Forg'Europe - Offrir à tous les jeunes une première expérience de mobilité en Europe
Start date: May 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

While the European Union tends to focus nowadays on the aims of active citizenship, citizens’ debates and the acceptance of diversity, equality and unity values to face those societal challenges, we consider that educating and raising awareness amongst all young people is a fundamental step to accompany them to become fully aware active citizens. The EYP-France has created a non-formal education programme in order to integrate young people with fewer opportunities to the public debate and reduce inequalities amongst young people. We have noticed that the European Youth shows today a profound lack of interest about Europe. The first part of our project is being currently set, within three high schools : one agricultural, one IT and one in a « Priority Education Zone ». We organise with them workshops on mobility in Europe, on how to speak in front of an audience thanks to drama, debates on European issues, etc. The young participants are facing many obstacles in their today lives (economic, geographical, social) that could make their participation to parliamentary simulations abroad be more complicated.We now want to continue this program thanks to a second phase : by allowing young volunteers to participate in our activities abroad. Before and during this mobility, young people will be the principal actors of this project. They will be involved in both logistic and pedagogic preparations. The planning of the activities abroad will have a common thematic: cultural diversity in Europe. Part of this programme will be the participation with other young Europeans to a parliamentary simulation. This activity will allow them to develop new abilities (debating skills, active listening, work in groups, capacity to speak in public, etc). But most of all, they will live a true first experience of all the different aspects of cultural diversity, thanks to the daily contact with other Europeans.This medium encourages active participation and interaction. This project is a pilot project, which we want to improve thanks to the participants’ feedback and the outcomes we will reach, in order to spread it to other areas and to more young people with fewer opportunities.
