Outre-Mer

Proposal: Les Ambassadeurs de la citoyenneté et de la mobilité européennes dans les Régions ultrapériphériques de l’Union européenne

Implementation: 2020 to 2023

Call:  Erasmus+ Youth Key Action 2 – KA205 – Strategic partnership for youth

Type of Action: Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices

Proposed Budget: 210 754,00€

Keywords: outermost regions

Objective: At the last European elections in May 2019, turnout was particularly low in the outermost regions of the European Union. The European Union seems very distant for citizens living in the outermost regions of the European Union. To combat this feeling of remoteness and to encourage the outermost regions to make their European citizenship their own, the project is going to create a network of ambassadors for European citizenship and mobility in the outermost regions of the European Union.

The project wants to develop educational activities in the outermost regions of the European Union for those who are furthest removed from European citizenship. The project wishes to develop educational interventions for a larger scale young public in the outermost regions of the European Union. To do this, we want to train youth workers and youth organisations to create a genuine network of ambassadors of European citizenship and mobility capable of carrying out educational activities in the outermost regions of the European Union.

The pedagogical interventions will be aimed primarily at a young public from 6 to 25 years old, using playful and participatory non-formal education methods. The aim of these interventions will be to familiarise young people with the workings of the EU, to make them aware of their European citizenship, the rights linked to it and the opportunities for international mobility it offers them.

In parallel to these pedagogical interventions directly aimed at a young audience, we will also carry out training of trainers for youth workers and workers in the fields of education, training and youth. These training of trainers will allow the increase in skills of the animators and teachers by appropriating new methods and pedagogical tools so that they will be able to raise awareness of the target public.
