About the project
On the actual economic crisis background the whole world faces to a stronger and stronger identity crisis, a kind of problem the more high the more complex are entities involved. In such a unique structure as European Union was since it’s establishment – becoming more and more heterogeneous during its growing – especially at once with the “expansion toward East” (where “East is much more that a cardinal point, it’s a “lifestyle”) the identity problems were strong enough even in “good times”. The more important is, both for European Union as a “three pillar temple” (as it was designed by the Maastricht Treaty) and for each inhabitant, the passing through the whole path based on the “implication scale” (detailed below) – from awareness of European Citizenship concept to the assuming of the main European Values.
From this generally reasons the partners have identified specific local needs & target groups (listed below) that are representative of some of the key issues facing the wider European community & with whom the project will be developed.
From this generally reasons the partners have identified specific local needs & target groups (listed below) that are representative of some of the key issues facing the wider European community & with whom the project will be developed.
On this background, the project Civic Literacy and European Awareness for Minority Groups" (CLEAr)intends to built, on the European Citizenship concept, a “toolkit” for improving capacity of a range of people, socially and economically disadvantaged, that have suffered loss of self esteem and self worth due especially to their status of “minority” (ethnic, religious). This “label” and are increasingly in danger of isolation even within their own societies and became a serious obstruction in their self development and civic involvement.
Each partner has identified a local civic need and a group that will engage in the detailed work. Activities will include training sessions in personal development – in each partners’ country – and demarches for public involvement – in different ways each partner chooses: music and drama shows, public debates, communicating traditional skills and family learning outdoor and indoor actions.
The project provides, in each partner context, flexibility to develop appropriate action and allow participants with a range of identified needs, to develop managerial capacity both of the project and of their own personal needs and requirements.
The approach envisaged in the present project is polyvalent, general and interdisciplinary, particularly employing experimental and interactive methods associated to the creative process. It will be experiential in a non-formal and informal context exploring and using the existing skills and talents of the participants & developing, as necessary, appropriate new skills.
The “red line” of this approach is “the implication scale” – an eight level “stair” needed to be covered in order to gain the public opinion's support for each strategy, public politic or any other approach – particularly applied in this project in the Long Life Learning process. These eight important stages are: awareness -> informing -> communicating -> knowing -> participating -> involving -> engaging -> assuming.
The way from awareness to assuming is often difficult and asks a strong involvement both from institutions and persons which are participating at the educational act, together with a large participation of communities.
The activities are designed in order to getting over the path from awareness to assuming by involving the target groups in each stage and we expect – as a major impact – that almost 80% from our target to reach the assuming level in order to develop, after the end of the project, its multiplying effects.
Activities will include training sessions in personal development – in each partners’ country – and demarches for public involvement – in different ways each partner chooses: music and drama shows, public debates, communicating traditional skills and family learning outdoor and indoor actions.
Despre proiect
ReplyDeletePe fondul actualei crize economice, intreaga lume se confrunta cu o criza de identitate din ce in ce mai puternica, un tip de problema care cu cat este mai mare cu atat sunt mai complexe entitatile implicate. Intr-o structura atat de unica precum a fost Uniunea Europeana de cand s-a infiintat – sa devii din ce in ce mai diferit pe parcursul cresterii ei – in special odata cu “extinderea catre est”(unde “est-ul” este mai mult decat un punct cardinal, este un “mod de viata”) problemele de identiate au fost destul de puternice chiar si in “timpurile bune”. Insa, mult mai important este atat pentru UE (ca “templu cu trei piloni”- cum a fost proiectat prin Tratatul de la Maastricht) cat si pentru fiecare locuitor, trecerea prin intregul drum bazat pe “scara de implicare”(detaliata mai jos) – de la constientizarea conceptului de “cetatenie europeana” la asumarea principalelor valori europene.
Pe acest fundal, proiectul Civic Literacy and European Awareness for Minority Groups" (CLEAr)(trad. Educatie civica si constientizare asupra cetateniei europene pentru minoritati) tinde sa construiasca, pe baza conceptului de cetatenie europeana, o “trusa de unelte” pentru a imbunatatii capacitatea de a ajunge la oamenii social sau economic desavantajati, care au suferit pierderi de stima si respect personal datorita statutului lor de “minoritate”(etnica, religioasa). Aceasta etichetare este intr-un pericol de izolare in crestere chiar in propriile lor societati si a devenit o piedica serioasa in dezvoltarea lor personala si in implicarea civica.
