Building with young Europeans the territories of new solidarities

European territories will have changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, an unprecedented health, economic and social crisis for Europeans. Young people have been particularly impacted by this situation. For the first time, this generation had to deal with measures of social distancing in an increasingly connected society. Today, they have to face the worst economic crisis of their existence at a decisive moment in their lives when they have to make the choice of their educational orientation or their integration into the labor market.

However, this episode helped to reveal the emergence of new forms of solidarity. Young people have been witnesses and actors of a raising new world with plenty of new opportunities such as digital solidarity through the use of social networks, innovative mobilizations to help healthcare staff, or even the experimentation of the digital school. In a time of reflection on how to build the territories of tomorrow, these new solidarities appear to be opportunities to create the world of our future generation. It is time to give the floor to young people so that they can grasp, understand and discuss on these issues in order to build the united territories of tomorrow.

In order to achieve this objective, we wish to carry out a youth project supported by the Erasmus + programme on theme "Building with young Europeans the territories of new solidarities".

The aim is to build a local and European partnership to bring this project together before the the Erasmus + programme authorities.

Europe en Hainaut offers you 3 project tracks, corresponding to 3 actions that can be supported, which will need to be worked on with all of the local and European partners. These project tracks are as follows:

1) Youth mobility project: Building together the territories of new solidarities

2) Youth dialogue with political stakeholders project: Our solutions for building territories of new
solidarities

3) Youth workers mobility project: Adapting the youth work environment to the territories of new
solidarities
