Share yourself aims to promote volunteering experiences with following aims:- To promote solidarity and tolerance- To increase social cohesion among European youngsters- To promote active citizenship and contacts between youngsters of different countries To offer opportunities of non-formal education to 15 youngsters with low opportunitiesBeneficiaries are youngsters between 16 and 30 years old with low opportunities coming from 3 different social neighborhoods (suburbs) located in Loures, the north-west city just out of Lisbon.In those 3 neighborhoods we have many cases of youngsters considered "with low opportunities" due to low scholarity, to inadequate economical conditions, to situations of social exclusion that has as direct consequence the lack of self-esteem and of general interest in what is happening around them.The low capacity of search for existing opportunities by themselves induces them to the auto-exclusion and turns necessary our monitoring and social intervention. In this way we always discover that under the skin of apparent non-interested people as they look like, they reveal a great potential of energy and skills overall concerning artistic and creative fields.AMC will be the Coordinating and Sending Organization and our partners are the Hosting Organizations: each partner will host small groups of volunteers. Duration of the service of the volunteers will last 1 or 2 months (see detailed schedule) being short term projects.Partners are: CEMEA (Roma-Italy), SFERA (Novgorod-Russia), ARCISTRAUSS (Mussomeli-ltaly), PISTES SOLIDAIRES (Marseille-France), SYC (Ozurgeti-Georgia), LDA (Nis-Serbia).Every Organization has different plans for the volunteers but all of them works on Citizenship, the promotion of participation of youngsters and the breaking of social barriers through the promotion of the cultural diversities. The languages and the methods are inserted in the context of non-formal education that permits the youngsters to express themselves in creative and personal ways.
