Sustainable Mobility Project

B-CYCLE is a youth exchange project focused on sports, outdoor activities and creativity for young people 18-30 who love biking!

"B-Cycle” is a project about art and culture with putting aspect on alternative art techniques and making something out of nothing.
It will happen in Pescara, Italia with youngsters taking part in it - they will join creative thinking, exchange ideas, knowledge, and experience, positive examples through non-formal workshops, team building, role play, and creative workshops.
Participants countries cultures will be present, European diversity will be promoted and tolerance and respect between youngsters coming from different backgrounds will be achieved.
In concrete, the project objectives are:
- Think about the function of bicycle as environment friendly mean of mobility
- Bicycles’ design and regeneration
- Comparison between the different mobility sustainable realities of the countries partners
- Function and activation of bike break point
- The bicycle as mean to develop the sustainable tourism
- Guided tour in the nature reserves

In the project we use non-formal education methods: workshops, brainstorming and discussions, ice-breaking games, simulations and role plays, presentations, challenges and a lot more. In addition we will use few more traditional methods like visits and round tables. The whole activity is perceived as a mutual exchange of learning situation based on participants’ experiences and opinions. Active participation, group and team work & learning by doing will form the methodological foundation of the exchange. Our aim is that participants can gain knowledge, skills and experience through learning by doing. As well we will do workshop about Youth in Action programme, YouthPass and we will try to set up some ideas for future projects.
The realization of the project will last 10 days:
Training course (including travel days) will take place in Abruzzo (Pescara/Anversa degli Abruzzi), Italy in May 2018 (dates to be confirmed).
The main activities will be followed by workshops in participating countries to multiply learning outcomes.
