FROM E.U. TO YOU!

ERASMUS+ YOUTH EXCHANGE

Dates: 28th October – 4th November 2018

Location: Aarhus, Denmark
Participating countries: Denmark, Italy, Romania, Poland, Croatia & Bulgaria
ABOUT THE PROJECT
We know Euroscepticism is recognized as a principled opposition to the EU and European
integration and therefore can be seen in parties who think that their countries should withdraw
from membership, and who are gaining more power. Citizens and young people in EU are being
influenced more by Euroscepticism, with this project we want to combat ignorance and take a
concrete step in making young people (and the citizens affected by the project) understand what
the real opportunities and positive life standards are provided by EU are.

We strive to focus on showing and sharing the advantages of European Unity and Solidarity. This
focus on the topic will move to the concrete aspects of what EU does for Citizens and what are
Citizens supposed to do for EU. We would like to implement a project which aims to:
- Make participants understand a concrete point of view of what EU is doing for citizens;
- Support young people in finding their role in society, by giving them instruments and a clear
understanding of their opportunities;
- Encourage young people to take concrete actions in the defense of their rights, duties, and
role in the present and future of Europe;
- Foster active youth participation, helping young people to become agents of positive change
in their society and in Europe;
- Develop a better understanding of the concepts of democracy, citizenship and participation;
- Fight ignorance on European Union, Euroscepticism and sharing a positive attitude towards
EU and Europeanism;
- Increase the awareness among young people on social issues the EU is facing

LEARNING OUTCOMES
This project is highly linked with the Erasmus+ Programme specific actions since it is referring to
improve the level of key competences and skills of young people, including those with fewer
opportunities, as well as to promote participation in democratic life in Europe and active citizenship,
intercultural dialogue, social inclusion and solidarity, in particular through increased learning
mobility opportunities for young people, those active in youth work or youth organisations and
youth leaders, and through strengthened links between the youth field;
Learning outcomes of participants will be, indeed:
 They will understand what the opportunities for young people and citizens provided by EU
are;
 They will be more able to discuss political and social topics seriously;
 They will be more receptive to Europe's multiculturalism;
 They will be more committed to work against discrimination, intolerance, xenophobia or
racism;
 They will be more willing to take action in order to change the things that do not work in
their surroundings;
 They will be more aware of the fact that some people in our society are disadvantaged;
They will be more willing to express their opinions to the others and stand for them;

As one of the issues in EU is nowadays the promoting of diversity and intercultural dialogue as the
project focuses on development of attitude on social issues the EU is facing, the project seeks to
develop the sense for critical thinking and initiative of young people.
