International youth camp 2014 "Equality"
Start date: Jun 30, 2014, End date: Jul 29, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

International youth camp 2014 " Equality" 51 participants from four European nations within the municipality of Mark , several administrations actively work to increase young people's influence and ability to influence the future development at local, regional, national and international level. This year's camp is part of a collaboration that began in 2005 between Spain, Poland and Germany where youths have come together in the different countries and gathers around issues that concern them . By the choice of the theme of equality , we want to highlight the issue of what equality is and what it can mean in our daily life in terms of school and work etc . With our project we want to show that there is an area where we can all contribute , it is an area of ​​great span , but also an area where it does matter how we as individuals act. We are looking forward with great interest on how to work with these issues nationally and in this case in a European perspective. The substance flows from a reference group of 10 young people who participated in previous camps and we would thus create conditions for youth participation and influence in the camp. Our idea is that the open youth activities will be too: " Catalyze and support activities based on and requires adolescent 's own active involvement and accountability . " This means that young people should be fully involved in the business all stages from concept, the planning and preparation, to implementation and evaluation. This idea is based on the knowledge that young people who are involved feel better, be easier to deal with adversity and develop more positive than those not given the same opportunity. Our hope is that this creates an understanding and a good view of the importance of equality and all the injustices that people are exposed to in society is not only done but there are underlying structures and events that create this . We believe that in a democratic society , you are to consider your surroundings and evaluate it by your local conditions and tist values. Our hope is that this may create a commitment to the young people that they have with them in their future lives and that they positively can influence in European society by in early life make contacts in Europe and gain an insight into the condition given in our European countries and worldwide.
