ALL TOGETHER FOR A BETTER WORLD/ TOTI IMPREUNA PENTRU O LUME MAI BUNA! Pitesti - Arges, Romania

În perioada 21-29 aprilie 2012, Asociația YF-YOUTH&FUTURE implementează schimbul de tineri –ALL TOGETHER FOR A BETTER WORLD / TOTI IMPREUNA PENTRU O LUME MAI BUNA!, proiect finanțat de Comisia Europeană – Programul Tineret în Acțiune – Acțiunea 1.1. Proiectul beneficiază de participarea a 36 de tineri din Turcia, Bulgaria, Italia, Ungaria și România și are ca scop promovarea cetateniei europene active a tinerilor, sustinerea ideii de solidaritate si toleranta in vederea consolidarii coeziunii sociale in Uniunea Europeana, precum si cooperarea europeana in domeniul tineretului.

Astfel, timp de 9 zile, la Pitesti, in perioada 21.04 - 29.04.2012, tinerii participanti din 5 tari europene vor impartasi idealurile europene comune, intr-un climat de interculturalitate si constientizare a valorilor europene comune! Obiectivul general al acestui proiect este dezvoltarea solidaritatii si promovarea tolerantei in randul societatii civile in general, si in special al tinerilor, in spiritul unei cetatenii europene active, prin actiuni de voluntariat si educatie non-formala.

ALL TOGETHER FOR A BETTER WORLD sustine, de asemenea, ideea de voluntariat prin solidaritate umana si incluziune sociala a copiilor aflati in dificultate, prin vizita de lucru si workshop-ul  organizat la Centrul de copii Sf. Constantin si Elena din Pitesti, miercuri 25.04.2012, cat si prin donatii de carti/ albume/ pliante de prezentare din tarile, respectiv regiunile/ municipalitatile participante in proiect, care vor constitui o sursa de dobandire de noi cunostinte despre tarile europene, dar si o amintire placuta, creata acestor copii defavorizati de soarta, prin stabilirea unor contacte cu tineri europeni de varsta lor. De asemenea, toti tinerii participanti vor avea oportunitatea de a-si insusi valori si cunostinte culturale diverse, prin metode de educatie non-formala, astfel incat ei sa devina constienti de principiul european fundamental al unitatii prin diversitate, in spiritul prioritatii europene generale a Programului Tineret in Actiune – dezvoltarea invatarii interculturale in randul tinerilor. Tinerii europeni vor constientiza si ei misiunea lor de integrare sociala a altor tineri defavorizati, raspunzand astfel unui alt obiectiv al programului, acela de a dezvolta solidaritatea si de a promova toleranta, pentru consolidarea coeziunii sociale in Uniunea Europeana. Reusita actiunilor proiectului va declansa la nivelul personal al fiecarui participant constiinta propriei reusite, acest lucru contribuind la intarirea respectului de sine, un rezultat secundar, dar cu efecte maxime asupra dezvoltarii personalitatii unui tanar. Promovarea cetăteniei active, a incluziunii sociale si a solidaritătii în rândul tuturor tinerilor este unul dintre obiectivele specifice ale politicii cooperarii europene in domeniul tineretului pana in anul 2018. Este vital să oferim tuturor tinerilor posibilitatea de a-si realiza la maximum potentialul. Aceasta presupune nu numai investitia în tineret, punând la dispozitie resurse mai mari pentru a dezvolta politici care influentează viata de zi cu zi a tinerilor si le sporesc bunăstarea, ci si responsabilizarea tinerilor, prin promovarea autonomiei acestora si a potentialului tinerilor de a contribui la dezvoltarea durabila.

De asemenea, prin organizarea unor evenimente de tip Street Event miercuri, 25 aprilie 2012, în trei locații cheie: Centrul Sf. Constantin si Elena - Pitesti, Sala de conferinte a Consiliului Judetean Arges (unde pe langa o intalnire si discutii cu oficialitatile judetului, va avea loc si o conferinta de presa, pentru diseminarea activitatilor proiectului) si Amfiteatrul Muzeului Judetean Arges, tinerii promovează participarea egalilor lor în promovarea dialogului intergenerațional, a combaterii sărăciei și excluziunii sociale și a promovării voluntariatului ca mecanism de dezvoltare personal și profesională. Într-un cadru intercultural si lucrativ, cei 36 de tineri participă la ateliere bazate pe tehnici și metode de educație non-formală și promovează conceptul de cetatenie europeana activa, solidaritate si incluziune sociala, voluntariat, cat si programul Tineret în Acțiune și oportunitățile oferite de acest program tinerilor in general. Atât partenerii internaționali - BOLU I MILLI EGITIM MUDURLUGU - Turcia, CESIE - Italia, YOUNGSTERS OF SATA ASSOCIATION - Ungaria, KNOW AND CAN ASSOCIATION - Bulgaria, cât și partenerii locali – Consiliul Judetean Arges, Universitatea de Stat din Pitesti, Centrul Sf. Constantin si Elena, Muzeul Judetean Arges, Muzeul Golesti, Asociatia YF – Youth & Future organizație resursă pentru acest proiect, susțin eforturile celor 36 de participanți și ai egalilor lor – peste 70 de studenți si tineri care vor lua contact cu activitățile proiectului, pe parcursul proiectului, în identificarea unor mecanisme de activare a participării tinerilor în combaterea efectelor saraciei și excluziunii sociale.

The activities that took part, young people from Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria and the organizing country, Hungary tried to discover new things about each other, to join the group and to make new friends.

It is no surprise that many conflicts arise because of misunderstandings between people from different religious and cultural backgrounds, because a lot of prejudices and stereotypes circulating among young people who are not familiar with other religions and cultures.

The project objective was God for good cultural and religious barriers. To this end, presentations were made religions die each country, insisting on the impact religion has on people. For a better understanding of the characteristics of religion, young people staged representative moments: wedding (Bulgaria), Prayers (Turkey and Romania), moments of religious services - consecration of bread (Hungary).

During the project was also discussed youth participation in religious activities, as well as religious and cultural discrimination. This has pursued increased tolerance towards people of different cultural and religious backgrounds.

This youth exchange gave us the possibility to broaden the horizons in terms of how different religions have an impact on family and youth education.

In addition to these presentations, I took part in activities that have stimulated creativity. Among these should be mentioned making ceramic and glass paintings, works that were then donated to children in kindergarten from Sata.

Also to stimulate creativity, but also to work together, there were mixed groups, which had the task to create posters with messages against that young people have addictions: smoking, drugs, gambling. He created an interaction between the 24 young people involved in the project and high school students in Eger, which have posters were presented.

Books are my friends

Project Books are my friends, was held in Bolu , Turkey , the aim being to promote reading. The initiative came from VALILIGI Bolu, who proposed the subject, because in a survey done among the people of Turkey reesei sad fact that 70% of them do not read even one book a year.

 

In this project 25 young people participated in countries such as Bulgaria , Italy , Romania , Hungary and Turkey . The theme was read in public and finding passion for reading. All this has led to a pro-active cultural exchange, the foundation of relations and an exchange beneficial for all.
