Becas Erasmus+ para curso de formación en Sassari del 12 al 18 enero 2015

Social inclusion in Public spaces and Active Citizenship through non formal Education (SPACE) is a project aimed at bringing together youth workers and representants of local bodies from Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Romania, Norway, Sweden, Denmark in order to discuss about urban issues, mostly those affecting young people. Mine Vaganti NGO submitted the application on the March 24th deadline of the Erasmus+ programme and the project was accepted by the Italian National Agency. Thanks to the grant, the event will take place in Sassari (150.000 inhabitants), the capital of North Sardinia, from 12 (Monday) to 18 (Saturday) January 2015 and it will host 16 participants.

The city of Sassari is an ideal setting to cope with the topics that will be analyzed during the project, since it has met a range of social problems linked to its unbalanced urban development. The participants will work on four main thematic areas:

1. risk of social marginalisation and exclusion in urban environments;

2. opportunities for the cultural and economic rivitalisation of the old town through art, sport, food and culture;

3. sustainability and public transports;

4. active citizenship and cooperation of young people with the decision makers in order to propose solutions to the urban challenges.

The main objectives of the project are:

• to promote the creation of a network of international associations to reflect about urban challenges and the related problems of social exclusion;

• to explore new ways and share best practices from different cultural contexts to encourage active citizenship among young people in their urban environments;

• to exchange and propose innovative ideas (in the cultural, environmental, enterpreneural, artisitic sectors) that will help rivitalise the city center involving young people.

ACTIVITIES AND METHODS

The activities will be coordinated through non formal education methods (group works, video productions, role play games, brainstorming, etc) and will include also visits to the local cultural associations in the city centre, participation to sport events, meetings with the students of the sociology course at university, exchanges with local administrators and members of local associations. Some activities will take place outdoor, to promote Erasmus plus and non-formal education and raise awareness on urban problems among the local community.

During the last days of the project, partecipants will have the chance to create working groups, to present ideas for future projects on urban issues, sustainability, promotion of young people participation in their local community.

The Venue

Sassari in an old city in the north west of Sardinia island, with around 150.000 inhabitants. Its old town is one of the biggest in Italy, but unfortunately its potential is not fully explored. The local university counts 10.000 students. Sassari is proud of its many squares, the pictoresque Cathedral, the local food, music and dialect and the succesful basketball team. High youth unemployment, geographical disadvantage and lack of job perspectives and cultural activities are among the most urgent social issues. Intercultural project like SPACE can be instrumental in bringing innovative ideas from abroad in order to inspire young people and institutions to take action and solve the local problems.

The sessions are going to be held at the Santa Caterina Youth Center in Sassari,
