Mobility Project 

GENERAL INFORMATION

Creactive Lycian Youth Project is a Youth Mobility Project to be organized between the dates of 21st April- 4th May 2015 (13 nights, 14 days) by the Lycian Pathfinders Youth Group. (We expect the announcement of the project application latest in January 2016.) 

There will be two Project Bases which are Demre and Kas. We will also have 3 days of trekking and camping from Demre to Kas including project activities designed for these 3 days. 

The project is including 6 partners + Lycian Pathfinders (TR).  All teams will have 1 leader and 4 participants between the ages of 18-29 considering the gender balance. 

Active participation of participants is a must for the project. Participants will be asked to co-operate with other participants to comment on and help/suggest for designing the activities.

We do want to co-operate with the partner for the application procedure and designing the activities accordingly with the project objectives. Functional co-operation with partners is a major importance for Lycian Pathfinders. 

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

Creactive Lycian Youth (CLY) Project is related with "encouraging the participation of young people in democratic life in Europe" as stated in the Lisbon Treaty.

CLY Project primarily targeting to make a contribution to increase Youth's active and sufficient participation at social and democratic life at national and European levels.

The Project Objectives are: 

1- Supporting young people to recognize the natural/usual links between social life and democratic life especially by means of sport and cultural activities. 

2- Increasing the young people's sense of belonging to EU values/EU citizenship and  supporting them to increase their will to be participatory for the future of their societies. 

3- Improving young people's self-confidence and competences in order to foster them to have a voice and to speak with their own words for the terms of Democracy, Citizenship, EU Citizenship and Active Participation.

* We would like to add "intercultural learning" and "cultural diversity" dimension to the themes of Active Citizenship and EU Citizenship.
