The Treaty on European Union (known as The Maastricht Treaty) established the institution of Union citizenship by stating that ‘every person holding the nationality of a Member State is a citizen of the Union’. This was amongst the first ever written affirmations that there is European Citizenship, and similar to national citizenship, there are certain responsibilities with being an active citizen. At its' roots the EU has always been about increasing cooperation and creating a solid continent, through particular practices, whereby the principle of democracy is even specified in the Lisbon Treaty. In fact even in Malta, the government published the National Youth Policy(*1), which promotes more active participation especially at a European level. Nowadays we are noticing that in Malta and even countries abroad there is a lot of apathy, whereby youths are taking a step back, feeling helpless. Therefore we took initiative to organise this training course, which will take place in Malta in the moderate weather of September, whereby youth leaders and trainers from 8 different countries will get together to collaborate and share their experience on the importance of democratic values in the European Union. They will later go back home and deliver such with their youth target groups back home. The mixture of partners is quite a diverse one where we have many Mediterranean and Central European Partners, the established EU members of Italy and Greece and one of the most recent arrivals of Romania. There are a number of Eastern European Countries as well as the pre-accession country of Turkey. Each of the partners from these countries tackles different youth groups with which they aim to share and instill the right EU values. The 1 week programme will consist of a series of non-formal education activities and workshops and will give the partners' the opportunity to share their work and their cultures (and sub-cultures). There will be an opportunity to meet and mix with the Maltese community and to learn a bit about our culture and view a small part of the activities taking place in Valletta Capital of Culture 2018. During the final stages of the main activity we will be working on dissemination. A dissemination booklet and a video are being planned for our grand finale. We hope that the youth leaders and trainers will leave Malta with a new set of tools, an energy to continue working with their target groups and a list of good practices they can use back home with their target groups.
