The global crisis and the “de-linking” between growth trajectories in Europe and in the so-called BRIC countries has brought a strong risk of retrenchment into national spheres. But the economic, ecological and social future of many people in the world will depend in great part on the capacity to develop innovative methods, practices and solution-strategies for a strong global collaboration to solve the world’s most pressing issues. The relation between Brazil and China as emerging countries of continental dimension, and Europe as a continent of established democracy based on a sustainable social market economy, is key to this process. Development of a youth sector with a global outlook able and willing to reach out of their own national/continental space is the pre-requisite for this to happen.The project "Transnational Dialogues: A Factory for Immagination, Innovation and Integration across Europe, China and Brazil" (TD-EBC) aims at bringing together a group of young people from Europe, China and Brazil who will learn, reflect and act upon the four main issues dealt by the project: innovation, creativity, integration and transnationalism. The cooperation will take place both online through a private platform and a public website and with many activities taking place in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Chongqing, Beijing, Berlin and Rome, such as the Transnational Labs and the Transnational Caravans.
