Overview of projects selected for fundingREFERENCE: 193931-4.6-BE-2010-R1
TITLE: Antwerp European Youth Capital - A partnership in European cooperation
DESCRIPTION: Antwerp counts many different clubs and societies for children and youngsters.
Characteristic for all these organisations is the participatory approach and the non
formal learning methods. The activities are set up during leisure time/free time and focus
on learning by doing, exchanging views, and practices. During 2011, Antwerp wants to
put these activities in the spotlight in promoting young peoples active citizenship.
The City intends to support clubs/organizations and give them the opportunity to accept
new challenges. Those organizations expressed the wish to broaden their horizons and
to look for foreign partners. They want to work on projects together, set up exchanges,
learn from foreign practices but they also want to give their young members the
opportunity to have an international experience as they believe that an international
exchange has a positive impact on their individual development.
With this application, the City of Antwerp wants to offer 6 organizations from the region
of Antwerp, together with partners from 17 countries (Belgium, Croatia, Denmark,
Estonia, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Malta, The Nederland, Norway, Portugal,
Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey), the opportunity to set up an international
project that is closely related to the challenge in their daily work. For some of them, it will
be the first time, for some others there is a need to increase their international network
or make the network more sustainable.
The City of Antwerp wants to cooperate with these organizations to realize their
projects. These activities will become part of the programme of Antwerp European
Youth Capital (AEYC). The goal of this project is to create a sustainable environment for
international projects, to create sustainable networks and to inspire other partners and
young people to develop international projects and to promote European cooperation in
the youth field. Therefore, the applicant wishes to make these activities sufficiently
visible so they can function as examples and inspire other organizations.
The work programme consists of 5 youth exchanges, 1 seminar and 1 international
event, taking place in Antwerp. All the organisations involved are used to work with a
participatory approach, organise activities in free-time, with a participation of youngsters
on a voluntary basis.
Formaat, a Flemish umbrella organization of youth clubs and youth centers, sets up an
exchange in July 2011. It offers 55 young people from 9 different countries the
opportunity to exchange experiences about the different youth club cultures.
Vilanella is the organiser of the successful Kunstbende (Arts Gang) and organises an
exchange in August 2011 with 9 partners. The goal is to increase its European network
and make it more sustainable. 60 Young people will be involved in a creative exchange.
A showing for a wide audience will be organised, during which the result of the
exchange will be presented.
Murga vzw is a social-artistic organization, focusing on cultural diversity. The
organization intends to set up an exchange including. 44 Young people from 3
countries. Through 2 big showings in Antwerp, a large number of young people will see
the result of the exchange and experiment a dynamics based on the richness of the
diversity and the creativity of young people.
Kindervreugd is experienced in arranging holidays for children and young people in
Antwerp. During AEYC they will organize, in cooperation with Slovenia, an international
exchange giving 20 young people the opportunity to share their experiences as young
volunteers.
Europakring is a student organization which often organizes free-time activities that
have Europe as a theme. In 2011 they want to give their activities a true European aura
by organising a first European youth exchange in Antwerp for 50 students from
Rotterdam, Antwerp, Turin and Braga, (the other European Youth Capital cities). The
participants will debate on the European dimension in economic, politic and cultural
matters.
AEYC is an interesting background to reflect on how to set up youth work in an urban
context. Special attention is given to vulnerable children and young people. Together
with 4 foreign partners, the organization Uit de Marge wants to set up a seminar
concerning this subject. During this 3-day seminar 50 youth workers will get the
opportunity to reflect on this theme through lectures, practical examples and the
exchanging experiences.
2/3Jint, the National Agency, bi-annually organises the 'Go Strange' event. This is a fair
where young people can find information if they are interested in all kind of possibilities
of going abroad (exchanges, voluntary work, work, etc). Antwerp will be the guest city
for this initiative in 2011.
To give this initiative a more permanent character, a publication will be designed (book,
DVD).

participants compared to last year (through the reinforcement of communication and the
duration of annual workshops), establishment of at least 12 issues of the journal
scattonius, increase in cultural activities workshops, the establishment of a European
partnership for future projects, incentives for long-distance relationship between groups
of young people in Europe, strengthening the networks between European institutions

