Nowadays we live in a global, immediate and ephemeral society, where young people face new problems that arise with more force than a decade ago. Problems such as unemployment, social exclusion, the desertification of the interior and lack of opportunities outside the centers of decision, xenophobia or environmental problems are increasingly and it’s urgent that the young try to find a solution for them.
Youth is the time to build up a person and is a natural and decisive step in life in shaping human nature. Therefore, it is necessary to accompany the young not to feel helpless, giving them enough freedom so that they can overcome their own problems and dilemmas.
Thus, between 15 and 23 of April 2011, 24 young people from four European Union countries, are meeting in the town of Serpa, within a multilateral exchange, to jointly meet, confront and overcome the problems that affect them today. Using the tools of non-formal education and promoting dialogue, tolerance and multicultural ideas, young people will speak with their own language about current problems, which they know directly, such as unemployment, sustainable development or the European socio-political reality. And Serpa is an ideal setting for this purpose, the inner city that suffers from lack of opportunities.
