« CITY'ZEN SOLIDAIRE »"think global and make local"We wish to organize a European youth exchange through our project "CITY'ZEN SOLIDARITY" to promote, among them: reflexivity and civic act; mobilize solidarity action on proximity. The "think global and make local" leads and opens up the possibility of analyzing the realities of different contexts from various resources and expertise provided by the youth.Our exchange project will run from October 19 to 26, 2016 in Figeac (France) and will focus on multiple educational objectives and citizens. This exchange should help to educate young people about fundamental values of citizenship education, the new European society and otherness in global thinking. By the will of co-construction and co-co, it is rooted in a participatory pedagogy fostering the emergence of active citizenship, solidarity and conceptualized by living together. It is in this sense that our meeting of project grants and absorbs the different characteristics of the Erasmus + program objectives, attempting to highlight education by the pedagogy of the project.The participants, gender parity and social diversity, in this meeting, are all young people, belonging to structures that led solidarity actions at local level, in a broader dimension, including rural or urban level. Involved in or supportive initiatives they undertake to return the content of the meeting and contribute to the collective dynamics.Their own definition of solidarity will be extended by their experiences during this period figeacoise.A questioning of the Self, by the encounter with the Other, will evolve, and bring, if not change, at least a better cultural understanding. Thus, an expansion of thought, by tinting foreign connotations tend towards a more European definition of solidarity.By placing youth at the center of our thinking, we hope that the skills acquired are achieved and improved for each participant. This experience should be encouraged to continue an engagement in social and civic different contexts involved.During the thematic activities, co-production support will be extended by the development of a space on the Web, entitled "City'zen solidarity", dedicated to resources acquired during the exchange.Moreover, suggestions to create spaces for reflection in the form of testimony or exhibits, school and para-school, will be proposed to the environment and local structures (PNRC .Q., Rural Homes and Rural Seniors , Institutions, National Education), therefore reaching a wide audience. The young participants in this project are also guarantors of generating a dynamic exchanges in their day with other young people.
