Involve! Include! Improve!
As a social enterprise supporting young people, YDV participates in many festivals and events in the city of Sheffield, offering in particular children activities, including games and craft workshops. Alongside these activities, we always want to organise something to explain our involvement in Erasmus+ programme and promote our international projects.
With this purpose we’ve created a little game called “The European Challenge”, a simple activity where the participants have to pick a European country name from a hat and place it on a blank map. The game has proved to be an effective way to engage people, talk to them about EVS and Youth Exchanges and stimulate their curiosity about Europe and youth mobility. The EVS team we are hosting had a big role running this activity, sharing their experience and talking about their countries. Interacting with children and parents we noticed how, even after Brexit, british people are still interested in other European countries and their culture. Through this game we managed also to engage with young people in the EVS age group and explain more thoroughly how the programme is structured and what are the advantages to take part in it. The result of this little experiment were encouraging, allowing us to promote our international work even during events not strictly related to this area of interest. Improving this activity and developing similar others will therefore be a task we will work on to share our values and engage more people in European projects. This event targeted to showcase the relation between child labor, inescapable poverty and our beloved product, chocolate, by projecting the documentary "The Dark Side of Chocolate". Afterwards there were follow-up discussions about how "fair" are the products we consume, where they come from, how are they produced, what is our role in this and how we can act through just an app on our smartphones. For this event we cooperated with Fair Trade Hellas.
FB Event Went & Interested: 80 & 360 On June 29 we organize meeting with youth during which we presented the Erasmus + program. During the meeting, the participants got acquainted with the Erasmus + program, got to know its details and key actions. We also presented projects that our foundation implements and we planned future activities for our new members.
