Project Description:

This project aims at exposing and breaking stereotypes in order to avoid falling in the trap of prejudices which are often the cause of unjustified hostilities. The project wants to promote a constructive intercultural dialogue based on active listening which can enable us to recognize also our interlocutor's specificity and uniqueness. In this way people will be able to avoid standardizations, or fixed patterns which depreciate what is different from our own culture. The knowledge of different national stereotypes and their daily manifestation in people's culture will be provided through discussions and artistic activities (such as drawing, dancing, acting and organizing a photo exhibition). Discussions will be used to deal with all these different themes and will be enriched by youngsters' active participation. Most of these discussions will be led by a facilitator prepared on the themes at stake in order to provide a theorical support to the participants and help them to understand such difficult topics. The youth exchange will lead to the exploration of possible worlds which are different from our own and it will enable the expression of diversity in order to achieve a cultural enrichment, to ask ourselves new questions without melting or confusing cultures.

The multilateral exchange "WE CLOWN: I CAN, YOU CAN!" will be held in Tortona (Piedmont, Italy) from July 7th till July 16th (2008) and will be involved 5 countries (Italy, Belgium, Denmark, France and Ireland). Each group will consist of 9 participants aged between 15 and 18, each hosted nation will have 1 leader, while the hosng and coordinang organizaon will have 3.The main theme of this exchange is the Intercultural Dialogue (European priority for 2008) reached through the figure of the clown, which is in all countries and in every historical moments. Our clown will be seen as a way to break down the wall of stereotypes and as a character able to transform a difficult and unpleasant situation in a happy one. We'll follow a path that will bring us to the "construction" of different types of personal clowns, which will foster communicaon beyond language, with the help of gestures, colours and games.Through workshops and laboratories, we will try to use different tools to enhance communication and to overcome any linguistic, cultural and emotional barriers. We believe that these resources are important for the non-formal educaon method that we're planning to use in this exchange.The clown will become our symbol of intercultural communicator, a "mosaic" just as Europe, made up of various nations (infinite shades) linked together against prejudice and discriminaon. The project was organized within the promoonal program of the New Youth Centre of Tortona.Lo scambio mullaterale "WE CLOWN: I CAN, YOU CAN!" si svolgerà a Tortona (Piemonte, Italia) dal al di luglio 2008 e saranno coinvolte 5 nazioni (Italia, Belgio, Danimarca, Francia e Irlanda). Ogni gruppo sarà composto da X partecipanti di età compresa tra i 15 e i 18 anni; ciascuna nazione ospitata avrà 1 leader, mentre l'organizzazione coordinatrice e ospitante ne disporrà invece di 3. Il tema principale di questo scambio è il dialogo interculturale (priorità europea per il 2008) raggiunto aravreso la ﬁgura del clown, ﬁgura presente in tu i paesi e in tu i momen storici.Il nostro clown sarà visto come mezzo per abbattere il muro degli stereotipi e capace di trasformare una situazione di disagio in una situazione piacevole. Intraprenderemo un percorso che ci porterà alla "costruzione" di diverse figure di clown, anche personali, che andranno a favorire la comunicazione oltre il linguaggio, con

Pagina 23 di 434 l'aiuto di ges, colori e giochi. Araverso i laboratori e i workshops cercheremo di usare diversi strumen comunicativi per incrementare e favorire il superamento di eventuali barriere linguistiche, culturali ed emozionali. Crediamo che questi mezzi siano importanti per la educazione non formale, metodo che prediligeremo in questo scambio. Il clown sarà il nostro emblema di comunicatore interculturale, un mosaico proprio come l'Europa composta da diverse nazioni (infinite sfumature) legate insieme contro il pregiudizio e la discriminazione. Il progetto è stato organizzato nell'ambito del programma promozionale del Nuovo Centro Giovani di Tortona.

Young people will participate to a great non-competitive role-playing game where a multicultural city, divided in different neighbourhoods with persons doing many different jobs, will be simulated. This will bring to many dynamics typical of multicultural cities, so that participants can discuss together on them and cooperate in order to find joint solutions and make their own city sustainable. Workshops and seminars on social, environmental, economic sustainability topics and other arguments of topical youth interest will also take place.

Project Description:

This project will follow up the first exchange project under the Youth in Action Programme when italian youths travel to Malta. The first project called "A Rainbow is Born" was aimed at introducing the youths to promote harmony in their world in spite of diversities. Now this "return" project "Over The Rainbow" aims to bring maltese youths to Turin, and will continue building up respect, understanding and unity between real-life diversies.As the tle itself "Over The Rainbow" suggests, this youth exchange tends to bridge (represented by the rainbow) gaps between youths, thus striving to eliminate physical and moral barriers. These barriers exist among youths due to their different perceptions and prejudices as regards their different environment, upbringing, formation, etc. Eventually this exchange will strive to include socially excluded persons, generally excluded due to their own particular background, identity or problems. The aim is to show that everyone has something "good", and that all can contribute to society, irrispective of their "handicap", problem or culture.Having overcome this threshold, that is, that a community or a country (an EU member state), includes Everyone, and bearing in mind that essentially, we are all equal, then the project will move on from the local to the intenational stage. Youths at this age normally are in search of an identity. This will help them play a role in their regional or local level, as well as will open up their vision and conscience due to their European citizenship. Even if different yet we are all equal. Hence we must promote and respect the rights of every person.

First Theme: Education through sport and outdoor activities

Second Theme: Environment

Project Description:

Il progetto intende realizzare uno scambio di 9 giorni tra cinque paesi, Italia, Francia, Belgio, Slovacchia e Finlandia, per far riflettere i ragazzi sul tema ambientale con particolare attenzione sulla dimensione relazionale. Sono previsti 30 partecipanti e sarà realizzato a Voghera (Pavia) e nelle colline dell' Oltrepo. L'obiettivo che si vuole raggiungere è quello di far esplorare la stretta interconnessione tra ambiente/uomo/relazione. La natura diventa un laboratorio privilegiato per sperimentare l'osservazione, l'attenzione, il rispetto dei tempi, delle diversità e delle specificità,che sono le stesse competenze che entrano in gioco nell'ambito relazionale. Se si riesce infatti a percepire gli altri come risorsa , se sappiamo scorgere che è nella diversità che possiamo crescere, allora diventa più facile essere responsabili dell'ambiente esterno e delle altre forme di vita. La metodologia proposta prevede approcci di tipo interattivo, giochi,simulazioni, laboratori esperienziali, momenti di rielaborazioni giornalieri e verifiche. Avendo come riferimenti concettuali lo sviluppo sostenibile, inteso come "lo sviluppo che soddisfi i bisogni delle persone esistenti, senza compromettere la capacità delle future generazioni di soddisfare i loro bisogni" ( Conferenza di Rio) e Agenda 21 come opportunità per declinare lo sviluppo sostenibile a livello locale, il progetto si prefigge di far vivere ai ragazzi esperienze che integrino e amplino il tema ecologico con l'attenzione all'ecosistema relazionale.

The objective is to learn traditions and culture in an interactive way that arouses young people's interest. The exchange will take place in Siena from 9 to 15 March 2009.

