<< Objectives >>Eco Path is a project based on young people’s needs. It is a result of online youth exchanges that have been made since June 2020 and have shown positive results. The main aim of Eco Path is:-Raising awareness among young people of the importance of changing everyday habits into a more sustainable and ecofriendly way,-Empowering young people to take initiative and become proactive towards raising awareness about the importance of eco-lifestyle in their local communities will boost their self-esteem, -To develop competencies of young participants on personal and professional that will put them on the higher level of the labor market,-To bring this pilot projects mentioned above in an offline mode and on the regional level which will bring the development of the WB6 region and strengthen regional cooperation.More specifically, objectives are: -Developing social, individual, and civic competence among young people. Young people should develop and improve their sense of social responsibility in order to become active citizens at the local, national, and regional levels.-Developing cultural awareness and tolerance. To increase awareness of own cultural context and the cultural context of others and prevent racism, xenophobia, and related intolerance amongst youth.This project will create an opportunity to gather 6 group leaders, 24 young persons, and a facilitator from WB6 countries to exchange experiences and knowledge on the topic of how to live more sustainably in everyday life and to empower each other to take small steps towards active citizenship and eco-activism.<< Implementation >>“Eco Path” is mobility for young people project that will gather 24 participants plus 6 group leaders plus 1 facilitator coming from 6 organizations from 6 Western Balkan countries (Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Albania, North Macedonia ). The profile of the participant will be the following:• Facing disadvantaged backgrounds and fewer opportunities such as economic obstacles (low income or facing unemployment), educational difficulties (learning difficulties, poor school performance, early school- leavers), geographical obstacles (people from remote or rural areas), social obstacles (young people at risk of radicalization) and therefore at risk of marginalization, cultural obstacles.• Lacking competencies and knowledge to actively engage in the societyThe project is open to all those interested in joining regardless of their gender, race, religion, ability, political views, etc. as long as they demonstrate the necessary motivation and will commit to participate in the full cycle of the project. Participants should be motivated to learn from others and share their own experiences. Participants will be actively involved in each phase of the project, from its preparation to the evaluation and follow-up. The “Eco Path” Youth Exchange will be realized in Djuriselo, Serbia from 1st to 8th of April 2023 (travel days excluded). The planned activities and working methods have been selected with the support of the facilitator Sanja Kamberovic from Serbia, according to the principles of non formal learning. Therefore they are highly participative, cooperative and rather self-reflective. Each of the activities foreseen in the project will be divided into 3 stages: preparation, implementation and evaluation. Partners will have an active role through all stages of the mobility by supporting their participants, arranging the practical aspects with the coordination team and keeping informed about the process and the learning outcomes of the sessions.<< Results >>Blogs/vlogs/pictures/videos about the project will be considered as tangible results. Besides that, we expect to have dissemination activities such as events where participants will raise awareness about the necessity of changing everyday habits in a more sustainable way in their local communities and to have them as well. During the Youth Exchange coordination team will take everyday photos/videos and share them on social media of Vega and partners will be tagged as well and invited to share the posts. In the promoting and dissemination materials (videos and photos) we will include the logo of Erasmus+ for dissemination, logos of partners, and the Vega YC logo. New gained competencies of the participants and group leaders will be considered as intangible results. These results will create more active youngsters motivated to get involved in the activities of the organization, volunteering, taking initiative, and raising awareness about the need of changing everyday habits in a more sustainable way will be intangible results for the partners.Expected impact of participantsThe project would benefit the young participants on a personal and professional level. -They would learn how to achieve the goals they set for themselves -Become more motivated to take initiative towards the goals they set for themselves-They would boost their self-esteem-Become more aware of the climate change effects, necessity, and importance of changing everyday habits in a more sustainable way-They would learn different ways of living in a more ecofriendly way.-They would develop skills that could put them on a higher level in the labor marketThe expected impact of the participating organizations:1.Organisations would expand the network of reliable partners which are focused on the topics of entrepreneurship, environment protection, and youth 2.This project would provide the opportunity for creating a WB6 network of organisations that are working with youth and fighting climate change and protecting the environment 3.Group leaders of the organisations would expand their competencies through the exchange of good practices which would benefit organisations to have more competent group leaders/youth workers4.Organisations would expand their activities through supporting participants of the project to create and implement dissemination events in the local community5.They would expand the network of young people interested in Erasmus+ projects and environment protection6.They would gain more experience related to creating and developing an entrepreneurial mindset that they can use in their work7.They could expand the number of people interested in volunteering and activismOur project aims to create an impact on a local, national and regional levels through the participants, group leaders, partner organizations, and follow-up activities.

