Good luck

Good luck to all participants representing Momentum World, and the UK. We have great expectations for this project and the positive relationships that will be built between young people from all the countries represented. We hope to see reports, pictures and interviews here from as many people as possible, in English, Spanish or any of the other languages spoken in the group!

Robyn

My name is Robyn Stankus, from the UK and I am 20 year old second year student at Edge Hill University. I study Criminology and Sociology with a great interest in Youth. I also volunteer at Wigan Youth Zone twice a week and have been doing so since the start of 2014. I believe in grabbing every opportunity that comes to you with both hands and enjoying every second life gives to you.

I have been privileged enough to be able to go on a family holiday every summer since I can remember. I have also travelled internationally the past two years just with friends so am very comfortable travelling. 

I am interested in this amazing project as I have always wanted to work with youths and helping youths progress which fits perfectly with this project. I also have volunteered myself so I am aware of how great it is first hand to get involved and how many benefits there are to doing so!

My hopes of this project is that I am able to take the knowledge and skills learnt over in Spain and proactively use it and make a positive and progressive impact in my own community. My only fear of the project is if I had to speak publically, however I am sure I will feel comfortable enough within the group and will give it my all!!!

I would to take away gained knowledge, amazing memories and a good foundation to continue upon.

I aim to give my all and 100000000% into this project

can't wait to get stuck in!

Introducing the project

The main aims of this project are:

• To empower potential young European entrepreneurs
• To develop personal, professional and social skills among participants
• To develop Information & Communication Technology Skills
• To transform young Europeans into active European citizens
• To identify similarities and common values that young Europeans share, despite the cultural and socio‐economic differences between northern and southern Europe, in order to conceive an inclusive Europe.

The project consists of two working weeks (multilateral exchanges) and the implementation of selected youth initiatives, with the permanent use of ICT in order to generate new knowledge. The first exchange will take place from 16 to 21 June in Salamanca, Spain. The second one will take place from 29 September to 4 October (location to be confirmed). Between the first and the second exchange, participants will implement their own youth initiatives, supported by the organizers of the training course.

Participants will come from Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom.

The project is an initiative of Biderbost, Boscan and Rochin, supported by the EU Youth in Action Programme.