TITLE: Increasing opportunities and building a sustainable future for an audiovisual youth
network
DESCRIPTION: NISI MASA, the European network of young cinema, reaches its 10th year of existence
in 2011. After 10 years of audiovisual activities, the aim of this project will be to
consolidate several existing successful projects and make them sustainable long-term,
whilst looking to the future and inventing fresh opportunities for our network and its
members, both old and new, both individuals and associations.
The meetings aim to offer young people the chance to develop their awareness of
European cultural diversity through informal education: the discovering of European
films, the exploration of cinematic tools, and debating common topics. The planned
activities will promote active citizenship by involving the participants in concrete and
realistic projects. They also aim to develop the NISI MASA network in terms of project
strategy and the development of youth organisations. Synergy and cooperation in the
youth field will be developed in both old and new member countries of the network.
Within the project, five meetings are planned, four Youth Initiatives and one Training
Seminar. Two of the meetings are filmmaking workshops using audiovisual tools as an
outlet for freedom of speech and as a way of exploring Europe's cultural diversity (taking
place in Bucharest and Marseille). Two meetings are film journalism workshops which
consist of the publication of a daily gazette - Nisimazine; during two film festivals (taking
place in Cannes and Amsterdam). And the last, the training seminar, is dedicated to
best practises in organising youth cinema screenings and film festivals, an activity which
is very relevant for the current and futures development of all of the NISI MASA network
associations.
The venues are Cannes (France), Amsterdam (The Netherlands), Bucharest (Romania),
Espinho (Portugal) and Marseille (France). There will be 92 participants between 18 and
30 years old coming from 23 countries.
The concrete outputs of the project are the production of short movies (screenings and
DVD compilation), printed and online magazines about European cinema's cultural
diversity and a guideline document of best practises for audiovisual youth organisations.
The results of the projects will be disseminated across the network of NISI MASA,
thanks to the DVDs, magazines, electronic guidelines document, press releases and our
website. Screenings will be organised in many countries which will present the results of
the filmmaking activities.
Thanks to the activities, the partner organisations will learn about organisational
development and thus they will be able to develop new audiovisual projects for young
people. They will enrich the participants thanks to cultural exchanges and widen their
personal horizons. The project will also strengthen a youth network and therefore the
local organisations. Moreover the project will not only benefit to the participants but also
to the general audience of the films and the magazines, the local communities involved
in each activities and the web audience: more than 5000 people.

TITLE: Let's meet in Gemona - In dialogUE we trust
DESCRIPTION: The project presented has reached its tenth edition. Every year the host country - for
this edition, the Municipality of Gemona del Friuli (IT) offers to approximately 160
teenagers (aged 13-17) the opportunity to present itself through workshops in history,
tradition, sports, group games. Key issues include the promotion of dialogue between
different cultures through work groups, the possibility to show to teenagers how they
can live in a multicultural environment that simulates the European society of tomorrow,
the desire to show Italian culture devoid of prejudice, the willingness to create a
'friendship' that continues also after the meeting, not only among youth people but also
among the participating cities, which are twinned with each other.
As regards methodology, the laboratories will be organized (sometimes in the
classrooms, but more often outdoor, wandering in the city of Gemona but also in the
Friuli Venezia Giulia Region), where the teenagers will be divided in groups (but not by
nationality, to allow the use of English and to foster mutual understanding), where an
introduction and an explanation of the different type of laboratory will follow a part of
group activities, where youth people work together to achieve a common goal. In order
to become familiar with the area, an ad hoc path will be created, so to create a team
spirit by offering various activities such as treasure hunts. Then, the possibility will exist
to meet the regional councillor competent for youth policies, so they can see the
different projects in which the region is involved.
During the final evening of the meeting, each country presents a feature or a history of
its nation, through a video, a song, a poem, a scene and so on. Teenagers will become
familiar with each other through music or sport, as the motto of the city "Gemona city of
sports and well-being" promotes. All activities will be conducted in English. Given the
geographical position of the region, however, is not excluded that, especially during
knowledge, students can talk to each other in German.
This meeting aims to foster the EU's motto "United in diversity" in order to help youth
people to form a dual citizenship (national and European).

