To tackle the two biggest and most common problems among young people today, "Will of Youngs, Power of Culture" (WOYPOC) is a six months youth mobility project, including four youth groups with total of 56 mobilities from four European countries: Iceland, Turkey, Lithuania and Spain, supported by two group leaders from each country. Apart from an Advance Planning Visit (A1), the main activities in WOYPOC are two (A2 and A3) since the project deals with two addicted themes. A2 will take place in Spain in July 2016 where the focus will be on Internet addiction among youth and A3 will take place in Iceland in September 2016 where the focus will be on substance addiction among youth. The effective partnership consists of four partners, who have a vast experience in European projects. The coordinator is a public upper secondary school in Iceland, which made the consortium with another upper secondary school in Lithuania, NGO in Spain and a national educational institution in Turkey. All partners have experience in working with formal. in-formal and non-formal education. Age and gender balance will be secured in all these activities and all activities will be enriched with local and international figures. The methodology of WOYPOC is a peer-to-peer educative approach. It focuses on creating an awareness towards addiction among young people in Europe through healthy lifestyle and cultural exchange to enhance youth's motivation towards education and job creation. The project has been designed with the aim of reducing the effects addiction behavior in teens with common solutions, that will appear in an inner structure of the project's purpose, which is planned to have five main phases, forming the basis of A2 and A3. Planned activities include: 1. Start-up. (Advance Planning Visit).2. Research and Surveys. (Interactive mapping phases).3. ICT training and tool implementation. (Open Educational Resources). 4. Communication, promotion and dissemination.5. Monitoring and final evaluation.The main objectives of the WOYPOC project are: • to facilitate transition of teenagers from the addicted world to the real world in order to reduce the effects of addiction through healthy lifestyle and culture exchange. • to build self-confidence in young people to become decision makers and practioners in their own lives and communities.• to bring disadvantaged young people into advantageous position and communities.• to promote the use of ICT tools in order to ensure that young people can show their talent.• to provide integration of addicted youth into societies and awareness of multlinguaism and EU citizenship.The main methodological frame of the project is based on the principle that all the activities and actions have been thought out and planned by young people for young people, in other words for their peers, where the four youth groups involved are both learners and teachers respectively, and where the real mutual understanding and knowledge sharing can take place and be experienced. These are activities inspired by their wish to change, to learn and to improve their lives and their local communities. The planned impacts generated by the project "Will of Youngs, Power of Culture" are many and varied, for the young participants, the partner educational institutions involved and the local and international communities reached. The young participants will improve their social, multicultural and practical skills and will develop a greater knowledge of specific topics such as ICT, web based information, territorial mapping, digital marketing, project management and so on. The main inspiration of the project is the determination of young people who want to get rid of addiction dependence, discover healthy lifestyle, different cultures and a desire to promote their own cultures. While improving knowledge in foreign languages and foreign cultures and countries, the youth will work together on reducing and eliminating the impact of addicted behavior through targeted activities, develop self-confidence and learn to act in a multicultural environment, both as a single and as a group in a positive way. As a real added value, young participants will acquire detailed information on the ICT sector through the development of two themed mobile applications, described in A2 (Internet-addiction) and A3 (Substance addiction) activities. Apart from the construction of two mobile apps, WOYPOC involves creating videos, theatre plays, quiz competition, guidelines in form of a digital handbook, cultural exchange and sporting activities.
