This project aims to empower youngsters with skills and knowledge in active citizenship and participation, standing up for diversity and justice. 

We have shared knowledge on how to create sustainable and happy communities, how to live a healthier lifestyle more in sync with nature, and how we can extrapolate that into society in general. We provided training and inspiration on how together we can create a positive impact in our society. We have shared with the participants' visions and solutions to our world's problems, and provided them the tools to implement these solutions. Through different activities and games, we promoted values of inclusiveness, solidarity, democracy, friendship, etc. Through the medium of study circles, workshops, sharing sessions, cooperative games, and other activities, we gave them the opportunity to have hands-on experience on the very important notions of teamwork, leadership, proper planning, and concrete execution.
The YE circled around the topics of local and community development, team and capacity building, seen from a sustainability viewpoint, and healthier, more conscious lifestyles. Indirectly, we wanted to inspire participants to use critical and rational thinking when encountered with viewpoints different than their own. We face serious problems of violence and oppression, financial inequality, resources and environmental crisis, and an economic situation that does not promote a secure and prosperous future.
The participants took a cross-cultural look at these intergenerational justice issues, contemplated ways of building a more sustainable culture and what can be done in our everyday lives - both individually and collectively, across cultures - to discover together healthy ways to create a better society. The activities took place in an abandoned hamlet now getting back to life, and thus creating awareness about the problems of depopulation in rural areas and contributing to a revival of interest in living in rural communities, showcasing practical tools on how to do create invigorating transformation even in the most decaying areas. Objectives:

The biggest challenges society is facing nowadays are connected with not knowing how to act, in an increasingly changing, uncertain world. This translates to an increasingly volatile world, where misinformation and lack of perceived power can rapidly influence hearts and create adverse social dynamics that affect society as a whole. We shared learnings we have come across, on how to live in a world free of hatred, discrimination, where citizens exert their due part in the democratic process and, through lawful means, create positive change.
