Open, aware, active is an educational project fostering development of civil and social awareness of young people and development of active social participation and initiatives created by youth. Our project is a response to lack of sufficient actions focused on creating civil attitudes and low level of integration of young people with their local and international communities. The main goal is to raise the social activities of youngsters, their engagement in life of local and international communities they live in. 126 people - youth workers and beneficiaries of partner organizations' local actions - from Poland, Slovakia, Croatia, Greece, Italy and Lithuania, will come to Poland and take part in 3 youth exchanges during which they will work together, exchange knowledge, good practices regarding using informal education methods based on journalism, film and photography. During realization of activities we will focus on using almost only informal education - participants will mostly learn from each other (peer education), spending time together in an interesting way, sharing experience, getting to know each others cultures and different points of view. Our project will foster active participation of young people by giving them modern tools based on their interests - we hope that they will play more active role in their communities by taking responsibility for its development like their parents and grandparents did. We will put an emphasis on realization of intercultural dimension of the project. One of the main goals is to break stereotypes, building tolerant approach towards differences and atmosphere of mutual understanding among youth from different countries.
