Erasmus+ activity Civitas 2023:
Promoting Active Citizenship through Youth Work
Duration of the project: from July 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023.
The project is co-financed by EU funds from the Erasmus+ program
Project partners: Fedactio (Belgium) VitaTiim (Estonia), IGOR and Prizma Association (Croatia), Ottovolante Sulcis (Italy), Young Folks (Latvia), Tavo Europa (Lithuania), Splora (Spain).
KA1 – Mobility of Youth Workers
Youth all over Europe lack knowledge about the European Union. This affects youth in a negative way because they miss out on opportunities provided by the EU, such as education or training mobility, international volunteering or youth exchanges. Furthermore, youth’s participation in democratic processes is limited by obstacles they face and by lack of knowledge about the functioning of the Union, as well as by low level of media literacy and uncritical thinking.
Youth can become more active citizens if they improve media literacy and critical thinking skills, and gain knowledge on the EU, especially about the Union's functioning, and its values. Moreover, these knowledge and skills can boost youth’s employability, increase sense of initiative and self-esteem, enhance intercultural awareness and foster European identity.
In order to better meet the needs of local youth and help them overcome social, cultural and geographic obstacles, the aim of the activity is to increase the quality of youth work of partner organisations in promoting active citizenship. Special emphasis will be put on using non-formal education methods because non-formal learning can help enhance youth’s understanding of the EU, inspire a more active participation in social and democratic processes, as well as foster a sense of belonging to the European Union.
Activity’s aim will be achieved through three specific objectives:
- increasing knowledge of partners' youth workers related to the Union’s functioning, common EU values, and fundamental rights
- increasing knowledge, competences and skills of partners' youth workers related to promoting media literacy and critical thinking among youth
- exchanging experiences of participating organisations on how to use non-formal education in promoting active citizenship among youth.
