Details:
The promotion of European Citizenship has been a long-standing priority of the Council of Europe and European Union alike. Violations of human rights and the increasing change of patterns of political participation all over Europe are only two of many developments that have brought the two big European institutions together to work on European Citizenship.
This co-operation between the Council of Europe's Directorate of Youth and Sports on the one hand and the European Union's European Commission on the other hand happens in the framework of a partnership with the following aims:
• to make young people and multipliers aware of human rights and the common values European citizens share and to provide them with the skills and tools to enhance their activities in this context,
• to train, at transnational level, youth workers and youth leaders as well as other multipliers in the youth field, and
• to sustain and widen networks of youth workers and youth leaders; to promote the understanding of and respect for cultural diversity and intercultural co-operation.
The «Youth in Action» programme of the European Commission has made «European Citizenship» a key priority by aiming to "promote young people’s active citizenship in general and their European citizenship in particular."
Aim and objectives
The training course has five objectives to realise this aim, namely to:
• critically explore the meaning relevance and implications European citizenship in youth work in all its dimensions;
• promote and facilitate the active use of programmes and structures in support of youth work on European Citizenship, including the «Youth in Action» programme;
• experience and explore the potential of European Citizenship for active democratic change in society;
• associate the participants with the current discourse on European Citizenship (its concepts, formal meanings and expressions);
• exemplify the connection between European Citizenship, Human Rights, Democracy and Intercultural Learning and the underlying values.
Educational approach
Our training will address European Citizenship in youth work and all connected issues by means of non-formal learning, based on your experience, your motivation, your needs and your own learning objectives. Non-formal education and learning is different from formal education or spontaneous informal learning. It means for instance, that you are at the training course because you wanted to yourself, and not because anyone told you that you have to be there. It also means that you are responsible for your own learning, while the team and the group support you. And it certainly means that your feedback is valid and important and will be used to improve future training courses. And, let's not forget that non-formal learning also means facing a challenge, experiencing and learning to cope with quite a bit of stress, but also – lots of fun!
