Summary
This project is a follow up project build by the partnership as a direct result of the successful completion of other youth exchanges. The problems identified in these projects allowed us to build this project with the hope to help more young people learn more about the European System, the European democratic system and the importance of active citizenship and active participation of youth in policy and society.
We discovered that young people don’t really understand how the EU works, what their place and role in the EU is or should be and what their obligations are or how they can facilitate change in their communities and in the EU. We want to help young people understand the concept of the EU, how it works and how important their role is in the EU. We have chosen sports as a medium to help them understand this concept better. The EU is currently made up of 28 countries, some are major players, but the majority are minorities within the EU and sometimes feel insignificant, with a feeling that they are too weak as countries, either economically or in numbers to have any impact or effect on EU policy. We need to show that every country regardless of how big or small, is a contributor to the EU and plays a vital role in the EU. The objective is to allow the youth to better understand that by being active members of a society and by working together and also contributing to the growth of the EU they can be key players in the EU. The idea is to allow all youth to feel equally important in the EU and in their countries.
The project will adopt sports as the medium to simulate the workings of the EU allowing participants to work together in international groups to utilise individual strength to make the groups stronger and also to understand weaknesses so that we can help each other be stronger as a whole.
By taking this approach, we will understand how the EU works and how we as youth can make a difference by working together for a greater unified EU. Many aspects need to be analysed during the project including cultural differences, local resources and strengths of each country and also the knowledge available in each community.
We believe this project is a great way to show young people how to work together and take advantage of the different strengths of each country and person to help them work together just like the EU does.
The project demonstrated a great understanding of Human Rights, rights associated with being an EU citizen and the importance of active citizenship. We saw the importance of countries working together in the EU so that we can promote EU enlargement and at the same time improve the quality of life of all our citizens and those of our neighbours.
The partnership built strong relations and incorporated new methodologies to promote peace, cooperation, human rights and a better understanding of active citizenship.
We believe the project influenced the participants of this project, the partner organisations and many young people in each of the partner countries, and beyond, on the importance of active citizenship and especially on how the EU invests in Youth, the member countries and the partner countries of the EU. We learned and promoted the EU democratic model and allowed young people from across the globe to see this model and appreciate and respect it.
