Be better, be Citizen
Start date: Mar 10, 2014,

Youth Exchange: "Be Better, Be Citizen" will take place in Georgia and will bring together 46 youngsters and group leaders coming from Georgia, Poland, France, Italy, Portugal, Turkey, Bulgaria, Ukraine and Armenia.As a target group, the project involves young people of different social backgrounds (primarily with fewer opportunities): four from each country, plus 1 group leader. The young people involved represent vulnerable categories of youths, who are coming from rural areas and/or post-conflict areas, or who are having difficulties integrating into new European environments as a result of recent migration of their families. The project will focus on issues related to building personal identity along with identifying the notion of European citizenship. To reach this objective the participants will share their opinions and discover the sense of the notion ‘European citizenship’ and its content in the context of rights and obligations of a European citizen and the way, this is understood in various partner countries to ultimately come to some mutual consent. The participants representing various EU and non-EU countries will provide further dissemination of the results obtained in the course of the exchange. To reach the objectives, we will provide young participants with respective means, space, and opportunities to work on the issues of the project. We will also provide them with the support and encourage them to exchange their personal experience and knowledge related to the topic and traditional views on the subject common in their countries, thus, providing interpersonal and intercultural exchange among young people. We expect, that the debates on the topic due to differences in interpretation of the same terms in various cultures, will serve as the foundation for launching a dialogue, developing tolerance and finding a mutually acceptable consensus – these being one of many important qualities and skills for European citizens.
