“F.O.L.K. for Justice” was inspired by the last Erasmus+ projects in which Entrejuegos and the partners took part and it merged their main themes: “N.A.T.U.R.E.+”, “World Peace Too”, "Youthgoals: a pathway to practical implementation", "While the wolf is not around", "Focus on democracy" or “Totem R.I.S.E.”. The common point resulted upon the reflection on these experiences from our volunteers, was the figure of the forest outlaws from the past, which surprisingly, in one way or another, were present in many cultures in Europe, relatively during the same historical periods: Haiduci (Balkans), Briganti (Italy), Bandoleros (Spain), Klefti (Greece), Cossaks (Ukraine). Besides historical researches, lots of the information about them comes from songs, movies, books, poems and other forms of arts and culture, diverse from country to country or from region to region, generating similarities and differences. High social classes of the past were imposing taxes for their own economic stability, creating a gap with the lower classes also in terms of social, educational or cultural opportunities. The outlaws were fighting against social injustice and corruption, helping the poor ones and the social progress, considering forests and mountains their home. Lack of economic stability as individual, family, community or region, leads to a general deficiency of literacy, civic sense and even health or self-esteem, while poverty, hunger or social exclusion are around the corner. Inspired from the past, nowadays, we consider Outlaws as form of activists and independence lovers, promoting peace, its values and general well-being, equity among citizens, equality in rights, respect for nature, democracy and freedom, aligning with the European values or priorities. According to EuroStat, Romania was leading at the risk of poverty among EU-28 countries in 2017, with a rate of 23.6%, followed by Italy, Spain and Greece with an over 20% rate as well, while according to United Nations Development Program “despite economic growth, about 60 percent of Ukrainians live below the official poverty line”. Considering that the Debt to GDP ratio in these 5 countries (involved in the application) is on average 100%, and 80.4% in EU-28 countries (in 2018), questions arised among young people regarding the future of social progress and sustainable development, or else, if the general sense of well-being in the future will be wide spread or rather stretched. With the COVID-19 lockdown, more and more people were at the edge of poverty and there was a strong need to debate the future of economy and social classes during and after this pandemic. The motivational heritage from the outlaws’ forms of art is inspiring us, the young generation, to step ahead and stand for our rights and needs of self-connection, connection with the others and their cultures, with diversity or nature. There was also diversity in the perception of the outlaws, as on one hand, they are seen as bandits, and on the other hand, which we are plan to focus and explore more about, is their romantic heroes’ perspective, in order to create a thematic and interactive atmosphere for an increased quality of the project and the learning process. More so, this application came out from the need and curiosity of young people to approach serious issues in an entertaining way, so 4 main objectives were to be underlined, together with 4 main concepts: – to make a parallel of oppression and discrimination matters from the past and from the present, by offering 30 participants educational tools in order to create and share good practices during all the project’s phases, towards solidarity, equity, inclusion and social justice, – to enhance European Citizenship and European values (human rights; dignity, freedom of speech, democracy), regarding the topic, among 30 participants, empowering creative and critical thinking through the confrontation of ideas and experiences, using a non-formal methodology towards defining individual needs, sense for responsibility and selfawareness, - to explore the outlaw folk culture in 5 different European countries and how they shaped part of our history and our cultural identity, embracing diversity by appealing intercultural dialogue and different forms of art, according to the participants’ knowledge, talents and interest, - to encourage sustainable approaches, respect for nature and spiritual introspection by developing an 8 days youth exchange in an inspiring natural background, where responsible use of resources, outdoor activities and reflection will be heading the community spirit, empathy and environmental awareness.
