The Story of My EUROTRIP Journey

A COMIC STRIP

Scenario: Group 2 Drawings & Colors Group 2 Group 2, ERASMUS+ project EUROTRIP participants 2017, Poronin, Poland

Project "Eurotrip" is our idea – young people from Poland, Bulgaria and Italy. The project is a combination of passion of traveling and European topics (EU, its history, mechanisms, European institutions and how they work). Our international project consists of 3 phases: preparation, youth exchange in Poronin (from 11th to 18th of October 2017) and dissemination of results.

The project will be attended by 36 people from Poland, Bulgaria and Italy (each group consists of 2 group leaders and 10 participants aged 16-20). 21 people are people with fewer opportunities (economic difficulties and learning disabilities).

The aim of the project is to gain new knowledge and skills related with main topic – EU, its history, mechanisms of functioning and European institutions and to become a citizen and European who is aware of European reality. As a young people, whose passion is traveling, we have decided to expand our European topics and to gain also a knowledge about places, related with the EU and their material culture.

During the project we will communicate in English and use methods of non-formal education such as: thematic sessions, integration games, meetings with experts, city game, work in groups, discussions, meetings with community, evaluations, national evenings etc.

Within the project we will create a guide "European travel guide" and photo album with descriptions of our activities.

As participants we will gain new knowledge, skills and attitudes related to the main topic of the project. We will develop our hobbies, language skills, strengthen national cooperation and make new international friends. We hope that our project will encourage our peers to organize similar projects. We believe that our project will raise awareness of young poeple from our local communities how important is knowledge about European Union which we live in, being citizen who is aware of European topics and developing of passions and hobbies which strongly influence our future.
