“South Caucasus – A Part of Europe” offers new perspectives from the South Caucasus providing a forum for young people to share their concerns. Armenian, Azerbaijani and Georgian youngsters are trained to work with different media (foto, video, radio, print) and by these means share their views,life perspectives and opinions on development issues in their countries with peers from Austrian and Lithuanian schools who are trained to work with media as well . The youngsters’ creations will be the base of a comprehensive awareness campaign (including exhibitions, publications, workshops, discussions and other public activities) from autumn 2008 till end of 2009. |

This project aims at promoting Development Education within the educational sector across Europe, focusing specifically on Lithuania, Cyprus, Scotland, Ireland and Bulgaria. This project acknowledges the fact that highly valuable Development Education material has been developed, however it recognises the difficulties of teachers and educators to access the existent material, as well as to apply these resources to their local or national educational context. More specifically, the project addresses the lack of access to, as well as the need for, Development Education material by teachers, educators, youth trainers and other actors across Europe, and especially in those countries that have joined the EU only recently. |
