This project includes three residential activities (Portugal, Cape Verde and Spain) and in between participants will put in practice in their contexts the outcomes of the residential events. It will be involved a total of 21 participants (one educator and one political representative from each partner - expects Portugal), 3 trainers, 1 reporter and documentalist and 2 local organizers and one person from the Secretariat of Portuguese NYC. As main outputs we'll have a common global agenda of political representatives, 10 Global Education national activities and a publication. As indirect target group, we plan to reach around 200 youngsters that will participate in the national activities. The publication will assure the results dissemination and it's expected to be a useful tool for partners and others working in the youth field. With this project, we hope to bring closer different regional youth cooperation processes and actors.
