'Empowering for Critical Citizenship' supports and gives guidance to trainers to strengthen skills for critical citizenship in groups of young people and youth workers. The project brings together trainers and youth workers and supports them to connect, share ideas, learn and commonly develop tools and curricula about how critical citizenship and political empowerment can be organised in the 21st century.'Empowering for Critical Citizenship' seeks to address political alienation and apathy in groups of young people: the feeling that they lack the power to claim a voice in political and public debate and that they cannot affect the outcomes of decision-making.Critical citizens- develop a critical view on political, economic and social structures- are sensitive to injustice and inequality- develop the capacities to bring about changes in the existing structures in a democratic way.The promotion of critical citizenship can play a key role to encourage more innovative and participatory tools to influence public debate and deepen political and social participation by young people.The objectives of 'Empowering for Critical Citizenship' are threefold:1. to build and strengthen the capacities in the training collectives of the partner organisations to deliver high quality and inclusive training for youth workers and young people on skills for critical citizenship2. to promote the importance of critical citizenship and spread skills for social change in groups of young people and youth workers through tailor-made participative training and workshops3. to share the tools, methods, training materials and curricula we develop and test with youth workers and trainers on a wider European levelThe transnational cooperation that the project establishes functions as a force multiplier: it allows us to answer needs and challenges more efficiently, more successfully and with more sustainable results, both within the organisations and for the target groups.Our final target groups are young people and youth workers. We prioritize, but do not limit ourselves to young people and youth workers working on, and affected by, among others, migration issues, gentrification, and/or climate change and energy policies.The achieve the objectives the partners in the project- cooperate to develop learning trajectories for their trainers- collectively create tools, methodologies and curricula on critical citizenship- exchange best practices on active outreach to youth workers and young people- organise two learning activities to deepen and share skills- use digital platforms and existing networks of trainers and youth workers to share and spread the results of the project.About fifty trainers and youth workers will actively take part in the internal capacity-building. We estimate five hundred young people and youth workers will participate in workshops and trainings on skills for critical citizenship. The outreach to youth workers and wider dissemination of results towards trainers will have a cascading effect to ensure more impact.'Empowering for Critical Citizenship' aims to bring about lasting impact: stronger and more capable trainers in the partner organisations and the wider European network and groups of young people and youth workers capable and empowered to bring about democratic change. On a wider level, the project will contribute to the promotion of democratic values and critical citizenship in Europe.
