The project "Global citizens" will bring together 40 young people from 8 European countries to discuss and reflect together about the global challenges and global issues. Youth in the World is one of the eight priority fields of the new EU Youth Strategy. We share this point of view and believe that young Europeans must be brought up as responsible global citizens, aware of the consequences of their day-to-day behaviour on global level.In our opinion, to be European citizens means also to be responsible global citizens. On the other hand, all the global issues affect also the European countries. The project will make young people more sensitive to selected global challenges like environmental problems and climate change, poverty and social exclusion, human rights, intercultural dialogue, etc. Young people will discover these topics through simulation games, excercises, activities for interaction with local community, discussions in small groups, plenary sessions, concrete actions workshops, etc. These topics require not only formal knowledge, but also the reflection about values and attitudes. That is why the non-formal education needs to be used. Young people will reflect on what they can do in their every day life to behave more responsibly and to inspire also their local community to change their way of life. We will also present young people the Youth in Action programme and motivate them to organise their own projects on local or international level to support global development. After young people come back home, they should act as multipliers of their newly acquired knowledge and experience.We will organise this youth exchange in Oxford which will have also a symbolic value - to bring young people to the university city to reflect about global challenges. It will also enable us to organise workshops for participants, led by prominent academics and experts.
