YOUCREATE
YOUCREATE is a KA2 Strategic Partnership co-funded by the Erasmus + of the European Union. Led by Formation et Sensibilisation de Luxembourg in Luxembourg. The project involves partnerships from Sweden (SwIdeas AB), Germany (IBERIKA EDUCATION GROUP GGMBH), and Greece (SYNERGASIA ENEGON POLITON).
YOUCREATE aims to empower young people from diverse cultural and national backgrounds and youth workers to contribute to more sustainable policies and practices and take the lead and utilize creativity to actively participate in the reshaping of our society towards a more circular future. Accordingly, it is expected that the project will support social inclusion through greater empowerment, transnational connections, and improved sense of belonging. The project will include digital training, a manual introducing innovative narrative-based learning techniques, and an “EDUcreateBAG” collecting the videos and all ideas, practices and non-formal educational tools and material identified and developed during the project.
