Active citizens are people who care about their local communities and the places they live in. Many people feel a sense of commitment to their neighborhood and are actively involved in activities to improve the quality of life there, thus being an active citizen for their community. And the more citizens feel that they are able to contribute to their public spaces, the more vibrant their communities will be. As the idea of Placemaking is not yet so widely spread among young people and their communities, the organizers decided that they will need to develop skills and knowledge on Placemaking generally and especially on Creative Placemaking, which is directly connected with the concept of active citizenship and social inclusion. Placemaking inspires people to collectively reimagine and reinvent public spaces as the heart of every community. Placemaking is a collaborative process by which people shape their public realm together and it is fundamentally about inclusion and shared community ownership. An effective Placemaking results in the creation of quality public spaces that contribute to people’s health, happiness, well being and how it makes the people who use it feel about themselves. But if there is no active citizenship, there will be no Placemaking, as active participation of citizens is always in need for new initiatives. Creative placemaking is a powerful idea that can increase civic engagement of young people in the community life and thus bring changes, redefine public spaces and contribute to the development of healthy sustainable communities. Objectives of the Youth Exchange are: -to empower young people to be active citizens, to develop a sense of European citizenship and identity -to bring the idea of Placemaking to young people -to promote Creative Placemaking -to encourage creative and critical thinking among young people, to empower sense of initiative -to encourage involvement of young people in decision making processes that affect them directly and indirectly -to raise awareness on importance of Placemaking in community designing process -to improve leadership skills of young people -to support the active participation of young people with fewer opportunities -to develop intercultural dialogue This YE is designed for young people, youth workers, who are really interested in active citizenship and want to improve their community and the environment they live in by being active citizens.and networking between EU and Neighboring countries Participants for youth exchange project were young people from age 18 to 30, except the group leaders who had no age limit restrictions.
