Co-building an Erasmus+ made up European Union.

From 28th november to 1st dicember Europe HOpes have had the pleasure to support the direction of the project I.T.Y.I., International Training for Youth Integration, settled in Catania and funded wihin the Erasmus+ project.
Indeed, when we have co-written down this project it was astonishing thinking about the fact that many people, mostly unknown, would have travelled around Europe to a unique destination to meet each other, discuss, building theirselves, finding new friends and so many other things we couldn't imagine yet.

Then, it is really happened that 24 youth workers, better renamed as "youth activators", has gathered and worked together to take inspiration on how the Erasmus Generation can be empowered in a better participated and inclusive society. Furthermore, a part of the knowledge and skills learned and developed during this 4 days, what that impressed us mostly has been the unique quality that the Erasmus Plus project have, which is the aptitude to make people never met before, becoming, only in 4 days, such as brothers and citizens of the same Europe.

So we have seen people initially so far, grow day by day as a unique and solidar team, smiling in front of a closed gate of an ancient greek theatre in Syracuse, smartly selfing all together and at the end, ready to depart with new ideas and projects to meet each other again in a close future to co-build - we may surely said so - this - Erasmus+ made up European Union.
