"Euro Youth MEDIALAB" defines a new inclusive strategy and approach, to give youth required knowledges, wich will allow all of them to be and act as active citizens. This strategy is modeled in order to be used by any organisation working in the field of youth. It can be used, totally or partially, thank's to the european virtual exchanges platform we will create. To reach that result, we have established a transnational and multidisciplinary project team composed by 10 organisations including 5 associations, 3 local/regional authorities, 1 university and 1 regional innovation center coming from France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Finland, Northern Irland, Croatia, Bulgaria, Slovakia and Poland. It allows us to verify wether the strategy is usable in any member state, by any kind of organisation working in the field of education, training or youth work. Working in rural areas, as well as largest cities, providing their services in religious conflicts areas as well as regions where youth unemployment is over 55 % , partners members decided to join their skills, expertises and knowledges to develop this new strategy.The project proposes each partner to constitute Local Group which will represent 150 young people working in teams characterized by its variety. The proposed strategy is to be used to constitute Local groups, to animate it and to achieve the expected results and products. This strategy is built on a european approach (propose the Local group a virtual exchange with others european young people) and on the use of multimedia reports (photo, video, radio, numerical) to lead young people to : - be aware of the missing knowledges to become active citizen - produce themself needed knowledges by using a large variety of local actors from educational, political, economical, mediatical fields interviewing them - spread and share these knowledges with other young people through the multimedia reports produced- raise public awareness in the EU member states on a common issue (migrants in EU)- impact their society. The strategy gives youth workers, political decisions makers, teachers, trainers and organisations involved, new approach, methodology and skills to reach all youth in an inclusive way, to develop new transsectorial approach aimed at giving required knowledges to their target group in the field of citizenship. The european virtual exchange platform is a tool to organize virtual exchanges between young people and to animate the common debate on migrants in the EU.It also gives the opportunity to any kind of organisation to : - register a local group and applying all or parts of the strategy ;- identify potential partners to organize virtual or real youth exchanges;- use multimedia reports realized by local groups as pedagogical tool to work with its target-group ;- propose a transnational debate on an actually european common issue between youth in order to foster common shared values ;- work in the framework of transsectorial partnerships The project is realized by the transnational project team who will organize three transnational meetings and various virtual classrooms which will allow them to adopt a real quality approach built on common :- planification,- realization,- evaluation,- adaptation. A great advantage of the project is that all its members are part of the europe direct's network. That will guarantee a large spreading of its results and products among all european regions. Local and national dissemination events are organised and launch the opportunity, for any organisation working in the field of youth, to own the strategy using the methodological guide and the european virtual platform. These tools must be strenghten and used after the project time.
