DREAMOCRAZY
Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: Jan 1, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Southern Europe is in crisis. All aspects of society are in decline: economy, politics, values... These multiple crises generate a feeling of hopelessness among young people, but also a need to get involved in solving them. Is spreading the idea that we have to be young people who collectively build fair solutions to social problems that affect us. However, we are missing an instruction manual , a roadmap to guide us in this process. Many times we are orphans of models to inspire us in achieving a more democratic and participatory society. That's why it's so necessary to create vehicles for exchanging ideas and experiences among countries that share similar crisis. DREAMOCRAZY is a project of 13 months duration that seeks to respond to this need by creating a common strategy between associations from Spain, Portugal and Greece. This strategy will pivot on the promotion of youth participation by using liquid democracy as a model and as a methodology . We aim to create and share tools that enable youth of our respective local communities to visualize a process of social change and feel involved in it. For that we'll work closely in organizing local actions that serve to motivate and empower youth in order to cause the change. Locally, each partner will coordinate an online newspaper run by a group of at least five young people that collects local news with a youth point of view, expressing proposals and concerns that affect to our generation. In the same way will produce three documentaries that collect inspiring examples of youth participation in each of the partner countries. This local work will have international relevance since in going to be monitored and will receive advice from the other partners. We'll facilitate the exchange of experience by translating each of the the project results to several languages and by disseminating them. Also is planned the creation of a mobile application that, in a fresh and interactive way, will introduce different concepts related with youth participation. As a result of the project arise transnational synergies that will enhance the quality and impact of our actions on youth empowerment and help to strengthen an international network promoting liquid democracy.