Project Description:

Our project arises from the prospect of making the union and cultural exchange amongst young citizens of 'Europe' possible in order to build up a common spirit based on the different cultures, languages and principles speciﬁc of each country.The venue where the meeng will be held is Exilles Fort, a higly suggestive place with a rich historical background located in the Valley of Susa - not far from Turin - which had been used in the past as defensive outpost against enemy invasions. Today it is a cultural and historical site as well as the ideal location where a new Europe free from divisions and barriers can be designed. The meeting will be the occasion to gather youth from different minority groups and cultures such as Occitan and Franco-Provençal (Italy), Mirandês (France), Asturian (Spain), Rom Tzigane from Transylvania (Rumania), and make them work creatively together through the different musical and linguistic traditions to come up with a project-performance which will be previewed at the end of the week of meeng. Furthermore, during the week video-recording will be made to issue an audio-visual document on DVD of the experience the young participants lived through during the meeting. This audiovisual documentary will afterwards be submitted for selection in the Valsusa Filmfest 2009 contest, which association we have been cooperating with since a few years for the organization of various events linked to music.The project ensues from a ﬁrst experimental meeng that was held in France in 2007 - also financed by the EU - which laid the foundation for a cooperation among different European associations that are all equally highly involved in the promotion of minorities through the artistic ethnic tool - namely music, songs, poetry. This meeng in Italy aims at consolidang the acvies already started as well as at enhancing new strategies and cooperation with Eastern European countries such as Rumania since the latter has not been highly involved so far in youth cooperation dynamics that are so important to build a society based on the 'positive differences' and on the 'mutual comprehension and respect' rather than on a homogeneous Anglophone culture.

Vorremmo coniugare momenti di riflessione teorica con il fare creativo, per questo abbiamo scelto di utilizzare un filo conduttore rappresentato dalla costruzione di mezzi di trasporto aereo tridimensionali che dovrebbero portare i gruppi di lavoro di nazionalità mista a "raggiungere" metaforicamente le proprie mete ideali e realizzare le proprie speranze per il futuro della società europea (fly to Eur - hope). Nel gioco della metafora il motore dei velivoli costruiti dai ragazzi sarà rappresentato dalle proposte emerse nei momenti di riflessione teorica condotti sui vari temi, i timori che i giovani condividono per il futuro saranno invece le zavorre che frenano il moto dei mezzi, mentre la rotta da intraprendere sarà segnata dalle speranze per il futuro dell'Europa. L'insieme delle speranze, timori, proposte emerse durante lo scambio rappresenteranno una sorta di dichiarazione che verrà presentata in modo dinamico e divertente mediante la realizzazione di un video divulgabile araverso vari canali comunicavi.

"L´Arte Macchiato" will follow the general methodology of Drums for Peace network and will be offering artistic workshops (run by professional artists) in order to promote other ways of learning. Every young person will have the possibility to choose one of four performative arts workshops and then run through a professional arts training week, in which they will prepare a final performance.

This youth exchange aims at giving youngsters the opportunity to confront themselves about different themes concerning food, both from a cultural point of view as from the point of view of health, using food as a tool. To understand food it's not necessary to be able to communicate in English, but it's possible to communicate also in different ways.

Unfortunately nowadays when people travel they don't know anything about the food that they can eat in the country they are visiting and we want to stimulate the youngsters to discover the traditional food in different countries. At the same time it's also important to pass on to the youth the importance of conducng a healthy life at home.The acvies should help the youngsters both to know more about the backgrounds of the other countries gastronomic traditions, but also to learn from each other how to cook diﬀerent meals, from diﬀerent countries, in a healthy and fast way.

For the first time Improvvivo will be not only a theatrical group that creates, produces and performs live shows, but also a center diffusing improvisation culture in a theoretical level. In Italy, unfortunately, there isn't a systematic study about the art of the improvisation: often perceived as a stage on the way to get to a ﬁnal performance, the improvisaon is not considerated as a complete spectacular moment.Aer the creation of the Public Media/Library (through the research and cataloguing of documents and videos), there will be a planning of activities inside of it, like for example meetings, readings, debates, shows about the improvisation, theatre or art in general. This media/library wants to be a place of study, and therefore of learning, for all the people who will participate in its realization. A space of exchange, of dialogue and growth for all the young-community. The initiative, the only one in Italy, has the purpose to create a stable Center of International Research about the improvisation in all its forms, to carry energies and new interests in a cultural ﬁeld that isn't known yet so deeply.

Project Description:

The project aims at reconstructing the history of all the amateur bands which have come to life in the Aosta Valley over the past 25 years. From the early 80's to nowadays, our region has been charaterized by a big yeast in the field of the aggregation and music production by young people groups, by the young bands' lively, ferle to get together and make music. Young people have always chosen music to express themselves: they meet, get involved, conceive passions, bare their souls through music. The "garage or basement band phenomenon " has over the years produced, in Aosta Valley, at least a hundred bands.

But the various generations have often felt and thought themselves as being pioneers, the first to set up a band in the region, as they do not know anything about the groups that have come before them, about other young people's even recent past. The project starts from the idea of recreang the local garage bands' history, by carefully putting together demos,CDs, various music productions, posters, fanzines, newspaper articles etc. It also aims at complete these existing documents with a cycle of video interviews to the ex young musicians, today become adults. The collected materials, organised in an exposition, will be presented during the event Champorock. In accordance with the organizers, we want to build, in the Champorock event, a section dedicated to the meeting between generations around the theme of the music and to the meeng of the mountain and urban realies of young people. To enrich and value the research work, sharing it and using it like a cue to deepen the reciprocal acquaintance, the exposition and the diffusion of the music disclosed by this research work will be backed by a debate/confrontation between generaons on the reciprocal experiences and by a concert by old and new bands.

The four youngsters aim at gathering 20 volunteers (from all around Europe) for a twofold reason: 1)to clean up a mountain path which has become a rubbish dump, to build wooden fences and benches creating a pic-nic area, to develop a community based tourism for the national and international circuit of tourists and travellers;2)to inform, train and movate the people involved in the project in environmental issues, mulcultural values and acve cizenship. The working methods are the "experienal learning" also known as "learning by doing" and the "educator to peer methodology," as the youngsters will have a personal coach who has a long experience in this ﬁeld.

Il progetto "Favolario e le stelline gialle" nasce dalla voglia dei ragazzi ospiti del "Villaggio Sos" di Vicenza di cominciare ad essere parte attiva in questa società, del loro territorio, del loro quartiere dove la comunità di accoglienza si inserisce. Dopo un'attenta riflessione con la Direttrice del centro (dr.ssa Piera MORO) , in cui si sono analizzate le varie possibilità, i ragazzi sono giunti alla stesura di questo progetto convinti che con la realizzazione di un'attività teatrale, avrebbe potuto liberare le loro capacità artistiche ed espressive, approfondendo la loro capacità di lavorare in gruppo per raggiungere un obiettivo comune attraverso la riscoperta di sé.Da parte degli operatori della comunità di accoglienza si vuole improntare l'avità teatrale, dato le particolari situazioni personali da cui i ragazzi provengo, sull'educazione ai diritti ed alla pace, come metodo di educazione non formale e informale.Con questo progeo si vuole non solo stimolare una riflessione dei ragazzi sui diritti umani e alla pace, ma li si vuole coinvolgere nella diffusione degli stessi, rendendoli consapevoli e responsabili del loro ruolo all'interno della comunità in cui vivono e tra gli altri giovani con cui condividono la vita di tu i giorni.La diffusione del progeo avrà un effeo immediato avendo come luogo di realizzazione dell'iniziativa il Villaggio Sos, raggiungendo quindi non solamente le persone strettamente coinvolte, ma indirettamente tutti gli utenti del centro che in esso vivono.Inoltre, araverso la rete di associazioni con cui il Villaggio Sos coopera da anni in maniera continuativa e grazie alla durata del progetto (10 mesi), si vuole dare all'iniziativa un impatto molto più ampio, apportando vantaggi anche alla comunità locale con lo scopo di utilizzare i risultati che si otterranno per la promozione di ulteriori iniziative.

