PRESS RELEASE FOR A YOUTH EXCHANGE PROGRAM “OLYMPIC SPIRIT FOR PEACE BUILDING – OLYMPISM” IN ATHENS, GREECE

Celebrating our shared heritage: Olympic Spirit for Peacebuilding («OLYMPISM»)

The project «Olympic Spirit for Peacebuilding-O Ολυμπιςμόσ για την Eδραίωςη τησ Eιρήνησ (OLYMPISM)» was a transnational initiative organized and coordinated by ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND SOCIAL ECONOMY GROUP (E.K.O.) in the context of the European Commission’s Erasmus+ Youth Exchange programs. It took place in Athens, Greece on 14th -22nd April 2018, and involved a group fifty seven (57) young people aged 18-30, from eight (8) different countries: Greece, Estonia, Malta, Israel, Italy, Czech Republic, Russia and Turkey.

The project focused on our shared cultural heritage and has been awarded with the European Year of Cultural Heritage (EYCH) logo by the European Commission.

The main goal of this initiative was to inform and sensitize young people on values linked to the Olympic spirit as a message of peace building. Sports ideals and sportsmanship were regarded as a tool “at the service of the harmonious human development for the promotion of a peaceful society, which ensures the preservation of human dignity”, as it is described in the Olympic Charter. According to Pierre de Coubertin Olympism is a philosophy of life which places sports at the service of humanity. This philosophy is based on the interaction of the qualities of the body, soul and mind. Olympism is expressed through actions which link sport to culture, education and international cooperation with an emphasis on the principle of non discrimination. The history and evolution of the Olympic Games, the Olympic spirit, the “fair play”, education of body and spirit in ancient Greece, constitute issues that can sensitize youngsters with regard to the principles and values of conducting and managing a dignified life in modern societies.

The objectives of this project were met with great success, through the program of workshops and activities, on the basis of methodologies and principles of non-formal education, and a series of intercultural nights and cultural visits in Athens. In particular, young people elaborated on the philosophical values of Olympic ideals and their contribution to humanism, self respect and respect to the others, equity and honorable living. Through experiential learning, dialogue and direct interaction they enhanced personal, interpersonal and multicultural competences and discovered how the eternal humanitarian values of Olympism can become a powerful tool for civil society to combat phenomena such as hate, violence, racial racism, xenophobia in a world peace building setting.

SOCIAL MEDIA 4 POSITIVE CHANGE IN WISLA, POLAND 

Nowadays, social media is an inseparable part of life of young people. For them, it is also very often the main source of information. On the base of materials read and viewed in social media they shape their opinions and attitudes. Therefore, it is important for every organization that works in the field of youth to use this huge opportunity which is reaching young people via activities in social media.

17 participants of the Training “Social media for positive change” from 8 countries (Bulgaria, Greece, Latvia, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Spain), discovered and explored the potential and opportunities that social media gives, gained knowledge and practical skills regarding reaching and influencing young people through social media and exchanged their experience and best practices in this field.

MEETING NAZIONALE DEI GIOVANI “NOI GIOVANI EUROPEI. WHAT’S NEXT?”

I had the opportunity to be part of the National meeting of young people in Salerno that aimed to create a common reflection on the priorities and implementation of a common national dialogue on the theme of youth policies in a European dimension.
During this project we worked and discussed in groups, developing our own ideas and proposals. I got the chance to learn more about the tools of youth protagonism, the cooperation between young people and the institutions as well as to meet institutional and territorial representatives who brought their testimony and expertise on specific topics.
I would like to thank the association EUROSUD, for giving me the opportunity to participate in this event and thank you to Associazione Moby Dick for providing a successful and active project.

On 18th April in Balab have been introduced the participants who will follow the program in Bari, Barletta and Taranto together along with the tutors. Together they have celebrated the birthday of this special place and tasted special cake.

Balab literally is a contamination Lab, a place for the University in Bari, where the students could share ideas and individual dreams and go out with their realized projects, it’s a place where the students can make mistakes, create, design and most of all they can dream big.

Balab is a special place because of its special persons who are part of it. Every one of us has a talent, but if you are keeping it inside of you, that talent will never bloom. But if you get into the game, not only will you feel better but also the community will benefit from it.
