DEVELOP

DEVELOP is a youth exchange that will be hosted by the students, in Bacau, promoting the active youth participation within the development of the European citizenship concept. For 8 days, 30 youngsters, from 6 countries, will debate upon the important of the European citizenship and of the rights and duties assigned to this statute and will also acknowledge the developments enacted through the Lisbon Treaty, especially regarding the development of the social dimension of the EU, reinforced, especially through the social dialogue and through the European citizenship. In an intercultural context, the 30 youngsters, will also debate upon the actual crisis that the EU is facing and on the importance of the solidarity and social cohesion to overpass this crisis situation. Thus, the exchange we are proposing will reinforce the priorities of 2010 as the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion and through the DEVELOP FlashMob the importance of the active youth participation especially through the volunteering activities, integrating as well the priorities of 2011 as the European Year of Volunteering.