Project Description:

Il progetto "S-vicoli in piazza, n°8" è mirato a riportare il gioco nelle piazze e nelle strade della città di Brescia e provincia. Le attività saranno svolte da un gruppo di giovani che partecipano attivamente nell'associazione Saltabanco. Il progetto nasce da una personale riflessione del gruppo, che si esprime attraverso una semplice constazione: nelle strade e nelle piazze Bresciane i bambini non giocano più, i giovani non si ritrovano più. Il risultato di questo fenomeno sono piazze vuote e anonime, per incontri fugaci. Riportare il gioco nelle piazze e l'incontro nelle strade ha per noi il ruolo fondamentale di riscoprire quegli spazi urbani nascosti dalle macchine e dai servizi educativi che tendono ad istituzionalizzare i giovani, come riteniamo siano la maggior parte dei Centri di Aggregazione Giovanile.La piazza e la strada in questo progetto diventano luoghi caratterizzati e non anonimi. Inoltre, nella nostra idea, riportare le persone ed il gioco nelle piazze può essere un'altra risposta alla continua richiesta di sicurezza e sorveglianza nelle strade perché "ormai" luogo di fenomeni percepiti come violenti. Il gioco, come linguaggio di apertura all'altro, di incontro, di conoscenza e di fruizione di tempo libero, entrando negli spazi urbani e sub-urbani, rompe concezioni ghettizanti per coivolgere tutte le persone ed i giovani di diversa cultura in un azione creativa comune.

It also was an important centre of Partisans Resistance and an important point of historical memory for Italians and a generation of seniors who are going to die.This theme is going to be inquired through three temporal dimensions of past, present and future:The past is represented by witnesses and interviews made to old people who leaved the village in the mid-century and to some partisans that were hidden in the village, planning there the resistance bale.The present is represented by a man who lives alone in the village, trying to support houses that seem to fall down and recovering ﬁelds to their ancient culvaons.The future is represented by the heirs of the houses and by the projects worked up by the Architecture department of Genoa's University: rebuild the village to preserve its historical memory.The project is carried out by a group of four young people, structured as a movie crew. Instead of a strict role distinction we'll develop a step-by-step brainstorming involving all parcipants.Our main aim is to smulate a concrete and transversal discussion dealing with the different approaches fulfilled by different generations, with regard to the theme of memory and our cultural identy.

Project Description:

The project "Laboratorio teatrale di scienze" is a national youth initiative entirely initiated, set up and carried out by a group of 4 youths, aged between 18 and 30 years old, all of them resident in Milan and involving one promoter, APS COLORE - Associazione di Promozione Sociale, Culturale e Solidale, a non profit organisaon legally established in Milan since 1997.The goal of the iniave, which will last 6,5 months from september 2008 until mid march 2009, is to realize an educational experience which will be realised trough a cooperative path ending with a theatre work based on a scientific topic. The project will be initiated, set up and carried out by young partecipants which will support a group of young students, all of them aged under 18 years old, in seng up a theatre representaon based on a scienfic topic.The local group of youths can be easily defined since APS COLORE cooperates on a daily basis with youths living in the local area, characterised by both geographical and economic obstacles. Youths could also be identified either as students attending a local high school or a local junior school or as youths of local welfare institutions, i.e. poor farms. In either cases local institutions will not take any part into the initiative as institutional body, but they will be obviously informed about the initiative considering their eventual institutional rensponsability over the youths. They also might support the dissemination phase in order to assure the maximum visibility to the initiative. The coach will help the 4 partecipants by taking care of local youths and by managing relationships with families and eventual institutions. Families and institutions will not take any active part into the project but will obviously be informed about the project and activities performed since they are the first rensponsible pares over the youths involved.The path involves several activities, such as collecting and learning materials related to the scientific topic chosen, non-formal learning activities, such as organising a long term project based on cooperation among several individuals, interacting also with institutions, teacher and youths, setting up a theatre representation, evaluating learning methods and results.Main themes covered are social inclusion and art. The project will involve youths with fewer opportunities since the youths involved live in areas characterised by geographical

Pagina 161 di 434 obstacles, i.e. young people from remote and urban problem areas. They also have economic obstacles, i.e. young people with a low standard of living, low income, dependence on social welfare system; in long-term unemployment or poverty. The initiative involves art since some of the activities will be dedicated to seng up the theatre representaon.Main phases of the iniave are: planning acvies and topic, formalising learning methods, collection of material on the scientific topic, organising the theatre representaon, the representaon, evaluaon, disseminaon of results, also involving the community.

Project Description:

The project is a National Youth Initiative that will take place in Pordenone (Italy) within the Opera Sacra Famiglia (the project applicant) buildings. The project aims at promoting young people's active citizenship in an European perspective and fostering social cohesion and inclusion. In five months, a group of 13 young people (aged 15 - 18) accompanied by a coach, will implement an on line magazine entitled "HAVING YOUR SAY". They will be the members of the magazine editorial staff and work at writing articles and collecting materials to be published. This activity will be preceded by preparation ones such as: editorial staff establishment, communication style, editorial areas, magazine structure and graphical layout definition and technical construction of the web-site (made by an external expert). The group, leader of this Initiative, is constituted both by immigrant (from East Europe and Africa) and by Italian young people; all of them live in Pordenone and in the surrounding areas. They think that the on line magazine will be an extremely useful instrument in order to foster dialogue among young people with different backgrounds (country, culture, social and economic level). They are excited by the idea to communicate who they are, how they live in Pordenone and what they think, feel and hope for the future; and moreover to give other young people (italian and immigrant) the same chance. They think that dialogue is the only way to know each other and consequently to overcome prejudices and to become active and cooperating european citizens. For this reason, in order to involve the greatest number of young people in this multietinical dialogue, promotion, visibility and dissemination actions will be provided at local level and, in the follow up phase, also at naonal and European level (by means of preconstuted networks)The iniave will be completely auto-managed by the group.

