EducAction
Let’s roll up our sleeves, get our act together and make a change in our school or local community starting from the bottom up. The EducAction project will target 4 school communities across Europe promoting civic and social competences among young people by strengthening school and local community centrality.
#youthempowerment #EducAction

The youth of Faro, Hasselt, Milan and Thessaloniki are involved.

Vandaag hadden we een online internationaal Final Conference over het EducAction project. We gingen in interactie met onder andere een journalist uit Griekenland, een verantwoordelijke voor jeugdwerking in Milaan, een projectverantwoordelijke uit Portugal en natuurlijk de studenten die net als wij deelnamen aan het EducAction project. Een leerrijke voormiddag waaruit het belang van jongerenparticipatie centraal stond.❤️

What an experience! Hoe zalig dat we eindelijk ons eigen werk konden voorstellen aan de projectgroepen uit Thessaloniki, Milaan en Portugal. Daarnaast hielpen we mee aan het Europees manifest om jongerenparticipatie te boosten. 👏👏 Applausje voor onszelf 💪 #teap #theeducactionproject
Brainstorm alert! Hier wordt een manifest rond jongerenparticipatie ongesteld #workinprogress #teap #theeducactionproject
What a great opportunity!
We had the chance to present our community proposal to the Hasselt city centre manager Ben Croonenborghs.
He was able to tell us more about his position as a centre manager and his feedback for the proposals.
Thank you Ben Croonenborghs, it was nice to meet you!

È fuori onda il nostro, tanto atteso, film d'azione! Apparte gli scherzi, dopo un caldo infernale e tanto sudore, finalmente possiamo tirare un sospiro di sollievo e presentarvi questo interessante photo video reportage. Consiglio a tutti di andarlo subito a vedere e di imparare qualcosa di nuovo. D'altronde era questo uno degli obiettivi principali. Mi raccomando, lo trovate sul canale Youtube di actionaiditalia, con titolo: "Progetto Educ-Azione, Good Governance e Partecipazione Civica".
Ringrazio infine, a nome di tutta la classe 4H, i fantastici ragazzi del cde_creta e officinadellaproduzione, che hanno permesso tutto questo e i nostri bravi e coraggiosi attori.
Ancora grazie e buona visone!

🗓️ No dia 28 de Junho, a coordenadora do projecto foi convidada a participar (ao lado de dois representantes de entidades da nossa comunidade), como oradora, no evento de lançamento do projecto "Community Driving Change".*
📢 Foi apresentado o projecto EducAction: a sua estrutura geral e fases, actividades, participantes e contextos de intervenção, resultados e eventos.
💻 Foi também apresentado, aos/às participantes, um pequeno excerto do nosso Webinar local, a fim de lhes mostrar os principais resultados dos Laboratórios Escolares (problemas identificados no contexto escolar e soluções concebidas para estes problemas) através da voz de alun@s envolvidos no projecto.
🏙️ O evento centrou-se nos temas e áreas de intervenção comuns a todas as organizações e projectos reunidos no evento: empoderamento dos cidadãos; reforço do papel cívico; importância dos espaços de participação; processos de consulta pública; envolvimento da comunidade em processos de tomada de decisão capazes de criar soluções/alternativas que sirvam e respeitem as suas aspirações e necessidades cruciais, em diferentes áreas.
🗣️ Após as apresentações, tivemos um espaço de debate com questões em torno de diferentes contextos e abordagens participativas, tanto a nível local como regional.
*Este projecto é co-financiado pela Europe for Citizens - Civil Society Projects e coordenado, a nível local, pela cooperativa Contextos.

