Context:
2013 was the European Year of Citizens, with the focus on the fact that citizens of Europe and neighbouring countries understand their rights and the concept of Europe as a living mechanism and these concepts continue to be relevant no matter what year emphasises it. If more informed people can take decisions in their context, and democratic life in Europe can be more vibrant at all levels. The vision for the European Citizenship is to offer to people throughout Europe chances to:
• learn about the rights and opportunities,
• stimulate debate about the obstacles that prevent people from fully using these rights
• be encouraged to participate in civic form on European policies and issues.
The training project PEACE was created from a need to offer participants a chance to identify the context of the term European Citizen (based on values not only on borders) and to empower youth leaders towards promoting active citizenship in their local context. In specific the training will give opportunities of exploring ones’ identity, citizenship, citizenship within European context and ways of active participation within the local community.
Aim:
The training course aims at reflecting the personal dimension (values, sense of belonging) and general dimension (rights, responsibilities) of the European citizenship concept. Also it aims at promoting active participation on local and European level among youth workers.