DESCRIPTION: The project proposal aims to reinforce the European dimension in the practice of youth
work and of youth policy making in the region of the South Moravia (CZ) and in the
adjacent regions of the neighbouring countries (SK, AT).
Further objectives of the project include strengthening the synergies between the
European, national and regional implementation of the Youth in Action Programme
which is seen as model example relevant for the development of regional youth policies,
increasing the capacities of regional organisations for youth work in European context,
reinforcing the networking of public bodies and the NGOs across the state borders and
creating more opportunities for the development of young people and youth workers in
the targeted regions.
The proposal intends to directly involve more than 250 young people, youth workers and
decision makers in 32 activities, such as youth exchanges and youth initiatives,
European Voluntary Service, training events or monitoring and evaluation meetings. A
special emphasis is given to the inclusion of young people from underdeveloped rural
areas of the border districts, as well as of Roma youth and of handicapped young
people.
Moreover, a strong focus is given to the transfer of the project results and achievements
to the area of regional youth policy. For this purpose, the implementation of the project
activities will be monitored on ongoing basis and the monitoring outcomes as well as the
data gathered within it evaluation will feed into the regional strategy planning and
decision making processes. Finally, a publication summarising the monitoring and
evaluation outcomes and formulating concrete recommendations to the decision makers
will be produced and disseminated to relevant stakeholders.
The project is based on a strong partnership involving the Jihomoravský kraj (Region of
South Moravia) as the applicant, and the Lužánky Leisure Centre and 8 other local and
regional organisations active in international youth work as associated partners. The
National Institute of Children and Youth complements this partnership as an expert
institution on the development of youth work and youth policies.

TITLE: L4WB: Learning for Well-being European youth movement
DESCRIPTION: The project is a partnership of ten organisations or groups, 7 at European level and 3
national level, set up to achieve something concrete and long term that needs to use
interaction with policy makers in order to achieve its objectives. EPTO (European Peer
Training Organisation) and partners want youth, who are identified as the more
vulnerable group in society by the EU Youth Strategy 2010-2018, to transform that
vulnerability by learning how to develop their unique and full potential, through becoming
aware of what they need to experience well-being. By dialoguing with their peers and
developing a language to express themselves that will make the adult population want
to partner with them, this project will contribute to creating systemic changes towards
social inclusion and promotion of learning for well-being in all sectors and disciplines.
We define well-being as "realizing our unique potential through the development of our
mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects in relation to self, other and the
environment".
To promote the concept of L4WB and to foster a L4WB Youth Movement and
partnership, we have identified the following key objectives:
• organise opportunities for interaction & communication between youth & policy
makers;
• build a network of youth organisations in Europe, through a L4WB vision;
• share & develop capacity building & resources that promote L4WB in a way that
respects individual learning processes and the diversity of youth, through non-
formal learning.

Within the context of the Youth Initiatives, local regional and national call, this project
has been designed by a group of young people who are part of the Young Advisors
group in Sheffield. The objectives of the project have included the Young advisors and
potential participants in design. The Young Advisors will undertake training and
development to deliver a range of peer education and mentoring courses with
vulnerable young people. This approach will be extended regionally and nationally
working with groups of Young Advisors.
The activities foreseen throughout the project:
The lead Young Advisors will work with young people - individually and in groups to
identify key issues they would like to explore through peer learning and mentoring.
Methods will be based on engaging them in workshops to promote learning by doing,
through small group work, discussions, confidence building, team exercises, and
sharing experiences.
Organising and co-ordinating the activities and sharing tasks:
A Project team will be established at the outset including relevant staff from Sheffield
City Council, Sheffield Futures and the Young Advisors.

Sheffield City Council and the Co-ordinating Partner, Sheffield Futures, the main
provider of youth services within the city.
Measures to Disseminate:
A key deliverable of the project will be to disseminate the outcomes of the project at a
local level, regionally and nationally through the national network of Young Advisors
Impact Envisaged:
As a result in delivering the project they have designed, the young people will gain
formal qualifications and a wide range of experience as young volunteers.

TITLE: News of Young
DESCRIPTION: The project envisages the creation of an online newspaper produced by young people
for young people, aims to contribute to active citizenship of young people and those with
an interest of youth. Several themes will be addressed (local politics, environment,
volunteering, and community development) in order to involve more young people to
participate actively in public life.
The tangible results include the possibility for young people to express their ideas,
compare with those of other actors of civil society but also to promote, through this
initiative, their skills, their creativity, their talents, their spirit of initiative, their ability to
affect in a positive and innovative on the regional economic system.
The youth of today show indifference towards participation in public life, particularly in
Basilicata, show a widespread sense of powerlessness and exclusion, together with a
lack of confidence in the existing institutional arrangements and decision making. Many
would like to participate in social and economic life of their own territories but did not find
the means. The emigration of young people from the region, the search for a culturally
stimulating environment where they can actually implement their individual and
collective creativity, unemployment, lack of clear and accessible information to all, are
the motivations of this project, pushing to encourage young people with an online
newspaper to express their ideas, their proposals, their initiatives.
The project aims to create a communication tool for anyone working in the field, to
provide support for the sharing of best practices and results achieved by local
authorities and associations in the promotion and implementation of youth policies, to
create a structure able to interconnect all communication and information services for
young people.
The project provides a web portal for online newspaper in Italian, English and Spanish
with the opportunity to participate in "distance" in thematic forums and chat discussion.
The project will be presented on social networks to create a group discussion on key
youth issues. The project will contribute to active citizenship of young people and those
interested in the world of youth: the issues tackled will be different in order to encourage
more young people to participate actively in public life. The initiative, created by young
people, provide an opportunity for dialogue and exchange experiences, information to
promote study, work, travel in Europe, and will highlight links to schools, universities,
jobs, internships, volunteer work camps. It will be a local element of cohesion and
integration.
Activities:
• Constitution of an editorial staff
• Staff training
• Gathering of information
• Realization of the Internet portal

