About the project:
Young people are our future, everywhere in Europe. In a few years they will take responsibility for our societies. However, a lot of young people all over Europe don't have the ambition, inspiration and motivation to take an active lead not only in school, but in creating a successful future. They are seen to feel insecure in the face of the economically and financially tense situation in Europe. They wonder how their lives in the future will look like and ask themselves questions such as "How and where will I live?", "How will my environment change?", "Will I have a family?", "What work would I like to pursue?", "What kind of training and education as well as skills in various aspects of life such as communication will I need?" and "How can I prepare best to meet future challenges?"
Aims:
The focus of the project "Our lives In 20 years" is to discuss and carry out a versatile set of transnational activities about the future developments and changes in the fields of energy, education, communication, employment, housing and family life. We will shed light to the current situation in the participating countries and try to foresee the changes that may take place within the next years. These changes will affect the generation of our students in various aspects of their lives. Regardless of their home country, young people in Europe are all facing similar questions as to what their future life will look like.
Work progress:
We are going to work together with six partners (Lemgo/Germany, Most/Czech Republic, Champagnole/France, Catania/Italy, Nasielsk/Poland, Edinburgh/Scotland) we found via eTwinning for 2 years.
