We are pleased to let you know that we are recruiting participants for an amazing youth project that aims to connect, engage, and empower young people!
If you are a young artist and a creative individual with an interest in scriptwriting and want to learn more about the European values, the 11 youth goals, media literacy, misinformation, and the world of film production, then this project is a perfect fit for you!
Participating in the VISYON project will allow you to familiarize yourself with the necessary tools to communicate your needs and desires, as well as express your concerns and challenges in a targeted manner. Additionally, the project aims to encourage a discussion on the effectiveness of current European policies related to the needs of European youth and how to improve them.
As a project partner, FECE will organize local workshops and debates during which you (groups of 8-10 young people) will first become familiar with the 11 youth goals and corresponding policies, second, be trained to present yourself and your opinions in front of various institutions, third, be instructed on how to develop and publish content responsibly, avoiding the risk of misleading information, and last but not least, learn how to inspire your fellow citizens to share their own stories and opinions publicly.
Subsequently, each group will choose a topic (corresponding to one of the 11 European youth goals) around which they will create short film scripts. The eleven scripts will be finalized during an International Youth Mobility in Athens and then turned into short films with the support of a professional film agency, marking the beginning of the first European series completely written and realized by young people.
The project involves an international consortium of non-governmental organizations from various parts of Europe, including Greece, Bulgaria, Italy, Slovakia, the Netherlands, Spain, and Malta, which will work together for a period of 24 months with the aim of connecting, engaging, and empowering young people. The international youth exchange in Athens is planned for the beginning of 2024.
The profile of the participants is focused on young people aged 18 to 29 who are interested in developing their skills in screenwriting and deepening their knowledge on the topic of the 11 European youth goals. The number of participants is 8 to 10 young people aged 18 to 29.
The application process is open now until April 30, 2023. You can register here and

We are looking forward to see you as a participant!
