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.

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 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!

*drin-*drin-*drin!!
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!

👨‍🏫 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!

What we do

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.
