The project "Together for memory", a youth exchange within the Key Action 1 of the Erasmus+ Programme, have involved 21 young people from three countries. The participating organisations were: Libera Palermo (Italy), Wetek-berlin gGmbH ( Germany), Fundacion Juventud y Cultura ( Spain) The aim of the project was the promotion and the development of the collective memory that is understood not only as a representation of the past shared by a group or community but also as daily commitments to justice and peace. In order to bring Europe closer to the younger generation, it is essential to promote and disseminate the European valuesby preserving the memory of the past. Italy, Germany and Spain have in common a sad past of dictatorship. New generations have to keep this in mind to better understand their present and to build a European society more aware and friendly toward other cultures and other countries. The objective of the project is to answer the need for a lawful,democratic society with the sensitization of young peoples by introducing them to the importance of memory and by developing their sense of justice, active citizenship and anti-discrimination. All these values are essential for a functioning community as well asat local, national as at international level. The main activities carried out during the youth exchange will be informal and non-formal activities, being essential features of the Erasmus+ Programme. Peer education is an important method which will have priority during the activities. The idea of the project comes from the anti-mafia organisation Libera Palermo who has long experience in non-formal education aiming at the promotion of active citizenship and fostering social inclusion. Through the project the participating organisations can open new levels of cooperation in their field, further strengthening the international dimension of their work.
