🇭🇺 Erasmus+ Training Course 🗳️ Political Activity & Youth Involvement 🇭🇺

🌟 Defend Democracy & Shape the Future! 🇭🇺 Europe is currently facing the rise of radicalism and populism. Many young people feel disconnected from "rotten politics" or choose to leave for more established democracies. This project offers an alternative: democratically conscious civil involvement based on mutual respect, shared responsibility, and active European citizenship. ✨

🚀 What is the Aim of the Project?

🎯 The main goal is to increase youth involvement in politics across Europe, with a special focus on Eastern Europe. By exploring different political systems and cultures, participants will learn the importance of social responsibility. Whether you come from a country with a long democratic history or a transitioning system, this is a space to learn from one another and understand how to form your own society. 🌍

🛠️ What to Expect?

🎭 Simulations: Experiencing different political systems like democracies, dictatorships, and anarchy.
🎨 Community Art: Using painting, music, and theatre to create a fictional culture and "tribes."
🗣️ Debate Forums: Discussing universal political issues and interactive tasks in various formats.
🇪🇺 Shared Responsibility: Understanding our role as European citizens in modern society.
