Be Better Together
Start date: May 8, 2015, End date: Sep 7, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The „Be better Together“ project was based on activities organized for years by Klub Urbanus volunteers for youth that is threatened by social and economic exclusion and lower chances on the job market The project was based on real needs of these young people in order to make their situation on the job market better, to motivate them to higher participation on the social life and aktive citizenship and to promote higher tolerance to different cultures and ideas. Throw understanding the history of nations of former Yugoslavia we have demonstrated to young people how intolerance and xenophobia make end up. We connected them with places and people (throw visiting desolated villages, discussion with witnesses of all nationalities) to show especially to Czech and Slovak participants – used to live in peace and democracy – how thin is the line between human rights and freedom and nationalism, xenophobia and war. The participants got from this project not only skills and abilities, but also the awareness that tolerance and freedom are not always natural thing and that we must very carefully look after them. 12 people from each of the three organisations took part. We worked together throw teambuilding activities, debates with locals, war veterans and decision making personalities, sport activities and trips around. The participants improved their communications skills, argumentations skills and ability to argue in foreign language. They learned how to work with people from other cultures etc. The participating organisations improved their skills in working with other organisations and especially the Croatian one learned a lot about the possibilies of Erasmus+. The skills and improved multi-cultural understanding will be spread in the local communities of participants. The Czech and Slovak particiopants wil also help to strenghten the cross-border cooperation of both republics.
