At a time when situations of hatred, discrimination, prejudice, racism, etc. are on the rise, it is important to activate society to strengthen European identity and cultivate a culture of respect, tolerance and equality for all. Promoting social cohesion, democracy and human rights is a social emergency and all citizens and institutions must take part in this fight. Recognising that young people are the engine of society, it is urgent that they become involved in society and contribute to solving social challenges. According to the European Youth Development Report (2018), investing in European values is crucial to empowering active and responsible young citizens who can contribute to building inclusive and sustainable societies. As the literature, statistical data and experience on the ground show us, volunteering practices are one of the most effective ways of promoting the advancement of society. In particular, intergenerational volunteering has numerous benefits in terms of incorporating European values, developing skills and activating participation in society. This is because ‘dialogue between generations contributes to a new community awareness, as it develops interpersonal relationships when they come into contact with new experiences of different ways of thinking, acting and feeling’ (Lopes, 2008). By encouraging the sharing of knowledge, experiences and perspectives between different generations, intergenerational volunteering allows for a renewal of opinions and visions about the world and people and offers a concrete opportunity to experience and put European values into practice, while contributing to building a more cohesive and inclusive society. Despite this, in 2020 only 20 per cent of young adults (aged 18-24) took part in volunteering activities (Eurostat), which shows a lot of work to be done. As we recognise the importance of the youth sector in promoting these practices and their potential impact, there is an urgent need to ensure that the sector is prepared to respond to society's needs, such as the need to: - Awareness and practical application of European values; - There are effective opportunities to promote European values, participation in society and the development of citizens' skills; - Recognise the benefits of volunteering, particularly intergenerational volunteering; - The opportunities for social participation are recognised and there is motivation to take part in them. For the youth sector to be able to respond to these needs, it must renew itself, and this project came about to support that and to drive social progress. In the end, youth workers and the sector in general were able to cultivate a generation of informed and responsible young people who actively contribute to their communities and society. - Specific objective 1: Train youth workers in European values and intergenerationality. We sought to provide youth workers with the necessary learning, skills and values to engage young people in exploring and embracing European values. This included understanding the principles of democracy, human rights, social inclusion and diversity. At the same time, we wanted to sensitise youth workers to the benefits of intergenerational collaboration, such as the exchange of knowledge, skills, values and perspectives, as well as the promotion of mutual respect and solidarity, as a way of promoting development. solidarity, as a way of promoting the development of all generations, particularly young people. - Specific objective 2: Empower youth workers with new working practices. We wanted to empower youth workers with the right tools to organise, support and facilitate educational activities (especially non-formal ones) and volunteering projects that allow young people to explore their active citizenship. Since we wanted to give special importance to intergenerational volunteering, we wanted the youth workers to be able to facilitate valuable and enriching volunteering practices after the project, which allow young people to actively intervene in the community and acquire skills at the same time. - Specific objective 3: Fostering European cooperation. Through international mobility experiences (face-to-face and digital), we aim to create opportunities for youth workers to establish contacts, exchange best practices and establish partnerships with organisations from different European countries. By fostering co-operation, we help to improve the quality and impact of youth work across Europe and contribute to the development of a shared understanding of European values and practices.
