PROJECT
FINISHED
"We get the future" is a youth exchange prepared to deal with the issues of citizenship. Our target group consists of 13-14 years old youths who are willing to learn about the European Union, their fundamental rights, their possibilities and about cooperation in general. We would like to tackle the issues of awareness, justice, integrity, inclusion and other social issues. We would like to educate the European youths about their position in life and we aim to give them some ideas about how to get along with other people and move forward from their current situation. We would like to encourage the participants to open up towards others and take advantage of all the programmes that are designed to help them become European citizens. Our main goal is to make the participants believe that the future is theirs, to make them realize that they are the ones who matter the most. Our main activities include creative planning sessions, mini projects, campaign-like situational games, as well as many exercises that help with self-reflection and group work. Intercultural evenings, city games and treasure hunts will ensure that each and every one of us will be provided with cultural component, too. „We get the future” will not only be held by experienced youth workers and volunteers but we will also visit a youth centre, talk about Erasmus+ and invite other people who are experienced in other key actions. With this project we would like to emphasize that we will not only receive the future but we will also understand what it will bring. This youth exchange will take place in Gánt, Hungary between the 20th and 27th of March, 2016 (including travelling days) and will also be the result of a newly established partnership between public institutions (schools) and NGOs. Nowadays it is a really important topic, that how can we work smoothly together in order to provide complex education for children, for our future. So we will prepare, execute and evaluate the project together, and in the meantime we will get new experiences, new knowledge. By inviting Czech, British and Slovak youth we would like to make sure that different point-of-views will be considered throughout all the activities. For more reliable exchange of information we would like to invite 8 participants and 2 leaders from each country.
