ROUTHThe main aspect of our project is making citizens think critically. This is representative for a person with self-guidance, self-discipline, a person who reaches the highest level in intellectuality, if he persists in this way. Individuals, who obtain critical and consistent thinking, are being more empathic, reasonable and rational. We want to give them the opportunity, to find out for themselves, as junior citizens who have creative and critical thinking, who realize their capabilities and roles in modern democracy, all the processes of that political system, that affects their lives. Our purpose is to make them understand that they hold their future to their hands, and that they should not allow anyone to manipulate them. A new network of active younger Citizens will emerge from their efforts. OurYoungers will commune every topic of that network in a forum that will be built by them.Our target group of students, aging from 13 to 18 years old,300 in number, will involve every specialization available in each school, both sexes, and mostly youngers who belong to disadvantaged groups.Our intention is to implement a project, that will have a lifetime impact on them, so students will be the core of every activity that we design.Our planning involves 35 teachers from every school. Their role will be to turn the results of our project into long-term practices for our students, at all levels. Teacher’s roles will be coordination and guidance for our students. They will act as an intangible resource for the students.Our objectives are:-Development of thinking critically, how to become a leader, communicational and social skill development.- Activate our youngers to community life issues.-Put the foundation of free thinking and acting-Emerge values such as respecting each other, being tolerant, democratic and active as a citizen.-to forward intercultural learning-Development of cooperation and idea exchanging among students across EuropeMain activitiesThe main core of our project will be the four exchanges. During these meetings, students will debate in real time dialogues, presenting their augments, as well as their counterarguments, that they derived from their research, that involved data analysis, situation assessment, performing interviews and role-play participation. The research that will be performed by every team of students , will ensure that the meetings will produce the expected results and that proper information exchange will be made.There are 5 exchanges with the following topics:C1- Immigrating issueC2 – Democracy and human rights violationC3 – Discrimination and it’s forms.C4 – Social motivationC5 - Joint StaffMethods used:Prior to each exchange, the groups of students will process each topic that will be presented there.There will be an established and scientific data collection methodology that will provide everything that is necessary, in order to present correctly the situation that is of their duty. To achieve this, each team is required to perform interviewing, contact personnel of several NGO’s that participate in related actions , data collection and analysis, assessment and decision making. Every research work will be presented by the students, as the exchange occurs. They will compare their data with the data of the other countries and come to conclusions. They will take part in several debates and think tank activities that will boost their ways of thinking critically. They will get in contact with local politicians and local services stuff, in order to analyze and discuss those issues.ImpactEach student will become autonomous and will enhance the ability to think critically. He or she will learn about rights and obligations in the European and local environment, will increase civic involvement, will form an intercultural conscience. Finally the project will shape students and make them better professionally, personally and interpersonally .Students will learn to respect other cultures, civilizations, they will teach and be taught tolerance as well as respecting the fellow human. They will realize that being active citizens is a one way road, if we want Europe to succeed.Material assets, such as records of each debate, researches, each presentation and activities that make students think critically, will be communed in the best possible way.We expect to expand the impact of our project via the on line platform, the dissemination meetings and the tangible assets, exhibited on a large scale of physical spaces. Our intangible assets, will be posted in any on line spaceThis project, is designed to be beneficiary not only for the students and teachers involved, but for the local community, authorities and ngo’s that will be a part of it.Teaching stuff will enrich its material and will improve communicational skills.
