The CONNECTING CULTURES – BUILDING FRIENDSHIPS projects is an E+/KA1/youth exchange and has the following objectives:
OB.1) Developing a dynamic framework for reflection and debate concerning social responsibility practices related to fighting discrimination and promoting responsibility /friendship
OB.2) Building social responsibility and opinions concerning active citizenship, as well as creating a friendly inclusive environment for exchanging those opinions
OB.3) Testing socially responsible practices (in the field of promoting diversity/inclusion and fighting discrimination)
OB.4) Exploring contrasts between the project’s cultures and the filed of fighting discrimination / promoting diversity&friendship
OB.5) Learning about key-concept of the E+ Programme with a view towards exploiting new educational opportunities for participants
The above-mentioned objectives are SMART because they relate to:
– 3 bilateral youth exchanges hosted in Craiova/Romania in 2018, lasting 14 days each
– a total of 24 participants/exchange (10 youngsters + 2 group leaders/country)
– a partnership made up of 3 sending organizations (from Jordan, Georgia, Macedonia) and 1 hosting/coordinating organization from Romania
– a clear framework
– clear learning outcomes (knowledge/skills/behavior framed within the key-competences format), validated by 1 Youth Pass Certificate / participant
The above-mentioned objectives have a realistic timeframe, they will be achieved by the end of the project’s 6 months duration, through 3 successive bilateral exchanges lasting 14 days each. The quality and quantity indicators are measurable, achievable and realistic in relation to the project’s available resources. Moreover, our project’s objectives show a clear course (in the relevant fields: fighting discrimination and promoting diversity/friendship) for the 60 youngsters from Romania, Jordan, Georgia, Macedonia. This course will be followed step-by-step from the first to the last day of each mobility: reflection/debates (OB.1)–> forming opinions (OB.2)–> testing/experimenting (OB.3)–> reflection/synergies between the project’s cultures and topics (OB4.)
