THE YOUNG SIDE OF THE MOON

The project “The Young Side of the Moon” aims at promoting the exchanges and cooperation in the field of youth between youth organisations engaged in community development from different World-contexts (Italy, Senegal, Kenya, India, Vietnam, Latvia, Greece, Cyprus).

The project will focus on how the global crisis affects young people in its multi-dimensions. Different youth needs around the world will be addressed according to a creative approach experimented by PRISM, which is based on using the concept album of Pink Floyd entitled "The Dark Side of the Moon". Therefore, according to the sequence of the songs contained in the album, the following topics will be addressed: Economic Crisis (Track: Money), Crisis of cultural references and values (Tracks: On the run / breathe), Migrations and Inclusion (Track: Us and them), Environment (Track: Eclipse). The project includes different mobility activities of youth workers: N.1 Training Course (IT) + N.4 Job Shadowing activities hosted in the Partner Countries involved. The TC will provide a non-formal and creative training on the Project Cycle Management linked to the concept of Nonviolent Community Development, equipping youth workers with knowledge, key competences and learning tools needed for the development and delivery of community-based projects. The job shadowing activities will offer a reciprocal opportunity for practical learning experience, good practice exchange, key competences acquisition, long-term partnership building. The overall goal is to engage youth workers to step up into leadership roles in their local and global communities as agent and multipliers for sustainable co-development and growth.