First Theme: Social inclusion

Second Theme: Media and communication/Youth information

Project Description:

La Web Radio TDM 2000 nasce come risposta ad un bisogno espresso dalla nostra comunità. Noi giovani sardi, a causa della condizione di isolanità in cui viviamo, ci troviamo svantaggiati rispetto ai nostri coetanei della penisola. Infatti, mentre per i nostri cugini continentali incontrare giovani di altri paesi e culture è piuttosto semplice, per noi è dispendioso sia in termini di tempo che di danaro. Abbiamo quindi minori opportunità di entrare in contatto con i nostri coetanei stranieri e di contribuire attivamente alla crescita dell'Europa, in quanto siamo in parte tagliati fuori. Da questa considerazione è nata l'idea di creare una radio sull'web che contribuisca a far conoscere ai giovani sardi le problematiche che i giovani cittadini d'Europa devono affrontare e che favorisca il coinvolgimento di questi nostri giovani in attività di confronto e discussione. Il progetto offre inoltre, la possibilità ai giovani del nostro territorio di formarsi e acquisire nuove e importanti competenze professionali nel campo della comunicazione radiofonica e, più in generale, della informazione e della partecipazione contribuendo quindi alla formazione di una cittadinanza attiva. Una iniziativa il cui obiettivo è stimolare la creatività dei ragazzi/e, attraverso lo strumento della radio, uno strumento percepito come affascinante dai ragazzi e, nello stesso tempo, di responsabilizzarli dandogli uno strumento, con il quale partecipare attivamente e dare un servizio di pubblica utilità alla propria comunità locale di appartenenza. Il progetto, che sarà gestito da giovani appassionati del settore della comunicazione, affiancati da giovani professionisti a garanzia di possibilità di dare importanti nozioni teoriche e pratiche sulla comunicazione mediatica, ha l'obiettivo di coinvolgere un alto numero di giovani sardi ed ha l'ambizione di presentarsi a livello internazionale dopo una prima fase di assestamento a livello locale. Con questo progeo si potrà creare un nuovo canale di comunicazione e uno spazio rivolto ai giovani e fatto dai giovani, i quali svilupperanno fin dalla fase iniziale di progettazione l'attività dell'emittente radiofonica, prevedendo così un loro profondo coinvolgimento In questo modo saranno responsabilizzati e resi più partecipi alle vicissitudini della comunità locale e alle sue dinamiche quodiane.

Project Description:

Il progetto "Emocore" si propone di studiare e analizzare in modo approfondito il crescente, e per ora, semisconosciuto fenomeno degli "Emo" o "Emocore". Un fenomeno generazionale ancora poco definito e poco "afferrabile", tale da suscitare pareri contrastanti e definizioni completamente divergenti, in particolare fra gli adolescenti. Chi sono, cosa sono, o cosa pensano e desiderano gli "Emo"? Perché un fenomeno musicale sorto negli anni '80 negli Usa dovrebbe riaffermarsi oggi, arrivando a volte anche a gesti estremi da parte dei giovani? Per semplice moda, per emulare un passato che non c'è più, o per cause più profonde, come per esempio una crescente sofferenza sentita più o meno diversamente dagli adolescenti, catapultati in una realtà in cui non conta la persona in quanto tale, capace di avere sentimenti o di provare "emo"-zioni, ma il denaro, la ricchezza, l'immagine, in cui prevale la superficialità? Il gruppo ha deciso di formarsi per rispondere a questi e a molti altri quesiti, quindi per occuparsi del fenomeno, soprattutto in seguito ad alcuni episodi rilevati da terzi, di atti poco socievoli verso alcuni giovani esponenti di questa nuova corrente generazionale. Pensiamo sia nostro dovere tentare di comprendere le diversità di pensiero insite nella nostra crescita adolescenziale, prima di poter giudicare un atteggiamento o uno stile di vita, soprattutto quando queste ci circondano in assoluta diffidenza ed indifferenza nostra e dei nostri coetanei; e cercare di diffondere e trasmettere con tutti i mezzi a nostra disposizione i risultati ottenuti, non solo fra gli esponenti della nostra generazione ma anche, e forse, soprattutto fra il pubblico adulto, genitori e non, in grado di poter intendere meglio alcuni atteggiamenti, se correttamente informato, e di poter agire , per la salvaguardia della vita.

Project Description:

The project "identity of social reality" wants to analyze the reality of social centres in their history and their relevance.Through mass media we want to deepen with polical imparality the historic differences, the reasons and purposes of some of the major social centers in the city of Rome.We decided to deepen this reality because it is our opinion one of the main meeting points and action youth in our city, a place of acceptance ,interaction and multicultural aspects, where the young people develop cultural, economic and social projects.We want to analyze and tell these socio-cultural dynamics through audiovisual tools because we believe that, today, the image in its different forms - video and photograph - is a means of communicaon more effecve to show the different realies and to get to as many people.

Project Description:

Il progetto nazionale "Visioni di lettura sociale" consta di tre macro attività principali da svolgersi nell'arco di sei mesi:"Creazione di un laboratorio audiovisivo polifunzionale rivolto ai giovani e ﬁnalizzato alla realizzazione di piccoli documentari capaci di indagare (o meglio leggere per l'appunto) la realtà sociale giovanile locale, nonché di costituire un valido e reale luogo di integrazione. Il laboratorio avrà uno spazio fisico che sarà anche la sede del gruppo "Visioni di lettura sociale" e che, ci auspichiamo, diventerà luogo di riferimento per le avità previste e per i giovani che coinvolgeremo. "La realizzazione di un cineforum itinerante caratterizzato da cinque proiezioni durante lo svolgimento dell'intero progetto. Le caratteristiche fondamentali di questa parte delle attività sono tre: 1) Le proiezioni di film a tematiche sociali inerenti alle priorità che il programma Gioventù in Azione considera come determinanti (nel caso specifico: l'emarginazione sociale, il razzismo, la questione dei generi sessuali); 2) La presenza alla proiezione dei giovani cineasti europei che hanno realizzato il film, in modo da poter dare l'occasione ai partecipanti del gruppo ed al pubblico di nostri coetanei che riusciremo a coinvolgere, nonché agli stessi cineasti, di confrontarsi su tematiche specifiche con dei loro "amici" di altre città europee. 3) La costruzione di luoghi informali di cinema. Si lavorerà per questo insieme ai ragazzi dei diversi quartieri svantaggiati (per condizioni sociali, economiche e culturali) al fine di individuare all'interno dei loro quartieri i luoghi secondo loro più idonei a poter coinvolgere e rendere partecipe il maggior numero di persone (giovani e non) all'evento della proiezione, scardinando così la logica della sala classica e trasformando magari, una parete di una casa fatiscente, una piazza, una sala condominiale, un rione, in luogo idoneo ad esperienze dall'alto contenuto culturale, mirando dunque alla trasmissione di pratiche semplici (un proiettore e due casse) e replicabili."Il lavoro di diﬀusione dei risulta raggiun dall'intero progeo, producendo favamente un DVD che racchiuda il film documentario prodotto all'interno del laboratorio audivisivo nonché tutti i materiali di "backstage dell'esperienza" con i commenti degli stessi partecipanti ma anche della gente incontrata durante lo svolgimento di tutto il progetto. Questa fase consta anche di un gemellaggio

Project Description:

"Imag(in)e Reality" is an 8month local project on the territory of Milan and Hinterland. Four organizations, that have already been collaborating for other projects (such as European youth exchanges), are working on the creation of a strong local network to actively involve young migrants (officially 13,1% in Milan, most of them from non-European countries) into their youth work in Milan/+suburbs.During weekly meengs, we´ll use participative and performative arts (photography, theatre and movement/dance) as a tool of expression and understanding, and we´ll visualize problems and difficulties that young migrants have to face while becoming European citizens. Therefore, "Imag(in)e Reality" will create images of diverse realities and foreign cultures living in Milan and see how they diﬀer from "European realies".Using the experiences of the European training course "Ariadne´s Thread", we want to look at the context of problems emerging from these images (mechanisms, emotions, masks, etc.). Using the power of arts to embody the invisible reality, we´ll create different final performances (photo exhibitions and theatre/movement performances) shown to the local communities as well as during a Drums4Peace youth exchange in Italy.This way, we also want to be encouraging for the youth exchange network "Drums for Peace" to include more immigrants and involve our participants into the organization of a youth exchange 2009 in Milan.

