  'I-PLAY' PARTNERS MEETING IN ITALY

Internet access for Participation, Learning and Active Youth

Representatives of Musninkai rural community Jelena, Ozgun, Zivile and representative of Sirvintos Eldership Rima have joined international partners meeting in Santa Maria di Leuca (IT) on 26 - 29 June 2022. The AIM of the meeting was Presentation of the results of the local researches and preparation of the next Local Initiatives about E-CITIZENSHIP; Presentation of the new CERV programme.

"I-PLAY: Internet access for Participation, Learning and Active Youth" is a 24 months initiative,designed by 9 partners from 7 EU (IT,PT,FR,BE,BG,LT,HE) and 1 neighbor (AL) Countries,with the aim to establish a Network of Organizations and Towns,to give voice to rural and peripheral territories and digitally excluded citizens (migrants,refugees,disabled,but not only), by facilitating debates on the need of an equal access to the Internet and on its future in EU.The global health emergency caused by the COVID-19 has forced EU citizens to digitally re-think their way of life, working, studying, learning, communicating and participating. But, how it is possible to move so quickly towards a digital-based society, to talk about civic and democratic participation and to contribute to the Union policy-making process, without guaranteeing EQUAL ACCESS to the internet for all? What are the EU initiatives and programs on this purpose and how could everyone contribute to a more digitally inclusive society? With its structured workplan (6 International Events, 24 Local Debates and 8 Local Dissemination Meetings in 8 Countries), the project impacts on more than 600 direct and 35.000 indirect participants. 16 Young Players (2 per country) first will contribute to local researches on good practices to be shared (collected in the E-Book "I-PLAY Inclusive practices" ) and, then, will act as digital facilitators and multipliers, by stimulating debates on the future of digital inclusion in EU, and collecting ideas and proposals on e-Citizenship, Digital Solidarity, Distance Learning, Remote Working, Digital Communication (collected in the Recommendations "I-PLAY for the Future of Europe:how to foster digital inclusion"). The Recommendations, as result of this long-lasting participatory bottom-up approach, will be then addressed to the relevant policy-makers, thanks to some partner organizations with their consultative status at the EU Parliament and thanks to the Eurodesk Network which will support the dissemination campaign.

Empowering Minds: A Learning Journey Through the 'Compass' Manual on Human Rights Education

  On the first day, I was excited. However, when we were already at the villa, I felt scared because I thought I would be shy and uncomfortable. But as we started, I discovered many things about volunteering. The socializing part was amazing—I loved how people took care of each other. Everyone was kind and respectful. On other days, I learned that I gained much more than just knowledge from the activities; I also learned how to feel empathy. Learning in another language was challenging but also very useful. I’m eager to use my knowledge about human rights in my everyday life as soon as possible. I also plan to talk about it in my school and share my experiences with my friends. 😊😊😊

Coaching as a Tool for Improving Leadership Skills participants experiences

  Day 9th January 💙 The Spanish team travelled to Vilnius arriving late at night. However, that same day we started getting to know Lithuania. I was extremely happy   and surprised because of visiting such snowy and cold region which I am not used to Day 10th January 💛 Some of us visited the architecture and culture of the capital and spent the day strolling through frozen streets to get to know better the country.

Day 11th January 💜 Trakai, the castle and frozen lake was truly outstanding and we really were blissful by having enjoyed the excursion we did to the village. In afternoon, we took the bus to Sirvintos and took one that was no direct so we saw every possible village that there was in the countryside between Sirvintos and Vilnius. Arriving to the guest house, I notices everyone was incredibly social and it kind of seemed that we knew each other even from long ...

Rural youth work development participants learning jorney

  First of all, I would like to point out that this was my first training course.  My trip began the 28th of November and I arrived the 29th in "The Villa".  If I have to summarize my learnings during these days I would remark that now I know more about what is youth work about, concretely rural youth work, the problems that exists in rural area, how to deal with them, etc. Also, about the projects this association is implementing here and the outputs for the youth, how this is helping them to develop themselves better, and a bit of how to design a project, it was interesting to think of all the steps that are needed to run one.  The most remarkable thing has been people. Smart, kind, generous and funny people, they made this experience something to remember.  Also, having the opportunity to know "real" people from Lithuania doing traditional things, as we did in the festival "Romansu vakaras", it was a really nice experience listening to those songs, shar...
