[nggallery id=15]

European Youth Meeting “1st International Youth Meeting: European Citizen – Where are you?” in Heiligenstadt/Thuringia, August 1^st – 7^th, 2010.

The project “1st International Youth Meeting: European Citizen – Where are you?” in Heiligenstadt/Thuringia, from August 1^st to 7^th, 2010 invited 43 juveniles and actives in the domain of youth work from several European countries, to set a platform for debating the essential topics of European citizenship and youth participance, exchanging experiences, and additionally learn more of non-formal methods, which could be made use of in future youth projects. Background information on the project you find here.

For this purpose CULTURE GOES EUROPE (CGE) – Soziokulturelle Initiative Erfurt e.V. organised several activities at different „floors“, so that the conference’s participants got the option of choosing out of the programme. Each project day was like a cluster with a special theme; from democracy to media. But these clusters had ever been connected to the project’s topics: youth participance, European citizenship, plus non-formal learning. A detailed press report can be downloaded here.

Within the framework of the project there had been an excursion to Erfurt on August 5^th, 2010. Following several workshops on topics like website/blog, graphics, and design etc., Plattform e.V. of Erfurt invited for a visitation of the “Projekt Ladebalken” (project “progress bar”) and for discussing the topics “youth participance at local level and the role of media”. The internal evaluation by all of the participants of the project you find here.

We want to give our sincere thanks again to all project partners, participants, the Marcel-Callo House of Heiligenstadt, and the international team for their support and cooperation!
