Future Narratives is a strategic partnership supporting innovation in the field of youth. It is addressed to youth workers and to young people aged 18-30 years old, particularly those from migrant or disadvantaged backgrounds. The general objectives of the project are: to support capacity building for the youth workers; to promote the importance of young people's awareness in common values, civic engagement and participation, fostering their empowerment; to promote dialogue, mutual understanding and cooperation between young European people.The project will last 24 months and will reach these general objectives introducing youth workers and young people to the concept of “Futures Literacy”. The concept of Futures Literacy has been developed since 2012 by the UNESCO, seeking to understand “the frames people use to understand tomorrow.” The project will use storytelling as the key heuristic to activate the capacity to reflect on the past, the present and the future and to recognise different approaches to them and their interpretation, thus fostering the understanding of the power of culture, stories and visions in enabling a better future. This understanding will give participants not only the tools to work on a vision for themselves and for their community, but will also develop key competences such as cultural understanding, critical thinking, social media literacy, communication and active participation in civic and social life.The partnership is composed of Traces&Dreams, as Applicant and the young adults training center Möjligheternas Plats, from Sweden; Andalucia Agoce, Federation for the promotion of integration and interculturality, from Spain; Inter Alia, not-for-profit organisation in the field of education and youth, from Greece; Machart, youth training center, from Germany; Euro Project Lab, a company for European Project Management from Italy.Future Narratives is therefore the result of the collaboration between Traces&Dreams, expert in the development of paths and contents oriented towards the promotion of digital literacy, narratives and storytelling, and European organizations that work closely with young people who often find themselves in disadvantaged conditions, caused by structural inequalities, stereotypes, lack of inclusion, fewer opportunities.The specific objectives of the project can be identified as follows:•To provide youth workers with tools aimed at promoting young people’s key competences and active participation to civic and social life thanks to Futures Literacy;•To enhance young people's key competences, with a particular focus on literacy; personal, social and learning to learn; digital; citizenship; cultural Cultural awareness and expression;•To engage, connect, empower young people thanks to Futures Literacy, enabling their voice and their vision to reach out policy-makers, public administrations, civil society and other young people all over Europe.The specific objectives thus identified will be achieved through the following activities:1)A Short-term joint staff training event (C1) for youth workers, engaging all partner organisation. The training will enable project partners to commonly identify the needs of the young participants of the project and to exchange their experience and approaches;2)The realisation of European Guidelines for the innovative use of narrative and storytelling in the empowerment of young people (IO1). This Intellectual Output will allow dialogue between partner organisations and experts in the fields of narrative, storytelling, and Futures Literacy in order to systematize the tools and the methodological approach of Future Narratives. This methodological framework will then be modelled into Guidelines transferable at European level;3)A Digital Platform (IO2), which will: 1) collect and disseminate the project results and digital contents throughout the project, 2) enable an interdisciplinary and intercultural approach to Future storytelling, 3) connect and reach out young people all over Europe;4)The experimentation of Future Narratives approach with young people through: 1) Future Narratives informal innovative pathways (IO3); 2) a series of Transnational Workshops in Spain, Greece, Germany and Sweden addressed to young participants (C2-C5).5)The dissemination of the project through several Multiplier Events (E1-E3) and a final, highly transferable, Multiplier Event (E4) intended as a Future Narrative Exhibition online and offline (in Sweden). 6)The monitoring and evaluation of project’s results.Thanks to these activities the project ultimately aims to reach young people and youth organisations across Europe in order promote the importance of giving visibility to youth aspirations, desires and visions for the future, thus enhancing young people’s participation and engagement in shaping the Europe of tomorrow.