👨🏫 O Adjunto do Director da Escola Secundária Pinheiro e Rosa aeprosa, Prof. André Lara Ramos, foi convidado pela associação local Civis - Associação para o Aprofundamento da Cidadania* a participar, no dia 26 de Maio, numa sessão de debate online sobre o tema "Educação e Participação - A escola como contexto de promoção da cidadania e da participação juvenil".
✉️ Este convite foi também endereçado à equipa da coopecos, responsável pela coordenação local do projecto EducAction, implementado nesta escola secundária, com o intuito de apresentar o trabalho desenvolvido neste âmbito.
🏫 A escola é lugar privilegiado para o desenvolvimento integral de crianças e jovens. Em matéria de cidadania e participação, a sua centralidade e relações com a comunidade e entidades locais, são aspetos capazes de impulsionar o crescente envolvimento das camadas mais jovens na vida da sua comunidade e, consequentemente, fomentar o exercício de uma participação cívica cada vez mais informada, activa e empoderada.
🗣️ Partindo destes pressupostos, oradores e participantes enriqueceram a sessão com apresentações e um momento de debate em torno de estratégias e projectos que, tal como EducAction, visam promover a participação dos jovens na Escola Secundária Pinheiro e Rosa.

Het Atheneum Hasselt accepted the challenge! 💪✅
Grenzen verleggen en participatie zijn de sleutelwoorden van deze Hasseltse school. Ze motiveren hun leerlingen om zelf de touwtjes in handen te nemen. Benieuwd wat dat gaat geven bij het EducAction project? STAY TUNED!

Hasselt Hurray! We are proud to announce our local community.
We zijn blij om aan te kondigen dat de stad Hasselt mee in zee gaat met het EducAction project. Ze zijn bereid om hun kennis en expertise te delen met jongeren. Participatie en inspraak door en voor jongeren, dat is onze gezamenlijke agenda.

It’s about time the students have their say. You guys go and change what you choose to change at your school. You’re the boss. Sounds good? Well, it goes even further… After the school’s tackled, it’s time to take the next step, your local community.
So you’re in charge, but we won’t let you down. Parents, teachers and the local government will be supporting you through the process. So let’s kick some *ss!
Next to your school, 3 other schools in 3 different European countries are doing the same. During the programme, you will be updated by their actions
EducAction is a project co-funded by the European Union and involved 4 partners from 4 European countries. The action will target 4 “school communities” (Belgium, Greece, Italy, Portugal) to improve social and civic competences of young people and their ability to be active citizens in their own community..
The 24 months’ intervention builds an integrated model of education and civic participation by working at individual, community and institutional level. First we will work at school level through school labs. The next phase is a scale-up of the same approach at the local authority level through community labs.
The action will target 4 “school communities” in 4 European countries (Belgium, Greece, Italy, Portugal) to improve social and civic competences of young people and their ability to be active citizens in their own community. The Project is funded by the European Union – Education, Audiovisual, and Cultural Executive Agency (Erasmus+).
European project partners
The selected project partners each have their own expertise that contributes to the project. They will manage the project and are responsible for the follow-up the intervention in their own city.
Faro_ECOS, Hasselt_UCLL, Thessaloniki_Asteri, Milan_ActionAid
Schools
The action will target 4 “school communities” to test the acquisition of social and civic competences and improve both the individual skills of young people and their ability to be active citizens in their own community. Students, teachers and parents will be involved with a focus on the students as they will develop concrete solutions. The action is based on two experimental Labs: one within the school (School Labs) and one open to the whole community (Community Labs). Curious about the participating schools?
You’ll find them by city.
Local authorities
The action will enhance student’s skills, building trust in their community and preparing them to navigate into adulthood. The contribution to the decision-making process of their own community play an active role in program/policy development and it is important in building and shaping youth involvement. Curious about the participating authorities?
You’ll find them by city.
Stakeholders network
At the local level based on an alliance between local public and private actors. At the national level, the project actors will promote the adoption of models of active youth citizenship in schools, such as the introduction of civic education national programmes or the very methods and techniques used by the project. At the European level, the project’s Partners will encourage active European citizenship and motivate young people to get involved in European politics. Would you like to be part of our stakeholders?
Let’s get in touch.
