In the context in which recent data shows that 45% of young people between 18 and 29 years old believe that the communist regime had a positive impact on Romania, and voter absenteeism among young people aged 18 – 25 has reached 75%, we observe a lack of applied historical education, reduced civic engagement, and increased vulnerability to nostalgic narratives and radicalization. Thus, through this project we aim to develop the civic thinking skills, civic literacy, and applied history of a group of 10 young people (18 – 21 years old), offering them the opportunity to visit 5 European countries and directly interact with places, events, and communities relevant for democratic memory. Identified needs: Considering the high percentage of young people in Romania who view the communist period positively and their predisposition to believe nostalgic or distorted information about that period, we believe there is an urgent need to develop critical thinking and a correct understanding of the historical context through direct contact with places, events, and witnesses of the revolutions in Europe. The limited involvement of young people in democratic life and the lack of opportunities for international travel to better understand Europe’s shared history and cultural diversity are becoming increasingly problematic in a socio-political context where extremism and populism are gaining ground. There is a need for practical contexts in which young people can apply their acquired historical and civic knowledge, interact with locals from different cultures, and actively contribute to promoting democratic memory and European values in their communities. Objectives: The development of civic literacy, applied history, and critical thinking skills of 10 young people aged between 18 – 21, using a logbook, where by the end of the project 100% of the participants will have completed at least 5 documented reflections (one for each city visited), identifying at least three new historical facts and explaining how these influenced their perception of totalitarian regimes. Encouraging a pro-active attitude towards democratic participation of 10 young people aged between 18 – 21, through a short report sent to the organization, describing how they actively participated in at least two local civic actions (debates, meetings with authorities, community events, etc.), within a maximum of three months after the end of the mobility. The integration of intercultural dialogue of 10 young people aged between 18 – 21, through interaction with at least five locals from different age groups (through interviews) and documenting these interactions in the logbook, being presented at the end of the mobility with the purpose of highlighting two examples of good intercultural practices observed (e.g., exchange of traditions or language).