Project Description:

Il progetto è l'espressione dell'attivazione diretta di un gruppo di giovani, accomunati dalla ormai rara volontà di rimanere a vivere nei propri piccoli comuni di origine, paesini confinanti o vicini, in aree rurali e montane piemontesi, diffusi della Provincia del Verbano Cusio Ossola, in particolare nell'area del Parco Naturale Val Grande. Il nostro gruppo non condivide soltanto la voglia di mantenere salde le proprie origini, ma soprattutto la voglia di partire dalla propria storia, dalle proprie tradizioni e risorse, per inventare un nuovo modo di vivere il territorio, capace di conciliarsi con la vivacità, le continue contaminazioni culturali e l'eccletticità del nostro tempo. Vorremmo impegnarci direttamente per promuovere percorsi di animazione socio culturale nella comunità locale, sperimentando stili di vita attivi e piacevoli, ed evitando il rischio di chiuderci nelle nostre valli, vivendo la nostra condizione con un atteggiamento passivo e rinunciatario, di giovani che temono di confrontarsi con il cambiamento. Noi vorremmo essere invece promotori di un cambiamento nel nostro contesto di vita, coinvolgendo la comunità locale e non in esperienze inusuali, orientate alla ricerca di nuove modalità di fruizione degli spazi e delle risorse disponibili. In particolare ci proponiamo di trasformare una delle più importanti risorse naturali del territorio; il Parco Naturale Val Grande, nel laboratorio privilegiato delle nostre sperimentazioni.

This new sport centre will be open not only to the young member of the Association (the n. 8 foster children aged 14-20 now under our care) but also to the boys and girls, especially those with fewer possibilities, coming from the local communities, where there are no other youth centres where they have the possibility to meet and practice social activities. According to the project a special BMX Day will be organised in May 2009 as opening of the new centre: this will see the involvement of numerous young people who will participate in BMX races and other ricreative activities, without any discrimination of sex, race, social and economic status. Through this healthy outdoor sport activity they will experience the value of solidarity, team work, commitment, concentration and respect, necessary to establish good interpersonal relations. Moreover some foster boys and girls and young volunteers will be also actively involved in the project management and implementation, for example in the outlining of the promotional campaign in order to call the attention of the highest number of young people, in the relation with the scholastic institutions or other youth association.

Project Description:

Il Progetto "La mia generazione" cerca di creare un ritratto della generazione che va dai 25 ai 30 anni. Lo farà attraverso delle foto. Si tratta di ritratti di persone contestualizzate nel posto dove vivono. Le foto saranno presentate come dei piccoli quadri messi uno a fianco all'altro che formeranno nella totalità un unico grande quadro/istallazione, grande 3 metri per 3 metri. Questo avrà due chiavi di leura: la prima sarà intuitiva o globale, nel senso che intuitivamente, con uno sguardo veloce, d'insieme, lo spettatore vedrà tanti ragazzi tutti diversi, ognuno con il suo back groud, le sue passioni e il suo stato sociale, ma fondamentalmente tutti molto simili. Tutti infatti fanno parte di uno stesso periodo storico, di una stessa generazione. La seconda chiave di leura sarà analica. Lo speatore in questa fase potrà guardare in maniera più accurata le foto, una ad una e soffermarsi sui particolari di ognuna. Il quadro/istallazione in questo modo diventerà un grande libro e ogni singola foto sarà come una pagina.L'obievo è quello di dare una visione d'insieme di una generazione, la nostra, che è vittima delle dinamiche postmoderniste, di una disgregazione di fondo. I giovani di oggi non si vedono come facenti parte di un unico momento storico, ma ogni ragazzo si vede isolato, un mondo a se stante. Attraverso il progetto "La mia generazione" NL vuole contribuire quindi allo sviluppo e alla crescita di un profilo storico e culturale dei nostri tempi, a attraverso i ritratti dei ragazzi che ne fanno parte si vuole contribuire a creare una coscienza d'insieme nei giovani di oggi. Anche questa, infatti, come le precedenti, è una generazione che può dare tanto alla storia futura europea.

Project Description:

The project "The true story of Marion and Net" wants to make a vivid portrait of one of the most famous and popular forms of art in the Sicilian tradition: The puppet theatre. A group of five youngsters over a period of six months, will shoot interviews and backup footage, both with cameras and tv-cameras, in Sicily (Italy) and then edit a 15 minutes video. This video will be part of a dvd along with a photo gallery, an authoring and a power point presentation of the project. The group, if possible, will also follow a laboratory and film the steps required to make a puppet. L' Opra dei Pupi, is certainly an aspect of Sicilian culture, but it also represents a piece of a puzzle that tells us how puppets from Sicily, and their "relatives" abroad, have been somehow declining in the last decades due to major commercial forms or expressions like cinema and television. The puppets from Sicily are wooden marionnettes animated by wires and strings skilfully driven by "il puparo" (the puppeteer); master craftsmen, director and actor at the same time. Becoming popular around the second half of the nineteenth century the puppet theatre always conveyed ideals which are dear to Sicilian people, such as chivalry, honour, justice, faith and love. Marion and Net are the names of two puppets, our characters and storytellers. Their voices will take us on a journey and the video will help give them back the dignity they deserve. L'Opra is art, thus a cultural heritage we feel obliged to pass on.

Our main idea is to run two transnational seminars for key stakeholders (youngsters, NGO's, local administrations and policy-makers…) where it will be possible to share specific experiences and/or ideas on the best and most inclusive ways to build and run a structured dialogue process and framework to involve youngsters in the local youth policies decisions. T he project will begin with a technical meeng among the representatives for each partner (2 per country) in order to plan the details of the rest of the experience together.Then parcipants at the 2 main seminars will be selected through a boom-up inclusive process starting at a local level (municipality level) based on small focus groups meeting locally on topics referring to youth participation. Participants will be selected to attend increasingly broader-area-based further focus groups unl representaves for the transnaonal meeng will be appointed.Aer the ﬁrst transnaonal seminar the path to the creation of a participation framework will follow specific steps in each partner country depending on the different local context (through electoral procedures or other effective and inclusive methodologies) and a second meeting will gather representatives of the different local experiences in order to strenghten a transnaonal partnership and a stable network among them. All along the process, a web platform will be created to keep up with a distance cooperation among partners and parcipants.

