3e project (empower, encourage engage), a project which gathered together different nationalities under the same roof in Thessaloniki, Greece on Dec 12-17.
Aim of the project was to provide the participants with skills and knowledge on the pros and cons of digital tools, critical thinking and active engagement in community development.
Objectives of the project were:
– train today’s youth on the uses of digital tools, their pros and cons;
– develop constant critical thinking, in both digital and non-digital’s forms -make knowledgeable decisions independently,
– give them the means to be the diligent and self-empowered actors of today’s society,
-connect and network responsibly and more widely,
-become active citizens and become self confidence in the community development
– cultivate cultural awareness
Here our participant shares his experience with us. Check it out below.
Crazy hectic times with a crazy team in 3E project in Thessaloniki. For the second time I was traveling to Thessaloniki for the same project, however, this time it was for discussing local workshops and looking back in time to see how we contributed to changes. Apparently, a lot has happened within 6 months. The aim of the follow-up project is to gather all the nations and discuss what we have achieved so far during local workshops, talk about the process, and what we gave out to the community. As an opportunity, it gave me chance to learn more about training and local workshop processes, meet new extraordinary people and enjoy the beauty of Thessaloniki once again. Highlights are a lot for the project, however, one is significant; the Erasmus exchange project gives you a chance to be yourself and learn more about you and others, take part in different workshops and see how non-formal education can run a big spectrum of educational institutions. Besides all the education and fun you receive, lifelong friendships can be built up in the created environment, where you start sharing and caring for others, plan trips to different countries, and maybe find someone who will share your life with some time after.
