Young Pilgrims of Hope

<< Objectives >>A better understanding of active citizenship and its impact on youth work through cultural heritage, solidarity, environment. Fostering civic engagement, participation and a sense of initiative in young people, encouraging them to share ideas and good practices to work together. Reflecting on the knowledge, experience and good practices from each location/cultural route/activity. Inspiring all partner organisations with new challenges to strengthen their capacities and networking potential.<< Implementation >>3 seminars will be implemented along 3 Council of Europe Cultural Routes (Camino de Santiago, Via Francigena and Romea Strata in Spain, France, and Austria respectively), on 3 different topics: intercultural and interreligious dialogue; inclusion and diversity; environment and fight against climate change. 1 final seminar will be in Rome, Italy, where all 3 routes end: here all participants will share their experiences. Supporting online activities are planned before and after each seminar.<< Results >>To be able to strengthen the European dimension youth work has to offer, to reach more young people through quality projects, to have a strong impact on civic engagement and participation of young people in democratic life, also through recognition of competencies gained during the experience, mentoring and general support during all the stages of the project. We aim to gather these quality standards in the form of guide book, travel kit, videos and other media content to share.
