"Youth Action" dissemination project carried out in Estonia
On December 3rd, at AJITER's facilities, the participants of the “Juvenile Union” project promoted an action to disseminate the results and their experience in this initiative among other young people.
It took place on the 5th and 12th of September, in which four young people from Terceira and a leader participated, in Tammispea, on the outskirts of Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, in the project “Youth Union: Building Bridges in the EU Erasmus + Youth Exchange ” within the scope of the well-known Erasmus+ program that AJITER has been promoting on the island of Terceira. Carolina Costa, Mariana Morais, Leonor Raimundo, João Miranda and Raquel Bilro headed to this Baltic capital where they carried out various training and informative activities with the aim of increasing young people's knowledge and interest in European political issues, allowing future generations they do not feel alienated from European politics and understand the importance that supranational political processes have in their day-to-day lives, as well as understanding the basic values and concepts associated with them.
In total, the joint project involved around 25 young people from Estonia, Spain, Turkey and Portugal, also counting, as is characteristic of Erasmus+ projects, with a strong intercultural component. Since 2012, AJITER – Associação Juvenil da Ilha Terceira has been doing a lot of work in boosting the Erasmus+ program on the island of Terceira and in the Azores in general, providing young people with this type of mobility experiences with learning objectives.
Furthermore, AJITER is also part of the European Network “EURODESK” providing information and opportunities for young people in these fields at its facilities. As until now, with more than 20 years of work on behalf of young people, we will continue to develop these efforts.
