The European citizenship awareness is being mentioned as the common solution to the social problems which increasing rasicm and xenofobia have brought just after the European economic crisis. We carried out our project to make young people understand better the meaning of depending on each other and fighting with the common problems with the European citizenship awareness beyond just voting on the elections. As Turkey Europe Foundation, we carried out our project to define the concept of living together on the identity of European Citizenship.
The participants, who has basic either no knowledge about European Citizenship and Youth Participation and want to improve their skills and the leaders who supported those participants, were informed about European Citizenship topic with the methods such workshops, role-plays, simulation games and various activities to meet with the needs of the participants in higher level. In addition to that,during the project we informed participants about Erasmus+ Youth Program and increase the visibility of Erasmus+ Program. Furthermore, the participants worked on their own project to present their own ideas to Erasmus+ Programme.
