The project had the goal of getting young people inspired and ready to become active in their own community and use our role-playing approach as a way of inspiring other youths to learn and train useful skills. Young people often have different ideas compared to the established approaches and we wanted to empower them to create their own activities in their home countries. We also wanted them to get other youths active and cooperate to shape better European societies as well as develop their own local communities. The ERA method used in the youth event can best be described this way: The role-playing approach offers an environment in which a stronger European identity can evolve among young people. However, unlike other approaches, our method uses the approach of thrusting teams of young people into situations in which they can immerse themselves and in which they experience national and European values as a fictional character that needs to make difficult choices (such as the balance between individual freedom and the good of the community). Going through this experience is a much stronger and much longer lasting impression than simply discussing European values in a workshop. However, it is possible to adjust the approach to any other setting and scenario once the youth worker is familiar with the system. For instance local problems between people with different ethnic backgrounds could be addressed and understanding and empathy could be evoked. This youth event was a hands-on learning event which helped high potential youths to understand and use the role-playing approach and to take on an active role, show initiative and create their own youth communities. Some of the partners had run the approach already at previous events and shared their knowledge and experience in order to enhance youth work. The event participants were chosen from the partner organizations, but the application for this event was open to other youths in the participating countries. However, since the youth event engaged the participants on an intense level and required a lot of work in small groups we decided to keep the number of participants to 16 (+ 4 leaders). The intention of keeping the group small was to make the experience intense and focused. We wanted the participating youths to act as multipliers once they were back home and share their gathered knowledge and experience with other youths from their countries. This has worked out extremely well with the result of youth becoming active in local school and youth organizations and we have also seen two of the participants deciding to immerse themselves more in learning on an international level and go abroad.
