European Youth Empowerment - Festivals
Strand2: Democratic engagement and civic participation
2.2: Network of Towns
The project will provide activities that will be tailored to contribute to citizens understanding of the EU, foster civic participation and specifically provide platforms to debate the future of Europe. By doing so the project will also aim to foster a strong sense of European identity and enhance mutual understanding between existing members and new EU members.
The project will debate the question of what is European Solidarity, by involving the younger generation from our communities to take part in a series of "European Youth Empowerment - Festivals - EYE Festivals". These festivals will be created to provide platforms for our young Europeans to meet and share their experiences of being European citizens, learn about the present state of Europe and understand the historical context and importance of the unions sustained future.
The project aims to understand the underlying concerns related to euroscepticism and societal changes that are at play within the EU. By identifying past achievements in the history of the EU and developing a dialogue and discussion around these moments as a means to highlight the EU strengths in being a force for peace and solidarity. By uniting young citizens under the goal of mutual understanding and appreciation of past solidarity events it will be possible to break down national perceptions and develop the means to foster greater appreciation on which the EU's moral base is founded.
Partners from FN, IT, LT, ME, EL, BIH will cooperate on the creation of 5 “EYE - festivals” and utilise LARPs (Live Action Role Plays) to reenact and learn about those past European achievements when the solidarity between nations was at its highest value. Focus will be on local community involvement and youth in order to create intercultural dialogue between project communities. This will provide a stage to learn, share and debate on issues related to the future of Europe while learning from the past EU achievements.
