Dear colleagues and friends,


European Citizenship and youth participation are core issues within the YOUTH IN ACTION programme of the European Commission. Nevertheless there is a lack of concrete working material, methodical hints and practical guidance for youth workers dealing with the issues. The aim of the meeting is to bring together experts from European level, trainers, leaders and youth workers to discuss the meaning of European Citizenship and youth participation, possible ways to break the issues down for the practice in international youth work and to come up with creative and innovative approaches, ideas and support for practitioners in the international youth field.

The title of the meeting is:

"1st International Youth Meeting: European Citizen - Where are you?"

One Life-Youth exchange
Sofia, Bulgaria ? April 2010

In the present times of new-age illnesses the main aim of our project
is to provoke youngsters to think over their way of life and to make
them realize the fact, that the dynamic modern way of life puts our
health to numerous risks. The warning statistics reveal that more and
more young people are overweight, which leads to different heart
diseases and other illnesses. That is due to the fact that youngsters
don not know or do not care for regular and dietary eating and rarely
exercise their bodies. We would like to show to the young people that
the healthy life is very important and it is easy to achieve, if you
are able to organize your day right.

Communities have built collections of information in collaborative manners in the forms of encyclopaedias for centuries. More recently, Wikipedia has demonstrated how collaborative efforts can be a powerful feature to build a massive data storage.

Wikipedia is only one example brought about by Web 2.0 with the goal of creating communities of users.

Communities have built collections of information in collaborative manners in the forms of encyclopaedias for centuries. More recently, Wikipedia has demonstrated how collaborative efforts can be a powerful feature to build a massive data storage. It is known that Wikipedia has become a key part of many corporations’ knowledge management systems for decision making. Wikipedia is only one example brought about by Web 2.0 with the goal of creating communities of users.
