All over Europe policy makers are deciding things that influence our lives and our future. These everyday-decisions are made locally, nationally and internationally. How much can we change and influence those decisions? Do we only get to vote between good and bad, or sometimes bad or worse? Or can we make a difference? Can we participate more in the policy-making of our local communities and beyond? How objective is information? How free is our freedom of speech? How much power do the people have? How do we allow our target groups to participate within our own organization? Do we make decisions top-down or bottom-up? Crazy for DemoCrazy will take place in Bari . Starting from 3/11/2015 until 08/11/2015. ( 6 days activities excluding travel days ) . The training will be organized by EUROSUD , organization for the European youth mobility and SOF INGO from Belgium. The questions mentioned above will be answered by 30 participants from 8 different countries and published on social media and available on internet-forum platform . This training course will provide a unique experience in democracy and participation. Together we will answer to the questions above , starting a dialogue between participants about these topics. We will learn non-formal teaching methods on how to help youngsters think about how they are participating in the decisions that are creating and influencing their own life. We will address the following topics: Use of media and internet for research, independent media, international political systems, European policy-making, European democratic structure, local political structures, participation of youngsters in policy-making, democratic decisions within our organizations, and argumentation & debating. All of these topics will be covered through non-formal methods or experience-based learning. Participants will give input themselves, gathered from analyzing games and exercises. Together we will formulate our findings and match it with theoretical content. All participants will get to know methods to use when working with youngsters on themes like democracy, participation in policy- and decision making, elections and so on. In case studies we will question some European issues, identify differences in democratic systems and find the benefits and threads for our democracies. We will find out that no country is the same and we need to learn from each-other. The results of our case-studies will be published on a new platform, a new internet-forum where discussions can be held on democratic topics and European integration and values. A platform where all of the used methods and developed new ones can be shared and passed on to other colleges, other organizations, etc. This training-course will be the start of widening the network for our organizations, our personal view on democracy and contribute to the general understanding of Europe. We want to provide a new approach, a new way of looking at how policies are made. We want to promote a clearer understanding of the meaning and relevance of democracy as a core value with human dignity and equality of opportunity. We believe this project will have an impact not only on the youth-workers but also on the local communities and organizations they come from. Our participants will become more involved in local policy-making and the participation of youngsters in any decision-making field. In some cases our participants will start a different, more grounded dialogue with their local municipalities. The work done through experiential learning methodologies and based on the principles of non-formal education itself ensures a holistic approach where the participants will develop skills and knowledge as both attitudes. In this case, and based on the theme of the project, democracy could not be more appropriate as a context for the development of personal attitudes such as tolerance, respect, empathy, solidarity and equality of opportunity. We believe that in order to build a new future, we have to educate this future. We have to make youngsters aware of the possibilities of democracy as well instead of only pointing out the problems. We need to get youngsters crazy about democracy and ready to innovate it over and over again.
