YOUROCRISIS ALTERNATIVES
Start date: Jun 20, 2014, End date: Dec 19, 2014 PROJECT  FINISHED 

TOPIC: Entrepreneurship and European citizenship. TITLE: YOUROCRISIS ALTERNATIVES. We worked in a youth exchange in Turkey on the Euro - crisis preceding developments and possible solutions. Also in 2013 Deméter developed a Youth Initiative called Social Economy = Social Equality, where participants from 5 European countries (Poland, Lithuania, Turkey, Portugal and Spain) investigated the social economy enterprises as an alternative to the crisis that led to our countries to unemployment or precarious employment. They concluded the social economy is an interesting alternative that is worth knowing for everyone. Therefore, we propose to optimize the results coming a step further, we can analyze European policies undertaken and its results and alternatives that we may have, on the subject of entrepreneurship and unemployment and the search for alternatives on this context of crisis, being the social economy a possible solution. Also we think that the project will be richer if it take part other sectors such as local politicians and the local population. The project will be implemented from 9th to 20th July 2014 with 38 participants (including 7 leaders) from 6 countries (Spain , UK, Portugal, Italy, Norway and Turkey) that make up a diverse group in terms of culture and position in front to the Euro - crisis. 20 of them are disadvantaged for social reasons (especially the ones coming from the Turkish Kurdistan where the female role is relegated to the background, but our fellow strives to change the situation), economic and geographic. We ourselves live in a corner of Europe, less accessible (especially from Mus) and in most of the regions we suffer a high unemployment (Sanlúcar arrived in European podium) or our emigrants' fellows from Norway or the UK. We will make many dynamics to strengthen the group and get a better result. Emphasize intercultural learning with national nights, cooking, dancing, and enjoying our music, participating alongside all countries, not just exposing the protagonist team. We will have numerous discussions on the crisis, policies used, alternatives and entrepreneurial initiatives. We can show our town and make questionnaires to the local population and other sectors. Performing the sample results creatively through video and photographs. The methodology is based on cooperation, small groups work and the completion of results together. We strengthen intercultural relationships and learning, while fostering contact with other sectors of the local population and sample results which enhances the creative initiatives. We hope to get a better understanding of the crisis and what measures have been taken, but especially what is in our hands to do and be aware of our capabilities in the European framework in which we live. We raise the visibility of Erasmus + program and local participation. The impact is not limited to the participants but intends to grow with the participation of other local community while through intercultural learning achieved influences our colleagues' organizations to advance in tolerance and equality. The long-term benefit in on the participants' change towards tolerance and equality but especially the increase in self-confidence and initiatives that make us develop new social projects and even foster democratic participation especially that in difficult times arise fairer changes.
