about YOUrope needs YOU!
about YOUrope needs YOU! project dedicated to empower High School students. The chance to be active citizens, to gain satisfaction after projects well-done, beauty of being volunteer and contribute to the society - we all have experienced it. Now we want to share it with High School students, by means of interactive workshops. We want to increase their knowledge about Europe, European values, European matters, then motivate them to take action to do something for their schools, their societies and keep them informed about all possibilities which Europe can offer them.
We have become empowered during 1st cycle of YNY!. Now we want to share our idealism, inspiration with the others. Moreover, our trainers showed us how by means of non-formal education we can develop ourselves, our ideas and create the project of which we would never have thought before. It is the reason why our whole project is based on non-formal education. We wish High School students to become as empowered and as confident in their abilities as we are.
We called ourselves Dream Team, a team which has a common dream, but at the same time people who are able to dedicate themselves to make their dreams come true...
