"This project called ""ACTIVE CITIZENS +"" arises from the need detected by the partners involved in the implementation to reflect and innovate around the search of strategies for the promotion of active participation and citizenship of European youth and the need to promote European values in the face of the emergence and growth of Eurosceptic movements.Faced with the growing emergence of non-Europeanist movements in the continent, we believe that more than ever it is necessary to enhance social cohesion and the social inclusion of youth through active participation and citizenship, empowering young people and making them mistresses of their present and future. of your future. This is the origin of one of the innovative approaches that we want to propose with this project, emphasizing through this project the importance of strengthening ties and transactional strategies between organizations to promote European values and European citizenship. With the current movements that attack the European Union and the models of coexistence based on interculturalism, tolerance and non-racism, we believe that it is necessary to remind our young people of the origin of the European Union, so as not to make the same mistakes of past centuries and to make known the European values that guarantee a model of society based on respect, interculturality, peace and transnational cooperation. The project will implement strategies at European level and at the local level to address this aspect in an innovative way.The project aims to implement at the local level the ""ACTIVE CITIZENS SPACES +"". From this spaces the project partners will launch different actions, activities and campaigns to promote the participation and active citizenship of youth, with special emphasis to social inclusion for an integral participation of youth. From these spaces reflections on the new ways of participation in youth will be carried out in order to propose an innovative approach when promoting the active participation of youth. We intend that these spaces endure in time once the project is finished.It is expected in the Project to reach the following objectives and activities:- Start up the ""ACTIVE CITIZENS SPACES +"" in three different European countries.- Carry out three specific training actions to train workers in the field of youth and young people interested in the theme of the Project- Develop and edit one intellectual product linked to the theme of the project and of pedagogical utility for workers in the field of youth and for youth in general.- Set up a TRAVELING EXHIBITION in each of the partner countries on the origins of the European Union and the Council of Europe- Carry out a transnational meeting to prepare the project in the first months of the project.The main beneficiaries of the actions that will be developed in the project will be young people in general and young people with fewer opportunities in particular, in addition to workers in the field of youth who participate in the different training activities that will be carried out with the project. It is expected that a total of 38 people will participate in the training activities included in this project and a lot of young people participate directly or indirectly in the project, in addition to the volunteers, experts, technicians and managers of the partner organizations that will be involved in the project. the different phases of the project. Throughout the development of the project, the impact, the dissemination of results and the sustainability of the project will be important aspects that will be taken into account by all partners. The project will involve 6 organizations with extensive experience at local and European level from France, Italy and Spain. The project will have a total duration of 26 months and will begin on 1st december 2019."

We must be aware that the social and economic impact of the current health crisis of COVID-19 in our environment and in environments with fewer opportunities, will generate a social crisis of which we believe that a good way to support youth, especially those in social disadvantage and the sectors of culture and creation, will be promoting social inclusion through the empowerment and active participation of youth in society, using art and creativity as a means to acquire skills.We will create a European network of youth organizations, from which to promote the development of a more structured cooperation, online and offline, in order to strengthen partnerships focusing on inclusive participation and the development of skills through creativity and the arts, with the aim of giving youth a voice and promoting their active participation using Collective Theater Creation as an educational tool in the field of Shadow Theater. The Collective Theater Creation is a method of artistic production that is based on the development of the creative capacities of all participants immersed in the creative process. It is a group method that highlights relationships and interactions on a horizontal level of cooperation.Once the project starts, a base group of young people will be created in each of the organizations made up of young people from the local community, guaranteeing the participation of socially disadvantaged young people, who, accompanied by youth workers, will design the basic lines of the local group of Collective Theater Creation of each partner entity. This group will try to involve the greatest number of young people in the development of artistic and creative activities and workshops, involving young people who are socially disadvantaged due to educational, social, cultural (migrant origin, minorities, ...) and / or economic issues. From the network we will carry out different activities at the local and European level with the aim of launching artistic workshops to promote creativity using different artistic techniques that we will later use in the Shadow Theater. Participants will be able to participate in the process of a theatrical creation from start to finish, as a way to foster their creative learning, their entrepreneurial spirit and innovation. We will use music, dance, body expression, plastic and digital arts, etc ... as tools that will promote creativity for the development and acquisition of skills. It is expected to involve young artists from the local community in the implementation of these workshops, as a way of supporting and reinforcing their talent and artistic activity, and different groups from the world of arts and culture. We consider your participation in the project as key as a way to help the culture and creation sector to recover from the crisis caused by Covid-19. Their presence will serve to promote youth employability and entrepreneurship in the cultural and artistic fields and to nurture talents and foster entrepreneurship in the cultural and creative fields.The project plans to:• Carry out three transnational meetings.• Launch three training / learning activities addressing key elements of the project.• Create a Shadow Theater Manual as an educational tool for social inclusion through Art and Creativity (Intellectual Output).• Promote activities at the local level as a means of acquiring skills using art and creativity and involving youth organizations with groups and agents from the world of arts and culture.• Promote the exchange of good practices.In the implementation of the project we will use an active and participatory methodology linked to non-formal education. We will also use an innovative methodology called Service-Learning. Service-learning is a methodology oriented to education for citizenship, inspired by active pedagogies and compatible with other educational strategies. In this project it is also conceived as a method to unite learning and social commitment: learning to be competent by being useful to others.It is expected that a total of 60 people will participate in the transnational training actions that appear in this project and that directly or indirectly in the project about 600 people will participate in childhood, adolescence, youth, youth workers, young artists in addition to volunteers, experts, technicians and managers of the partner entities that will be involved in the different phases of the project.The project will involve 4 entities with extensive experience at the local and European level from France, Italy, Turkey and Spain and will have a total duration of 24 months, starting on June 30, 2021.
