Day 6 - Tuesday 26. March - Working on citizenship

From early morning, we were continuing in working hard on our videos for the European Youth TV show, finalising last details. After the trainers collected all our outputs and changed the seminar room to a small cinema auditorium, the show could finally begin.
The European Youth TV show’s programme was varied, including a wide range of TV genres:

• Fairy-tale ‘European Union of Smurfs’
• Morning News
• Commercials 1
• Soap opera
• Documentary
• Talk show
• Commercials 2
• Evening News

The trainers acted as TV show hosts, presenting the videos and asking viewers / video authors questions about the videos as well as their topics. Also, we have special guests, Ms Schuman and Mr Schengen, who came from the European Commission to share their opinions about the videos with us. 

In the afternoon we finally became active citizens, starting to work on our own projects to improve our communities. First, we however needed to learn more about the Erasmus+ programme, its key actions and activities. Apart from a presentation, we also discussed more about respective types of activities (youth exchanges, training courses and KA2, EVS/ESC and project applications) with the trainers and organising team. An interactive session about how to develop a project from understanding needs and problems to setting up project aim, objectives, target group, designing activities and evaluating impact followed.
Then we formed groups according to what we wanted to change in our local (or even international) realities and started developing our project ideas (to be continued tomorrow…).
The day finished with a tradition of group reflection, this time with a series of interesting questions such as: What do I feel more comfortable about now? What do I feel more confident about? What progress did I make today? What I am able to do? etc.