Project Description:

The Hyblean Province (Hyblean stands for the Mounts in the Province of Ragusa, in South East of Sicily- Italy) is characterised by a wonderful environmental heritage: beautiful coasts, caves, environmental reserves, the Irminio River mouth, etc. Unfortunately, scarce knowledge and bad policies (owing to the lack of systematic surveys and data bases, for example) are putting in danger this important heritage of our territory.Beaches are more and more polluted (since people see them only as a place where they can go on holiday in summer, without thinking to basic environmental rules to be respected); caves are scarcely considered although they are wonderful and rich of flora and fauna; the Irminio River mouth has recently been subjected to re-evaluation, but the local collectivity does not consider/know it. Even if policies have been undertaken, the public is not involved in their safeguard or maintenance, and abandon and pollution are the most evident results. Our volunteers will:- study and catalogue the different features of our environmental heritage-create a data base (flora, fauna, features of the places, problems, acons which have been undertaken (and eventual benefits)/ acon to be undertaken-create a database concerning the environmental rules and best practises at local, regional, national, European level. A particular emphasis should be given to the situation in the volunteer sending Countries. This will be for them an occasion to know the situaon in Italy but also in their own Countries too.-Create a micro-network in which the hosng organisaon and the sending ones will keep in touch to:-exchange informaon concerning the volunteers' acvies within this project-widespread them in the sending organisaon Countries (in the action territory of the sending organizations) in order to inform and sensitise local young people in what the European Volunteers will do here in Italy-excha nge good pracces in youth involvement in environmental issues (knowledge and safeguard of the environmental heritage) These researches will not be only a work of data collection, but will be the basis for further activities and will be done for the following reasons:1)our organisaon - which is very acve in environmental protecon and promoon - never organised/structured the information and the knowledge it acquired during these years. Now it

Pagina 232 di 434 would be the occasion to create a database to monitor what has just be done to improve the local environmental heritage situation and what should be done; which are the reference law to be considered or used as support for the acons; etc….2)our organisaon - which is very acve in youth policies - wants to start a sensitisation activity for young people concerning the presence, the value and the needs of the local environmental heritage. In this regard, all the information found/elaborated by the volunteers will be processed to create information and sensitisation material to involve the local young people. Our aim will be to make them know the local environmental heritage and to make them understand how important is to protect it (1st because they live in and 2nd because this is an important element to promote our territory which is normally visited by thousands of tourists every year)3)planning, organisaon of guided visits and excursions (guided by you and the staff of the COPAI) I think it will be a good occasion for you to have a contact with our local young people. These excursions could be done in Italian (local staff) and English or French (by the volunteers) so that they can be a good occasion for our young people to know something more on the local environmental heritage and…..use the languages they study at school4)organisaon and realizaon of a radio programme for young people (widespread environmental information you find, curiosities, radio programmes during which the volunteers will invite and interact with young people who took part to the excursions in order that they can to tell about their experience, for example)5)implementaon of European Volunteers' personal projects complying with the aims and objecves of the projectproject duraon 7 months: starng date: may 2008accommodaon: apartments more info about Modica: www.copai.it

Project Description:

Facing diversity helps to grow up and to open our minds. When we get in touch with people that differ from us and we interact with them we become aware of our limits and our capabilities, we find out that there are many ways to see the things and that not always our point of view is the right one. This is valid when we talk about culture and habits, about physical differences, about differences in the age of the people, in social classes and in the education level. These are the main typology of diversity that we touch in the acvies of this EVS project.The acvies that we are proposing are 3. It is a hosng project. Two of the activities (n°1 and n°2) are part of the planned activities of our organization from several years. The third one is a new acvity coming from an expressed need of the society in which we operate.1) An activity with children from elementary schools, to learn the importance of preserving the environment and the importance of diversity. Diversity on the physical side (there will be some lessons at school with the school children hold by blind young people) and on the cultural side (some lessons will be held by the volunteers that will make intercultural acvies with the school children)2) An acvity of organizaon of international meetings that will involve more then 150 youngsters from all over the world. Here the volunteers will have to support our staff in the organization (advertising, keeping contacts with the possible participants and with donors and so on…, planning the activities, keeping the contacts with suppliers and so on)3) An acvity with disadvantaged children (that live in "Case famiglia" or similar instutes) to let them discover the importance of multiculturalism and also to help them to integrate with the other children of their age.Within this project we want to give to the volunteers the opportunity to live an experience of life that will affect their personality and their future. A part from the general advantage of being in constant contact with an environment that is different from their own, according to the activity in which each one of them will be involved, they will confront themselves with different typology of people eg. "normal" and disadvantaged children, youngsters with physical disabilities, youngsters from all over the world. Moreover they will get in contact with some professionals (like journalists, teachers, educators…),

We will host 6 volunteers.A group EVS project has some advantages compared to the individual EVS: higher visibility for the organization, for the project and therefore for the YiA programme; a more comfortable environment for the volunteers.We have chosen TDM 2000 Malta as it is a consolidate partner of us and it is also part of our international network. We can rely on them and working together also in the EVS field is another opportunity to strengthen our partnership. The "ProAtlântico - Associação Juvenil" from Portugal and the NGO Ookull from Estonia have good experiences in the field and they have been also recommended from other good partners of us. We have never had volunteers from Portugal , Malta or Estonia.

First Theme: European awareness

Second Theme: Youth policies

Project Description:

It is an individual EVS project lasting 10 months. The project will take place at ECAS - Brussels-based European NGO but will have a Europe-wide outreach as it will focus on the communication activities. The volunteer will be involved in and trained on the whole range of communication actions run by ECAS: writing the articles for the newsletter, editing the website, applying the Web 2.0 tools (blogs, forums, wikis), organising conferences, developing databases of contacts etc. The modern communication is then the main theme, complemented by: European active citizenship, youth policies and opportunities in Europe for young people, European communication policy, innovation in the policy-making such as participatory democracy and e-Participation, last but not least, the run-up to the European elections since these issues will constitute the content of the communication activities. There are thus two learning objectives: mastering the communication tools and discovering the above mentioned European themes. We also believe that the volunteer's work can indirectly contribute to awareness-raising, debate and promotion of these issues among other young people. The countries involved are those targeted by the communication acvies, with the special focus on Belgium and Italy considering the partnership set-up.The method applied throughout the project is the "hands-on" learning on the communication tools and applying them to the issues important for all young European citizens. This project offers informal but intensive "learning by doing" experience that will well equip the volunteer for the professional activities in this field. The activities implemented are mostly of the type "day-to day" communication activities but there should be also some special events related to projects. The volunteer will be certainly encouraged to take advantaged of the numerous opportunies oﬀered in Brussels (conferences, seminars, Parliament hearings etc).