Partenerii au identificat nevoi locale speciale si grupuri tinta care sunt representative pentru o parte din problemele cheie cu care se confrunta intreaga comunitate europeana si cu care proiectul va fi dezvoltat si va angrena aceste grupuri intr-o munca detaliata.
Acest proiect asigura, in contextul fiecarui partener, felxibilitate pentru a dezvolta actiuni adecvate si le permite participantilor cu o sfera de nevoi identificate, sa dezvolte capacitatati de conducator atat pentru proiect cat si pentru nevoile si cerintele lor personale.
Abordarea din proiectul prezent este polivalenta, generala si interdisciplinara, in special referindu-se la metode experimentale si interactive asociate procesului creativ. Va fi o abordare bazata pe experienta, intr-un context non-formal si informal care sa exploreze si sa utilizeze talentele si abilitatile participantilor, dezvoltand ca o necessitate noi abilitati adecvate.
“Firul rosu” al acestei abordari o reprezinta “scara de implicare” – o scara cu 8 trepte a trebuit sa fie acoperita pentru a castiga sprijinul opiniei publice pentru fiecare strategie, politica publica sau oricare alt mod de abordare – aplicat in special in acest proiect in procesul Long Life Learning(Invatare pe tot parcursul vietii). Aceste 8 etape importante sunt: constientizarea-> informarea-> comunicarea -> cunoasterea -> participarea ->implicarea -> angajamentul-> asumarea.
Drumul de la constientizare la asumare este deseori dificil si solicita o implicare puternica din partea institutiilor si a persoanelor care participa la actul educational, impreuna cu o larga participare a comunitatilor.
Activitatile sunt facute astfel incat sa se treaca de la constientizare la asumare prin implicarea grupurilor tinta in fiecare etapa. Ne-am asteptat –ca un impact major- ca aproape 80% din target-ul nostru sa atinga ultimul nivel (al asumarii) pentru a-si dezvolta dupa finalizarea proiectului, multiplele sale efecte.
Activitatile vor include sesiuni de pregatire in dezvoltarea personala – in fiecare tara partenera – si demersuri pentru implicarea publica – in moduri diferite pe care fiecare partener le alege: muzica si showuri de teatru, dezbateri publice, comunicari despre abilitati traditionale si actiuni de invatare in familie desfasurate in aer liber sau in clasa.
Il Progetto
ReplyDeleteIl mondo, a causa dell’attuale crisi economica sta affrontando una sempre più forte crisi di identità. Con l’allargamento dell’Europa questo fenomeno è diventato sempre più grande, e il percorso di consapevolezza di cittadinanza europea e valori Europei è diventato una sfida sempre più difficile.
I partners del progetto hanno quindi identificato dei bisogni specifici locali e dei gruppi beneficiari che rappresentano queste tematiche chiave in Europa e con cui sviluppare il progetto.
Il progetto “Civic Literacy and European Awareness for Minority Groups - (CLEAr)” intende costruire sul concetto di Cittadinanza Europea e permettere alle persone socialmente ed economicamente svantaggiate, che hanno una bassa auto-stima e sono a rischio di esclusione sociale, a causa del fatto di essere parte di un gruppo minoritario, di sentirsi cittadini attivi della società in cui vivono.
Ciascun partner ha identificato un gruppo locale che parteciperà ai lavori del progetto. Le attività prevedono sessioni formative per lo sviluppo personale su diverse tematiche: musica, teatro, abilità tradizionali, apprendimento in famiglia, danze popolari.
Il progetto offre la flessibilità di sviluppare diverse attività e permette ai partecipanti di identificare i propri bisogni, e sviluppare le proprie abilità personali.
L’approccio previsto quindi è polivalente e interdisciplinare con l’applicazione di metodi sperimentali e interattivi associate a processi creativi. L’apprendimento sarà esperienziale in contesti non-formali e informali.
