How to promote the European citizenship<\/strong> and get to know the opportunity and tools offered by the EU<\/strong> for young people<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

We are ready to promote the second cycle of I\u00a0<\/strong>giovani parlano con l\u2019Europa<\/em><\/a> workshops. The sessions are targeted at young people over 18<\/strong> and would like to become informed and discuss <\/strong>different issues with their peers, in order to enhance their cultural understanding through active citizenship<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The sense of deep satisfaction which characterised the ending of the first cycle gave a new impulse and motivated us to keep working together with young people coming from different parts of the world<\/strong>, who now live and meet in Palermo, so as to share ideas and grow as citizens.<\/p>\n

These learning paths are designed to help young people gain a better understanding of themselves as individuals rich in skills and competences<\/strong> by allowing them to share experiences and acknowledge their potential<\/strong>. Open dialogue is the first step in assisting young people of any nationality to become aware of the rights and duties they have in the country they now live in<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The aim of the first part of the training, targeted at migrant and Italian youngsters, was to study and gain a deeper understanding of European cultures and geography and to discuss active citizenship at European and local level.<\/p>\n

Moreover, during the workshops participants had the opportunity to create their own CVs<\/strong> and conduct mock interviews<\/strong>. It certainly was an interesting and stimulating journey for all of them.<\/p>\n

Migration experiences contribute to change the cultural landscapes of individuals radically as they transform identities; such a process might be a long and painful one unless it is supported by skilled professionals.<\/p>\n

For this reason, we are ready to start a new cycle of workshops<\/strong>, which will be implemented in the first months of 2018. The workshops will involve a new group of young people. We will soon provide you with more details concerning the application process.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0<\/strong>giovani parlano con l\u2019Europa<\/em><\/a> is co-funded by <\/strong>\u201cGiovani per il Sociale<\/em>\u201d, an initiative promoted by the Department of Youth and National Civic Service \u2013 Presidency of the Council of Ministers<\/a> (Italy) and is aimed at enhancing and promoting active citizenship within the social and cultural contexts of migrant and local youth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The project involves three partners:<\/p>\n