First Theme: European awareness

Second Theme: Media and communication/Youth information

Project Description:

The project will take place in the Association Going to Europe in Modena. The motivation to host a EVS volunteer is to foster European awareness among young people at the local level by organising initiatives that directly involve youngsters and by developing innovating and creative communication tools in order to bring European issues closer to young people. The aim of the project is to build a gradual path for the volunteer's learning process in order to enable her to gain knowledge and skills to gradually develop her own ideas into concrete projects. Therefore, the first phase of the project will stress a more general knowledge of the opportunities for international mobility so that the volunteer gets a broad overview of existing programmes. This will facilitate her insertion in the activities of the association later on. The second phase will focus on information and communication activities through different tools (magazines, website, meetings with young people). This will aim at facilitating the interaction between the volunteer and the local community. In the third and last phase, the volunteer will get the opportunity to put in practice the opportunities offered by the Programme by implementing projects following all steps from the drafting to the implementation. The project will start in September 2008 and will have a duration of 10 months. It will involve one volunteer coming from Poland. The working method that will be applied in the one of a constant tutorage of the volunteer from the members of the organisation in order to maximise the insertion of the vounteer in the activities through training and a constant following and evaluation of her learning progresses.

Project Description:

The project "Un sorriso per vivere, perché sorridere è un dovere sociale" is a group EVS initiative coordinated by INCO Association, where international volunteers have the opportunity to collaborate in the activities of the "Azienda Servizi Sociali di Bolzano" (ASSB), in the city of Bolzano, Italy. The activity sector of the hosting organization where the volunteers will be involved is dedicated to elderly people.ASSB hosts in total 4 EVS internaonal volunteers per year, besides some others from the German Civil Service. The 3 volunteers presented in this application are from Hungary, Germany and Russia and will enjoy from this experience during a long term period (12 months). The international volunteers support the entertainment sector of the nursing homes, assisting the social workers and trying to give a young smile and a feeling of internationality to the guests (e.g.: organizing cultural and recreational activities - handicraft workshops, game sessions, presentations of the own country - walks, organizing some birthday pares, backing together with the elderly, reading newspapers etc.). Seen the very posive experiences we made in the previous years with other international volunteers, we are convinced that their presence contribute actively to enrich the elders' quality of life at the nursing homes bringing new energy, motivation and new ideas to the host organization. At the same time, besides the personal growth, we expect that through living and working together with people from different realities and cultural backgrounds, the volunteers will be able to improve their interpersonal communication skills, their sensitiveness, autonomously and creativity (developing their own projects and initiatives), reducing prejudices in order to further the respect for diversity and a peaceful living together.

Project Description:

The project "Volont@riamente" is a group EVS initiative coordinated by INCO Association, where international volunteers have the opportunity to participate in the activities of the "Villaggio SOS Vicenza", Italy. This hosting organization takes care of children whose families are facing difficult situations and don't have the chance to watch them out and support them in their daily needs. In the several specific activities of the "Villaggio SOS", children and young people can experience a family atmosphere of peace and receive support to their physical and psychological growth. The "Villaggio SOS" hosts 4 EVS volunteers pro year, besides some others from the German Civil Service. The 2 volunteers presented in this application are from Turkey and Portugal and will enjoy from this experience during a long term period (12 months). The volunteers will support the coordinator and the educators of "Villaggio SOS" in their work with the children, youngsters, pregnant ladies and single moms in "Casa Ilia" and "Comunità Educativa Mamma- Bambino". They will collaborate with the everyday-life activities (e.g. supporting lunch time, picking children up from the school, accompanying them until the houses, etc) and organize and develop educational and specially free-time activities (games, sports, music workshops, painting, visit in a museum, etc).The presence of the volunteers is very enriching to the children (which have the opportunity to face a young person from a different reality and culture, helping them to open their minds and deal with life in a positive way) and to the staff of "Villaggio SOS" (which will not only have several positive inputs concerning ideas and activities, but also a positive example of a peaceful leaving together, furthering the reduction of prejudices). Besides a personal growth predictable in such an experience abroad, we expect that, through living and working together with people of different cultural backgrounds, our volunteers will have the chance to improve their intercultural and interpersonal communication abilities, as well as their sensiveness, autonomously and creavity (developing their own projects).

This is effected with the help of an European volunteer who, in cooperation with a pedagogic staff member, will educate and care for the children according to the principle of immersion. This means that the Kindergarten Riepe will extend its "classical" educational concept by the concept of immersion: the children will not be taught the language "actively", but they will be provided the opportunity to immitate, by action, gesture and mimic, they will be confronted with foreign verbal articulation, e. g. anglophone vocabulary, by the foreign language speaking nursery teachers and volunteers who try to habituate the children gently and sensitively to bilingual communicaon. This will later be a great advantage for them - as European cizens. The work area for the European volunteers will be the kindergarten "Zwergennest" in Riepe. The institution is under administrative responsibility of the municipality of Ihlow - therefore it has it's fixed place in the life of the community as well as in village life. Together with the children, they work on special subjects which are fixed each month, taking into consideration the different seasons, holidays or special interests of the children. Bearing in mind their individual interests and abilities, we want to give the children room for a gentle development of their personality, talents and skills.

Also, with the support of Saint James's Friends Association, volunteers will help in running cultural acvies in two important places of the local social life: "the Informaon Oﬃce situated in an ancient Romanesque monastery, hosting the Jacobea Library, the main reference place for the studies on the Camino; "and the future Youth Center & Informaon Oﬃce that the village council will open after Christmas. Information, Europe, and promotion of cultural activities for the local people and the foreign pilgrims will be the lines of the future work.

Our objective is to involve European volunteers in the activities and life of the different structures managed by Paolo Babini in order to allow the young people hosted to have a direct contact with Europe and develop a European awareness. The presence of young volunteers coming from different countries and willing to share their cultural backgrounds can be a useful experience for Italian adolescents to test their beliefs, opinions and prejudices. The project involves 2 volunteers, one from France and the other from Hungary, who will spend from 6 to 10 months in Forlì contributing to the improvement of solidarity and tolerance not only in the host organization but also in the local community, a part of which is deeply involved in the activities of Paolo Babini. In return for their help, the young people envgaged in the project will have the opportunity to acquire linguistic competences in Italian but also personal and professional competences, mainly in youth policies and the prevention of discomfort.

Project Description:

The area of Rome, where YAP-Italy is located since the early 1990th is one of the more disadvantaged neighbourhoods of the city, both from the social as well as from the environmental point of view. There has been a higher concentration of low educated people in an area that has been lacking services, particularly possibilities for youngsters and for the children, that are the youngster of today. Since the local kids and youngsters did not have the opportunity to attend social activities improving the personal development, YAP-Italy focused on the local community, in order to motivate them to take an active part at the organized activities. The spirit of the activities also within our neighbourhood but as well throughout the country is "to act locally, and to think global". YAP Italia organize local activities in order to carry the level of our activities beyond the borders of theneighbourhood, the city and the country. This we are trying to achieve by involving for one year this French EVS volunteer, that enrich YAP work and activities due to his own diverse cultural backgrounds. By this means the result exceeds the practical momentary activity and the added value of the international volunteer will have effects in the future.

