Apocalypse
Start date: Feb 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

This is a tri-lateratal youth exchange between Northern Ireland, Denmark and Ireland from 25th July 2016 - 3rd August 2016 which will be hosted in Co Antrim, Northern Ireland. The project will involve 33 young people primarily from disadvantaged backgrounds and 6 leaders.In all three partner countries - many young people view their participation in social, civic and political matters as limited, or in many instances non-existent. They struggle to find belief and confidence in our society while their future prospects are limited and diminished by political policies and whilst our world economy continues to stall. The 'apocalypse' youth exchange is based upon the concept of how we would develop a new society in the event of the end of the world. The young people will develop their own laws, customs and cultures. It aims to motivate the participants to become more active in their own communities and society. The project also aims to promote critical consciousness and initiative in young people whilst developing their personal and social skills. The main aspects of the program are:- Workshops to explore and motivate participants on empowerment and active citizenship.- Educational (Cultural) visits to develop knowledge and understanding- Outdoor education to promote teamwork.- Using media and ICT methodologies during workshops.- Presentation skills linked to employment and communication skills.
