PROJECT TITLE: New World Formula

PROJECTDESCRIPTION:

In a partnership that includes Portugal, Cape Verde, China, Italy, Switzerland and Peruarises the project New World Formula. Putting the principle of participatory democracyas a main factor in development as the heart of the methodological and reflective

process, New World Formula team wants to give form to the "Development Challenge"initiative.

The project intends to shape the partners network "Development Challenge" through thecreation of the spaces "Development Action Labs". The main objectives are: to enableyoung people to try and strengthen the practice of participatory democracy as a factor ofdevelopment with the practices of non-formal education; reflect the themes ofdemocratic participation of young people in schools (the role of student unions, amongothers),combating poverty and social exclusion and sustainable development based onthe "Development Challenge"; promote citizenship education in juvenile communitieswith less opportunities (with youngsters that live in institutions and poor rural areaswhere the project will work) through the spaces "Development Action Labs"; discloseand reflect the youth association movement as a privileged practice of participatory

democracy and promotion of new practices of inclusion and sustainable development.With this objectives in mind the project New World Formula will give life to the"Development Challenge" initiative, putting in contest action plans for local actions inthree different categories: a) democratic participation of young people in schools; b)combating poverty and social exclusion; c) sustainable development.

The action plans should have a minimum of 6 months and a maximum of 10 months,having a base and a well-defined audience, mainly young people at risk. May join the"Development Challenge" all local action plans generated from the spaces"Development Action Labs" (DAL), which will be created by the project, school centresand other youth organizations that develop a relevant role in the area. The jury will becomposed of youth from each existing DAL, representatives of the technical team of theproject and representatives of the political class (policy makers). The winner of each

category will see their path and experience of work published in the "New Word Formula - Ideas to change the world."

We estimate the DAL spaces created by the project will achieve a youth population thatexceeds 400 young people in six countries. Spaces will be managed by the local youthgroups of intervention in an integrated and coordinated action in their communities in asocial and political context. These spaces will be focused on a methodology based onthe assumptions of representative democracy: with an election system itself and with thecreation and vote for a local action plan.

PROJECT TITLE: Flag it! Using dig ital tools to map environmental issues

PROJECTDESCRIPTION:

"Flag it!" aims at equipping young people interested in media with the tools they need toraise awareness of global environmental challenges by bridging social media,

technology and scientific information.

Venues: Brussels - Belgium, Bucharest- Romania, Sao Paulo - Brazil, Legazpi -Philippines, Lagos - Nigeria.

48 young people from the partner countries will participate in the seminars and will learnhow to use technology and social media in order to report about environmental issues.

The training sessions on environmental issues and data visualization for environmentalpurposes, will enable the participants to: set up their own web platforms using tools readily available online; get familiar with free digital mapping tools; explore databases and websites which contain information that might be useful on

the local context; train their skills while creating maps or stories thanks to the tools they familiarized

with; go on field trips where they will be able to related some of the issues handled

during classes.

Expected outcomes and impact:Participants will be equipped with skills to use technology, social media and datavisualization to map environmental problems in their region. They will put to test theirnewly-acquired skills by going back in their communities and using what they havelearned to flag environmental challenges in their region. Forty-eight stories will beproduced as a follow up activity.

The project will enhance young people's abilities to use the tools they already use in anew way, to discover and map environmental challenges and to raise awareness amongother young people in their communities. Participants will thus enhance theirunderstanding of active participation in society and will work together with young peoplefrom other continents to tackle and raise awareness of the global issues of environmentand climate changes.

The stories produced by the young participants will be disseminated through socialmedia by the partners of the projects and by the participants and will also be promotedthrough other communication channels of the partners, such as newsletter, websitesand partners' networks. Participants will be taught to replicate the training they receivedand spread the knowledge they gained among other young people.
