at the center of reflection (objective 5 European Youth Goals) Intercultural comparison, sharing. But also how did we reorganize ourselves? What reaction has civil society had? Here that in confrontation between opinions and actions has become an opportunity to broaden the responses to the collective field and civil coexistence, to see in the defense of the weakest a possible horizon of action, which concerns us and which involves our actions as European citizens and men/women of the world , also meeting objective 9 of the EYGs. The project also brought out the profound differences of views between people with different cultures and political postures, thus providing an opportunity for an exchange of opinions and democratic confrontation. The map of memories, the perfect week, the path on participation: these non-formal working methods are combined with institutional meetings with experiences of the wounded Hussite territory, with the mayor of the city and the associations committed to the rebirth of the territory. The natural context favored the building of the group and supported the 24/7 model of relationship and discussion, giving life to moments of continuous conviviality and mingling.
