Project Summary

“Young Active Europeans” organised by Serbian NGO EKO MLADENOVAC has consisted of two training courses implemented in the late autumn of 2016 in Serbia (Mladenovac) and winter, 2017 in Poland (Krzyzowa).

The project brought together 12 youth NGOs from different European countries willing to explore the idea of youth social and political activism. We have also promoted recognition of European citizenship and practical exercising of citizens rights by young people through non-formal education in 12 European countries. The project consisted of two training courses for youth workers and young leaders

Training Course I – was dedicated to exploration of citizenship, its place in EU strategies and documents. Participants will learn how to promote European support systems fostering youth activism (including Erasmus+). They also worked on methods engaging youth into activities exploring their skills and triggering local activities.

Training Course II– the second training course was dedicated to exploration of soft skills as a key to youth engagement and social and political activism, as well as to development of practical skills needed to run local actions promoting active citizenship. We also explored deeper the idea of European citizenship. Participants learned different methods fostering youth skills and confidence in the process of developing and implementing local activities, engaging young people for the benefit of their local communities.
