Spirit of democracy

Do you know about citizenship or democracy? Or understand? Young people should act the most but often are the least interested. Can we change that? We'll try.

Project "Spirit of democracy" is for young people who don't care or just are not interested in politics and their country's life. We are not going to hide: our project's goal is to raise young people's political awareness and help them understand the importance of active citizenship and representation of their interests by themselves. To achieve this goal we are going to use non-formal learning methods, which will encourage participants of the project to analyse the problems of political systems, create new ideas, try to look at all that "boring political information" from other perspectives and, what is the most important, they will learn to represent their interests by making presentations, sharing their opinion and fighting against baseless criticism.

Project overview

Spirit of democracy is a project by
Unique Projects
taking place
from 2014-08 till 2014-12
This project relates to:
Action 1.1 (Youth Exchanges)
and is focusing on:
  • Democracy/Active citizenship
  • European citizenship
  • Intercultural dialogue
  • Non-formal learning
This project can include young people with fewer opportunities like
  • Social obstacles
  • Disability
  • Cultural differences
  • Geographical obstacles
Young people (aged 18 - 24) who have nothing in common with politics. Expert in political systems would also be beneficial. We would like to make a partnership for youth exchanges. In that case we would like partners to participate in the project and main exchanges (it means coming to our country). We can match plan of activities together, travel matter etc. but it wouldn't be essential for you.
