Project Summary

Europia is the future, it is the Europe that could be if youth assumes their key role in the society building through on their ideals and their citizenship.However this procedure can not be demanded, we can not require to young people to assume the main role on the future. It’s necessary they discover their strength by themselves developing their competences to get it. Europia is that educational procedure. It is a high impact program, but also dynamic and funny, to allow users to develop their own competencies through a tool close to young people: their mobil.“Develloping locally, changing globally” will be a strategic partnership between six European entities (Fundación Viento del Pueblo – Spain, Librotondo Coop ONLUS – Italy, Formatus – Portugal, Anazitites theatrou ngo-Greece, Dil ve kultur toplulugu – Turkey, Asociatia Tineri Parteneri pentru Dezvoltarea Societii Civile- Romania) that have worked in a coordinated manner and all together to promote an active citizenship in youth during 21 months through a virtual and presential way.
This initiative have had one transnational meeting (Valencia), many virtual meetings and a big multiplier event that have allowed an international dissemination of the results.This partnership have proposed a highly innovative project because it have created an accurate educational itinerary to form in entities management, implementation of projects and the achievement of results with European impact through a video game: EUROPIA. It is combinative game of action and adventure. The player will implement a virtual and social entrepreneurship project to change their own city in the game. The player will learn all necessary procedures to create an association. He/she will manage the new association (taxes, management, administration…), he/she must seek partners to support their projects, they should seek partners to support their projects, talk to the authorities to seek their support and carry out their own project.
– EUROPIA GUIDE FOR ENTITIES MANAGEMENT: A guide to form the players how to play the game, and also will include a series of manuals for the management of specific entities (management, taxation, make projects, take funds…) and propose some ways to change Europe.
– GUIDE FOR YOUNG EMANCIPATION to encourage replication of this project and contribute to settling a European solidarity network between young people in order to enhance their emancipatory capacity. A guide to use non-formal and informal (the most appropriate for the profile of the participants) to promote the acquisition of skills education, employability and ultimately the full emancipation of young people with fewer opportunities.

EUROPIA and other results have had a fundamental objective: ensuring a high impact on the participants to enable them to ensure the future and to develop their own communities.Through a dynamic and participative methodology, this project will produce a high impact at international level, more than 200.000 indirect beneficiaries through the public campaigns, teach many young people by a game to create their own projects to change their community. From a dynamic and participatory methodology, this project will allow a major international impact, it will have more than 200,000 indirect beneficiaries through public campaigns, it taught over 100,000 young people to implement projects to change their immediate environment and 400 direct beneficiaries through the guides. The work of the partnership responsibles and the young volunteers of each participating countries have produced many tangible results and have developed high-quality labor training.In the long term this network will seek to consolidate the strategic partnership and encourage the exchange of young people and projects (new projects through the ERASMUS PLUS KA1 , etc.), in order to encourage European citizenship, living new experiences, learn several languages ensuring the development of these young people with the greatest chance of success.
