Young energy for better and resilent Europe

In Flamingo hotel in Albena resord

The DESIRE workshop held in Bulgaria aimed to raise people and especially youth’s awareness on the historical importance and the meaning of the Declaration of Schuman for the EU.

The main idea was to actively involve citizens in approaching history in a proactive way.

By using a peer to peer approach, participants were involved in illustrating and sharing with other youths what the Declaration is and what has been its role in the constitution of the Community.

As a result of the open discussion at the and of the workshop, we concluded that through the co-creation of artistic tools, we will design street dance spectacle which will accompany groups of youth citizens in re-discovering history and in debating on EU values as intercultural dialogue, peace and solidarity.

This innovative and participative methodology aims to stimulate youngsters’ critical thinking and to put together the basis for a stronger and more conscious EU.

On the occasion of the 70th anniv. of the Declaration, UBBSLA will reflect on the importance of “Solidarity” to which Schuman referred as the first result for the creation of the EU.
