Community Learning - Building Capacity and Empowerment for active citizenship

The general context of each institution involved in our project is that they directly work with disadvantaged and often culturally diverse people and neighborhoods (unemployed, poor people from rural areas, low-income, migrants). These people often experience social exclusion and discrimination. They are not listened to and have little influence over decisions that shape their lives and their neighbourhood/villages. The main objective in this project was to improve and develop informal learning methods that will help to more actively engage people of local communities in influencing their community life and build citizens capacity and empowerment. Besides it we built the strong partnership between EU organizations involved in learning active citizens’ participation of disadvantaged groups (from different EU countries) applying the Community Organizing model.In order to achieve our aims and objectives we enacted: - four joint gatherings for sharing, comparing, and evaluating our local experiences with active citizen participation and teaching methods- two other gatherings – planning and final session- activities involving volunteers to solve community problems based on the method of community organizing.