First Theme: European awareness

Second Theme: Minorities

Project Description:

Our project has been inspired by the value of friendship and that is what the title "Philia" means. It is what we want to base our idea of living together upon. Every year within our YMCA network we organize activities and inititatives and this time, starting from Italy, we would like to organize some projects co- financed and co-programmed with the EU institutions to take a clear European direction and create a synergy of goals, means and people. Our project aims at unifying the strength of the European Youth in Action Programme (great European focus on personal development and non-formal learning plus financial support) and those of the YMCA Network (great human resources, volunteers, youth training experience, moral guide) to enable our youngsters to project themselves into the present and future Europe as leaders and responsible citizens. Through "Philia for Caucasus: Peace & Dialogue" we would like to offer 37 youngsters from the EU community (Italy, Latvia and Romania) and the Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijian and Georgia) the possibility to focus on and experience dialogue and friendship as the way to live proficuously in a peaceful and multicultural society where minorities, too, can thrive. The project should take place in Poggio Mirteto, a small historical town in the countryside of Central Italy, the activities are composed of icebreakers, workshops, roleplays and outdoor activities, the working methods are the "Experiential learning: learning by doing", the "Educator to Peer" and the "Peer to Peer" ones. Finally we would like to highlight how much this project is connected with "Philia E.U." and "Philia for Balkans" already approved by the National Agency in the past years where initially we started our activities focusing on E.U. countries only and then went on with the Balkan countries. "Philia for Caucasus: Peace & Dialogue" is dedicated especially to the Caucasus area where we have recently seen new YMCA associations being born and with whom we are striving to get and stay in cultural and communitarian touch in order to build strong, solidal and peaceful communities and contribute with our help in the reconciliation process after the Caucasus bloody war which spread hatred, grudge and resentment among the local communities and harming, above all, the local minorities.

First Theme: European awareness

Second Theme: Social inclusion

Project Description:

The aim of our project is to arrange a Training Course (around 5 days in Italy) between operators, tutors, leaders and teachers of young people in order to exchange their expertise, good practice, experience and diverse techniques how to create an intercultural dialoge between young people from different etnical backgrounds. In particular in a specific area of Perugia we have the problem of a society that is divided into two different parts: the Italians and the immigrants. Some episodes of violence and intollerance happended in the last months. The local population is scared. They generalize the situation without seeing how the social tensions can be solved. Instead of taking advantage of the possibility to honor the diversity and learn from each other, there is a boarder, made from skepsis, prejudgement and ignorance. The local administration is expecting some projects and proposals from associations and centers that are working in the social field to create a net as soon as possible. This is the context in which we create this TRAINING COURSE to give an intercultural impulse for this net. The title of our project, "Colourful Puzzleworld", is a metaphora: all over the world there are different nations and they are diverse like peaces of a puzzle. On the first sight it seems that they don't fit together, but if you look closer, if you have patience and motivation, you discover that all of them together can create a harmonic colourful picture. In our project we want to do a training with operators working in the youth sector. We will involve 5 people from each country (3 plus Italy), in order to take advantage of the environments that offer a cultural diversity. Each participant is invited to talk about his experiences, explain and confront, in a pratical way, the problems of their country/city/area and share his practices and knownledge. In particular, we want to give to all the participants new practical instruments to work on intercultural level in their own city. We hope to achieve a better awareness of young people, focusing the goal that diversity should be a motivation to get united instead of being an excuse for violence and discrimination. We want also to organized, during these 5 days of training course, some moments in which the participants will be in contact with the local context (young people, citizens, local institutions, foreigners, ecc.) to make visible and to share what we discuss and

Pagina 405 di 434 discover all together about the themes. This will be useful to involve, on different levels of this project, all the people that live these kind of situations only like "problems", to create with them new points of view and new ideas to create a good feeling, new european projects with "Youth in Action" Programme and a positive collaboration between them and people from other cultures that live now in the city.

On the other hand we would read the title as trainers and youth workers are the "new resources" that will lead the youngsters and therefore the future society towards a beer common understanding and respect of each other. The project will empower youth leaders, workers, trainers working to develop strategies and activities to address racism, xenophobia, discrimination and gender-based forms of non respect. The participants will be familiarised with different manuals on human rights education and discuss how to best use them and adapt them to their local contexts and realies.Thi s course will prepare young people to plan and run youth activities on Human Rights Education especially in the frame of the Youth in Action programme. The project is also directed to establish a bridge among the partners and other organizations active in promong human rights educaon and therefore to foster cooperaon among those NGOs.The training course facilitates intercultural dialogue and understanding.

Project Description:

"Giovani cittadini e decision makers per delle politiche giovanili partecipate" è un progetto finalizzato alla promozione della cittadinanza attiva dei giovani nel loro territorio di residenza, stimolando la loro partecipazione alla vita della propria comunità, a partire dal confronto diretto con l'Amministrazione Comunale di Montebelluna, nella costruzione delle politiche giovanili cittadine. L'obiettivo è di mettere in connessione un gruppo di giovani con la classe politica per permettere il confronto reciproco e l'individuazione di alcuni nodi critici sui quali costruire poi delle azioni condivise. Concretamente si ipotizza di lavorare per steps partendo dalla costituzione di un gruppo di giovani (circa 45 giovani dai 17 ai 30 anni): questo gruppo dovrà essere sufficientemente rappresentativo delle varie realtà giovanili presenti sul territorio per garantire una pluralità di espressioni e punti di vista; parallelamente si lavorerà per la costituzione del gruppo dei referenti politici che si ipotizza formato da 10 persone circa, rispettando in modo proporzionale gli esiti dell'ultima tornata elettorale a livello comunale. Questo gruppo sarà soggetto attivo e si porrà in negoziazione con il gruppo di giovani; il progetto prevede infatti un confronto tra i due gruppi attraverso alcune assemblee condotte in modo partecipativo attivo finalizzate all'emersione di nodi critici condivisi rispetto alle politiche giovanili della città e al ruolo che i giovani possono giocare rispetto alla creazione delle stesse. Da qui nasceranno delle ipotesi di percorsi di sviluppo (alcuni esempi possibili di azione sono: consulta comunale dei giovani, mobilità giovanile, opportunità di scambio a livello europeo, gruppi tematici rispetto al lavoro, casa, disagio giovanile) e quindi si implementeranno due o tre gruppi di lavoro per elaborare proposte specifiche e realizzare le azioni, prevedendo sia in itinere che alla fine degli steps di valutazione del processo e di riprogettazione; I risultati del percorso verrano infine rielaborati e diffusi su scala nazionale attraverso un workshop finalizzato a condividere esperienze e aprire nuove partnership progettuali in merito alla cittadinaza attiva giovanile.

The National Youth Meeting "The future challenges for the Youth" will take place in Viterbo, Lazio, from the 24th to the 29th of June, 2009. It will include three phases: 2 days of preparatory meeng, the main meeting itself lasting 5 days (counting 60 young participants mainly from the area of Viterbo), and an evaluaon-follow up ﬁnal meeng of another 2 days. The meeng aims to smulate and encourage reflection and discussion on the topics: participation in democracy, structured dialogue, intercultural dialogue. The concept of the meeting involves a wide mixture of methods designed to introduce each topic in a different way, but the main structure will allow the participants to live out an experience of structured dialogue, each day including small group works to produce proposal documents, plenary sessions, and a variety of tools based on techniques of non formal educaon. The meeng will also include meengs with the local politicians responsible for youth policies, an input on Democracy based on formal education (provided by the University of Viterbo), together with artistic and recreational activities in the frame of the big cultural and historical event "Ludika 1243", realised every year in Viterbo in June. The meeng will end (hopefully) with the approval of a "Viterbo Manifesto", about the perception of the challenges for the future seen from the point of view of the young people living in this area.
