Host Organisation: Mostar Friedensprojekt e.V.ar Countries Participating: Germany, Bosnia and Herzegovina, UK, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, FYROM, Poland, Portugal, Kosovo, Serbia, Spain, Turkey Sending Organisation: Malta UNESCO Youth Association Project Description: The radicalization of young people is (again) on the rise throughout the spectrum - left, right or religious. Youth work plays an important role, as the radicalization of many young people could be successfully prevented, if youth worker could better differentiate motivations and mechanisms in the process of extremism. With this project we also want to give a valuable input on the current problems in many European countries when it comes to the successful integration of refugees as well as the further integration of second or third generation migrants. The project will directly bring the issues of migrants on the agenda, as these are the issues we will face when talking about right wing extremism and Islamism in a European perspective. We will equip the participants with competences that will help in the social dialogue that they need to get involved in when doing youth work. This project will support the cooperation between the partners on the chosen topics. This should help the participants, which will be youth workers, group leaders and other people working with youth to get a set of competences to prevent the radicalization of young people in their closest environment. As this is a training course the participants will acquire different new knowledge, skills and attitudes. The participants will broaden their knowledge about terrorism, roots and foundations for extremism, get to know different prevention attempts by youth work in Germany and also work on their own skill set to become a preventer in youth work.

The project “LEADER” aims to enhance natural resources through: sustainable environmental management and development of rural areas. This project will also follow the creation of a historical consciousness of rural areas, in a logic participation of European integration by bringing together many young people from different countries and cultures to confront this issue, always focusing on enhancing their personal and professional skills in acquisition of transversal skills for personal development and subsequent integration in the labor market. The future of rural areas is a current concern and transcends national borders. The project stems from several discussions in several EU institutions which were put into action since 1991. In this period, the LEADER program was created for the promotion and development of rural areas, based on a territorial approach to rural development through the application of decentralized procedures, both relation to decision-making and in financial management. It is intended that the activities during this project occur in rural areas, contributing to the effective development of youth activities and to improve the organization of civil society capacity and the immediate the local community in the participants’ own countries.

Organizations from all sectors could build the bridges, required to support community participation, active citizenship and build social capital. The working methods include practical workshops on the basics of creating short movies, writing a script, filming on location, acting, editing materials etc. Also, the working methods include many non-formal learning activities for more in-depth grasping of the problem of social inclusion.

Project Description: The idea came about due to the fact that obesity rates are by far a concern in these countries, as stated by Eurostat news release 203/2016, including a 26% obesity rate in Malta, the largest of the European Union. Furthermore, non EU-members such as Turkey and Georgia, show even higher rates of obesity. The participating network of organizations has aims to develop skills and knowledge of participants, raise awareness and give them a chance to discuss issues that really affect them throughout their current lifestyles, and therefore might create illusionary walls in achieving the scope of this project. Therefore, we intend to find ways to overcome these walls.
