Day 10 ✅ Opportunities, Teamwork, and Action Planning
Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps (ESC) are transformative programs designed to empower youth by providing opportunities for mobility, learning, and solidarity. Through these initiatives, young people can engage in projects that drive personal growth and create a positive impact within their communities.
🎯 Presentation of Erasmus+ and Youth Opportunities:
The day began with a theoretical session led by the facilitator, introducing participants to the aims, objectives, and opportunities of Erasmus+ and ESC programs. The presentation highlighted Mobilities for Youth and Solidarity Projects, followed by group discussions on how these programs can benefit participants and their peers. The session also included sharing best practices, success stories, and exploring additional youth opportunities participants brought to the table.
🎭 Survival Challenge:
Next, participants engaged in the "Bunker Game," an interactive role-playing activity simulating a high-pressure survival scenario. Each participant advocated for their character, emphasizing their skills and potential contributions. This exercise challenged participants to navigate ethical dilemmas, group dynamics, and decision-making under resource constraints. It was a dynamic way to practice teamwork and critical thinking.
🔍 Actions in Process!:
In the afternoon, participants shifted focus to addressing real-world issues in their communities. They began by identifying problems related to youth participation, which were grouped into themes for collaborative project planning. Working in small groups, participants:
Analyzed issues and explored if they aligned with Erasmus+ objectives.
Defined SMART goals to address their chosen problems.
Developed action plans, including project activities, target groups, resources, and expected impact.
Created detailed program drafts, ensuring visibility and result dissemination.
The session concluded with group presentations, where participants received feedback to refine their ideas, identify risks, and plan for collaboration.
🌟 Comfy Group Reflection:
The day ended with a reflective moment, allowing participants to share their thoughts on the activities and connect personal insights with the broader goals of the exchange.