Across the world, more than one billion people – or 15% of the world’s population – live with disabilities. They face significant barriers to realising their human rights, including discrimination in education, employment, housing and transport; denial of the right to vote; and being stripped of the right to make decisions about their own lives, including their reproductive choices etc. Individuals with physical, sensory, intellectual and mental disabilities often face increased violence in all levels of societies they live. The protection guaranteed in other human rights treaties, and grounded in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, should apply to all. Persons with disabilities have, however, remained largely ‘invisible’, often side-lined in the rights debate and unable to enjoy the full range of human rights.Main aim of this project was to increase our capacities in the field of human rights protection and advocacy of young people with disabilities (YPWDs), moreover to create the unique online platform in Europe which gathers all youth workers (as well trainers, educators..) working/or interested in working with YPWDs. This platform aim to serve as online space for: exchange of tools, methods and best practice useful when working with mixed abilities groups, as well this is the online space where we created pool of trainers experienced in working with YPWDs. Ideas for this project were based on three years experience of the project consortium, through which consortium had chance to build capacities, learn and grow together. First project implemented together was based on increasing skills and knowledge of youth workers on how to work with mixed abilities groups. During the realisation of project activities it was noticed a great lack of tools and methods while working with mixed abilities groups, so, the second project focus was on rising youth workers capacities in theatre methodology and contemporary dance techniques adapted to work with YPWDs. During this project we created online manual, with an aim to make this methodology accessibly to all youth workers. More details of consortium work and project results please find on Erasmus+ Project Results Platform.While working together consortium recognised that more has to be done in terms of the protection and advocacy of YPWD rights. In this regard we decided to have partnership building activity (PBA) where we discussed more about what we do on local level, how we promote/advocate HR, which method and tools we use, etc. This activity provided us a chance to come together and do partnership building of our informal network, as well we used this seminar to talk about cross sector cooperation’s, since while working with YPWD we have to closely cooperate with public schools and institutions. Then we did training for youth workers on building their professional capacities on how to be better advocates YPWD human rights. The last project activity was Evaluation Meeting where we evaluated all our work in last year’s, this meeting we also used for deciding on how the online platform will look like, for sharing task and responsibilities in order to made this tool sustainable.

"A number of participants: 44 participants (including 9 leaders and 21 participants with fewer opportunities) from 7 countries. Profile of participants: Young people with interest of enriching their knowledge and values. Methodology: Energizers, group dynamics, conflict management activities, the tasks activating the process of cooperation that brings the exchange of ideas, development of the ability to learn, negotiation skills, improvisation and power to face and deal with the problems. Each segment of activities leads the individual participant to self-expression and to the attitude that ''my opinion has a power and value"". Furthermore, couple activities bring the enhancement of tolerance and realization that ""in two we can reach more"". It is part of the small group activities to communicate and also to listen. The big group activities lead participants for partnership and development of organizational skills. Context and objectives: This project was created with regard to the critical context of Europe in last year in connection with young people, and their need to directly help (but do not know if it is possible) and their desire to actively contribute (but do not know how). Mobility aims to teach young people in a non-formal way the skills that in combination with ART as a tool/method in specific inter-cultural and inter-religion environments develops and support several layers in knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The project reached the participants' with variable backgrounds (including those coming from weaker economic, social, or cultural backgrounds) that together taught each other in couples, smaller teams or big team the capacities for further professional work and social intelligence. By this and the project structure, the whole program led participants to understand how to perceive diversity as a positive asset of every community. The project, directly and indirectly, eliminates the growing violence above radical young people against diversities. For the involved parties as are local institutions, communities, associations and international partnerships the project developed, taught and disseminated the methodology that combines art, specific environment, a mixed group of ethnic and personal backgrounds with the aim to enrich tolerance and respect to human freedom. This was also riched through the topics that all the art products combined as are war, migration, discrimination, tolerance etc. All products of art (photography, animation, comics, and video) were tide with multimedia art and directly initiated a media production of young people that enhanced media and developed their critical thinking and also through sharing via online platforms also the critical thinking of target groups (on national and international level).The project developed directly the competencies in Audio-visual medias, and strongly developed and supported awareness of socially relevant topics and themes with European Values (the values of multi-ethnic and multi-religion communities). Last but not least is that projects group is formed with variables by itself and participants will discover not just local but many different cultures and that aims to strength values of solidarity, democracy, and international friendships above them, but including local people.ve them, but including local people."

"This project is proposed by a group of young animators of Jeunesse et Reconstruction and it aims to raise awareness among young Europeans about the urgent need to take a stand and make hear their voice in defense of the European Union. We wonder: why in recent times it rings out so strongly the voice of Eurosceptics and, on the contrary, it is so hard to hear the voice of the approximately 2.5mln young people that - since their creation - have profited and continue to benefit from EU Programs that means opportunities of international mobility, training, learning and work offered by the European Union? It 's time to fight back, to give back in some way something to Europe that so far has given so much to the younger generation. It 'time to defend the spirit, ideas and principles which have inspired its creation and its progressive structuring, but it is also time to understand the many tasks that the EU fulfills and the many functions that it performs, all things that very often European citizens (especially young people) ignore. As young people who have largely taken advantage of European opportunities (university exchanges, EVS, international youth exchanges, training based on non-formal education, etc.) we are aware about the lack of information and knowledge (Europe always struggles to tell and make understand what it is and what it does) and the distance that exists between the EU and its citizens. To motivate this project is the belief that animation, non-formal education methods, can be very effective in conveying an image of Europe as a value to be defended, with related information and knowledge that can be so valuable for the younger generation. This is why we have brought together a highly qualified partnership highly experienced in European issues, but also in interactive/participatory educational activities. This project is for sure a good opportunity to reflect on the delicated moment Europe is living, but also to initiate a process of mutual learning and exchange of good practices, ideas, methods and creation of tools related to what we might call ""Educating to Europe."" Participants must arrive to Etoile sur rhone with a plan of actions to be implemented in their territory (information sessions, training interventions, educational initiatives and campaigns, etc.) and come back home with a set of tools, examples and useful methods to implement activities designed during the seminar. In total, participants will be 24 , 2 or 3 for each organization, from 9 countries. About their profile, the condition is that at least one has to be an experienced animator, educator, youth/social worker (but also a teacher interested in the topic), while the other (or others) has to be a young person interested in the subject (it would be suitable a young European Federalist) and ready to take on a multiplier role in their own context."
