From youth work to politics and back in 5 days…
The main themes are reflecting the aim and objectives of the training course.
They are:
- What is European Citizenship? How can it be used in youth work? What is the political relevance of the concept?
- Europe and European identity: What does it mean to be European? How European are young people today? Where does Europe come from? How does European citizenship relate to other transnational identities, such as global citizenship?
- European Citizenship in Action: What does it mean to be an active citizen at local, national or international level? Are young people active citizens? How can youth work encourage active citizenship of young people?
- Dilemmas around European Citizenship: Why and how should someone be a critical European citizen? What about the world? How can European citizenship become reality under different social, political and economical circumstances?
- European Citizenship and Democracy, Youth Participation, Human Rights and Intercultural Learning: What are the connections between these themes, practices and concepts and European citizenship?
And most importantly:
- How to be youth in Action: How can European Citizenship be approached in youth work? How can the Youth in Action Programme and other European programmes support youth work on European Citizenship?
At the crossroads of theory and practice!