TITLE: Europe for Youth- Partnership for Development: More opportunities for young
people and social work in Eastern Europe
DESCRIPTION: The "Europe for Youth - Partnership for Development" project is part of a long-term
effort to improve youth worker's capabilities and opportunities in Central Eastern
Europe, through their involvement into the sustainable network of Y.E.S. Forum. With
this project we intend to
• increase participants' knowledge and awareness about European non-formal
youth activities, in particular about the Youth in Action Program
• develop essential competences in trans-national cooperation for youth workers
(e.g. Importance of partnership, project design, communication, evaluation,
follow up etc)
• increase participants' motivation and competences to engage in intercultural
environment at European level
• create and develop new project ideas within the Youth in Action programme
Due to the nature of the objectives, the activity plan includes both events and
continuous services toward participants. Schedule of events:
• Kick-off meeting of organizers (Y.E.S. Forum and ANHSH) and associated
partners, May 2011, Manchester (UK)
• Training course on partnership and project development, July 2011, Budapest
(HU)
• Mid-term evaluation meeting of project coordinators and further planning,
October 2011, Berlin (DE)
• EU funding and project development seminar, November2011, Resita (RO)
• Final evaluation meeting of project coordinators, June 2012, Berlin(DE)
Altogether 94 participants attend the events to learn from each other on the topic of non-
formal learning as a tool in youth work.
The project will foster cooperation between the participants, and due to the structured
programme eventually a sustainable network will be created. Participants' common work
on joint projects, their reinforced knowledge and personal development leads to a long
lasting network including organizations and social professionals from both new and old
EU members.
Dissemination will be done through on-line facilities and leaflets.
As the direct consequence of the project, the transferred know-how and competences
indirectly affects the life of roughly 3-4000 young people across Central-Eastern Europe,

TITLE: Inclusão Social atraves da Arte
DESCRIPTION: The project will have three phases.
One seminar, one Youth Exchange and a Youth Initiative Seminar
1. Seminar
The project will focus on improving the quality of non-formal training by exploring new
creative methods, to better address the needs of young people. During the 7-day
programme, participants will exchange the existing good practices, learn new innovative
approaches and plan follow-up activities within their national realities and internationally.
On the basis of skills and knowledge gained, participants will also develop their own
training sessions, which will be delivered to a larger group of trainees at the end of the
activity. As key multipliers both in their countries and at European level, they will pass
knowledge onto their peers. The outcomes of the project will thus benefit a great
number of young Europeans involved and participating in intercultural exchange.
2. Youth Exchange
The project is a Multilateral Exchange which the two main themes are Inclusion through
Arts and Environment. The objectives are to contribute to the acknowledgment and
awareness of the importance of inclusion, arts and environment in the youngsters'
education.
It will take place in São Miguel Island - Azores during eight days with the participation of
twenty youngsters and five leaders from different countries. Besides artistic activities will
allow the youngsters to be aware of their body, to increase their cooperation, team spirit,
sportsmanship and by overcoming barriers of physical or emotional types, the youths
can develop a differentiated sense of self-insurance.
3. National Youth Initiative
The Music I Can uses music, universal language par excellence, particularly through the
creation of bands and DJs to perform with young people at risk and / or in situations of
social and cultural exclusion. The main objective is to provide such a young area of non
formal learning where they can be addressed and worked on skills and musical skills/
cultural/ personal/ social as well as those that promote integration and awareness of
national and European citizenship, active and participatory. It is also intended that this
project is a way to give young people the opportunity to become actors in their own
process of change and integration, as well as agents of change from their peers, based
on the principles of equality, cultural diversity, equity, entrepreneurship and tolerance.
