Europe Identity - The Art of Weaving Cultures
Start date: Mar 20, 2015, End date: Nov 19, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project European Identity - The Art of Weaving Cultures aims to implement a Youth Worker Mobility project - Training Course (TC). This TC will be held in Darlington , UK, from 20/03/14 to 26/03/14. Our participants will be 30 youth workers from united Kingdom, Moldova, Romania, Spain, Bulgaria, Georgia, Slovakia, Turkey, Italy , Macedonia. We aim that these participants have the opportunity to learn new strategies and methods to work with young people on intercultural learning and cultural identity awareness projects; to discover different youth work practices around this topic; to explore the concepts of cultural identity development in young people; to map identity related issues on local and European youth work and to present ERASMUS + and Youthpass as tools to promote the value of Intercultural Learning and Diversity. The working methods planned during the TC are mostly non-formal education training sessions, using interactive methods like: plenary debriefings, small group discussions, peer to peer sessions, games, cooperative exercises and self directed learning. The sessions will mostly but not only cover the following themes: Intercultural Learning, Cultural Identity, Methods and strategies of facilitating Intercultural learning processes and the opportunities of the Erasmus + program. Other methods to be used by the partnership will be online communication trought: emails, social networks and skype in order to devide tasks and discuss each step of the project from preparation to follow-up. As a result we intend to create more capacity and engagment in these group of youth workers to work on intercultural issues, both on local and international level. We also want to increase our organizations capacities to develop more projects on an European Level. The impacts and long term benefits envisaged are: local organisations with more capacity to work internationally; youth workers more aware of their young peoples' cultural identity and more motivated and prepared to implement intercultural learning processes with them; young people and communities that become more tolerant by learning to value their diversity and cultural backgrounds
