Map your piece of Europe! (training course)

Map your piece of Europe! is a training course that will include 20 participants and take place in November 2016 in Lisbon, in Portugal, for 2 weeks.

THE PROJECT IDEA
We want to bring together youth workers specialized in active citizenship & visual arts to exchange workshops. By animating activities for one another, they will develop tools to engage youngsters in maping their European territories. By implementing all the methods and exercises themselves, they will create innovative and participative European maps highlighting the subjective perceptions of their creators and users.

WHO ARE WE?
NOMADWAYS is a french non profit and non governmental organisation. Our goal is to innovate in the fields of youth, education and art through the use of interdisciplinary, transgenerational and multicultural dialogue. We organise projects for creatives and youth workers that bring together skills that are usually dissociated: live arts, digital competences, social sciences and more. Our team is around 30 volunteer members. We organized and participated in european exchanges and trainings for the past 6 years. You can see more on www.nomadways.eu

PRACTICALITIES
Map your piece of Europe! is a training for youth workers, Key Action 1 of the Erasmus+ programme. We will submit an application for it on the 30th of April 2015. The activities will take place in November 2016 in Lisbon, Portugal. We will invite 20 participants from at least 6 different countries. All activities, accommodation and food costs will be covered by NOMADWAYS. Each participant will be reimbursed of his/her travel costs, up to a limit of 275 euros for travel distances between 500 and 1999km, 360 euros for travel distances between 2000 and 2999km and 530 euros for travel distances between 3000 and 3999km.

WHAT DO WE EXPECT?
As project partners, we would like you to help us design and realise a project that we can all be proud of! So, concretely, that implies:
-find 1 or 2 youth workers who are passionately into visual arts and/or citizen use of public spaces to take part in the activities
-help them propose and prepare workshops in these fields, that they will animate for the others during the training
-have them ready to participate as actively as they can
-when the time comes, spread the word about the training and its results!

Also, whatever we plan for this project, we will ask for your opinion and expect some constructive criticism and creative thinking from you!
