Seminar: "What the...Solidarity?!" in Poland

Seminar: "What the...Solidarity?!"
16-23 October 2022 | Tuchola, Poland

The main idea is to provide the space for 27 youth workers and educators from 9 countries to share experiences and explore more the concept of SOLIDARITY as well as develop concrete youth project ideas that develop this value in our communities.
Alhough promoting solidarity among our communities in Europe and among young people is one of the priorities of Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps, we have observed that it is not so easy to explain this concept and give concrete examples of it. In different contexts it is understood and practiced differently. Especially lately, when we all experience so much distress (related to COVID, the war in Ukraine, growing prices, etc.), it is highly crucial to explore crucial values that keep the society together and should be promoted more in education and youth work.

During the seminar participants are going to explore:
-Meaning and understanding of concept of solidarity
-Real-life examples of solidarity (or lack of solidarity) in our communities
-What is the role of young people and youth work in promoting solidarity?
-Non-formal learning tools
-Partnership-building
-Developing youth project ideas within Erasmus+/European Solidarity Corps programmes that might be ready to submit and get granted
-Promote solidarity among youth through non-formal learning activities (Ocrober, November 2022)
