EUROPE FOR ALL?
Start date: Jun 17, 2014, End date: Jan 17, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Ten years ago the EU was living one of the most important enlargements of its history with ten new members entering the Union. Nowadays we are facing a complex and difficult European and worldwide scenario, and the new European elections. Through the project “EUROPE FORL ALL?” we would like to explore, by giving concrete answers and innovative contributions, the options for the EU to be an active actor in social change, in and out its borders, in order to ensure social inclusion, effective citizenship of marginalized groups, youth employment, and the building of a multicultural and peaceful society. The specific objectives of the project are: 1- to share and develop new working tools for project development and non formal learning with youth, on the following themes: European citizenship, intercultural / interreligious dialogue and conflict management; social inclusion; 2- to offer networking and new international partnership opportunities which will be able to involve Programme and Partner countries, by sharing challenges, questions and contributions, organisations based in Ukraine and Israele can bring on those themes, with the aim of developing new projects within Erasmus +:Youth; 3- to increase young participants’ transversal and technical skills and competences, and to promote the recognition of these competences, both at national and European level; 4- to promote the meeting between participants of long and short term mobilities (Youth Exchanges and EVS) within Erasmus +, through communication opportunities and the sharing of common knowledge. The partnership composed for the present project mainly benefits from previous collaboration and moreover of a proven experience in these fields, and it includes 8 social organisations: 1- Commissione Sinodale per la Diaconia (CSD - Diaconia Valdese) - Italy - coordinating organisation 2- Volontariat International au Service des Autres, l'Année Diaconale - France 3- Asociación Iniciativa Internacional Joven (2012-ES-158) - Spain 4- Nes Ammim Communication Center - Israel 5- Living Hope - Ukraine 6- MRSZ Alapitvany Onkentes Diakoniai Ev - Hungary 7- NGO Volunteers Sfera - FYROM 8- ProAtlântico - Associação Juvenil - Portugal The project will involve 54 participants: 38 young people aged between 17 and 30, and 16 youth workers, from 8 countries: 5 EU countries (Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and Hungary), 1 from a Non EU Programme country (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia), and 2 Partner countries neighbouring the EU: Israel and Ukraine. 32 of the 54 participants are young people with fewer opportunities (difficult outskirts, rural and mountain areas; disadvantaged families). 5 interconnected activies are included in "EUROPE FOR ALL?": - 3 EVS activies: 5 young people from Programme countries to Italy; 1 young volunteer from a Partner country (Ukraine) to Italy; 4 Italian young people to two partner countries (Ukraine and Israel) - 1 Training and networking activity: 16 youth workers from all partners (8 countries) who will meet in Italy - 1 Youth Exchange activity: 28 young people from 4 countries who will meet in Italy. Though this project, we would like to build together a multimedia (web-blog) and printed (notebook) “Youth Working Tool”, collecting experiences, methods and materials, which will be useful for the work with young people on the following themes: inclusion; transversal and technical competences and skills; multicultural coexistence. Young participants will have the opportunity to increase their skills and competences for their future occupability, both at European and international level, also through the participation to other opportunities within Erasmus +. The project will give the youth workers the opportunity to establish and to strengthen new transnational partnerships, and to increase the competences which can be used in their daily work.
