Somos Europa

The “Asociación Cultural Somos Europa” was born with the task that the young people of
our province (Granada) know more deeply what Europe is, its different cultures, languages,
ways of understanding life, history.... We want to strengthen the European identity using
intercultural knowledge as a tool. We also want our young people to be socially more
participative, to be committed to be autonomous and involved with the social problems, we
want them decide for themselves and become drivers of change. We would like to favor the
acquisition of skills through non-formal education mainly (workshops, project development,
cultural activities, volunteering ...).
We are a group of people, mostly young people who come from working with the Padul in
Action Youth Association and the Padul Town Hall, we worked with these two entities
working with the Erasmus + program with more than satisfactory results. We decided to give
One step further and expand our work to the rest of the province. Our way of working is
integrative and proactive, it is the young participants who carry out and implement our
projects always with our coordination and supervision.
We have participated in the implementation of the Erasmus + program in our municipality
through the development of 2 young exchanges
• Sharing quality of Life
• Move on, Europe is waiting for you
In the same way we have been partner in several young exchanges in other parts of Europe
(Romania, Ireland, Hungary, Cyprus and Poland).
This summer we have developed our first European volunteer project in our town, It has been
a magnificent experience that has given participants the opportunity to know new cultures
and to acquire new tools.
We collaborate in the development in our municipality of the linguistic campus, English
Summer Camp, in fact the volunteers that we hosted this summer in our municipality worked
in that program.
We participate in many of the cultural and sports initiatives that take place in our
municipality as volunteers (Navimamut, Mammoth International Race, Mammoth Bike
Festival …
We collaborate with the Youth Center of our municipality in the dissemination of the
Erasmus + program among our young people.
We have developed several informative talks about the Erasmus + program with the young
people of the IES la Laguna and young people from our Town.
