Na tem dogodku bo sodelovalo 15 mladih iz Litve in 25 mladih iz Slovenije. Ta dogodek ima več ciljev in sicer:
- predstavitev problematike mladih v Litvi in Sloveniji, primerjava različnih praks in iskanja rešitev;
- evalvacija poteka projektnih aktivnosti v obeh državah;
- načrtovanje in priprava za jesenske aktivnosti projekta;
- načrtovanje novih projektov po zaključku tega projekta;
- simulacija evropskega parlamenta in priprava poslanice z zahtevami po ureditvi položaja mladih na nivoju EU, ki jo bodo jeseni predali evropskim poslancem v Sloveniji in Litvi, v živo preko interneta pa bo posredovana predsedniku Evropskega parlamenta in članom in članicam komisije za mlade in izobraževanje.
Metodologija: predavanja (ne več kot 20%), predstavitve, vodeni pogovori, vaje, individualni in skupinski nastopi, plenarne razprave, debate, analiza tekstov, simulacija zasedanja Evropskega parlamenta, individualno in skupinsko delo.
Program
Natančen program po dnevih bo izdelan v maju in juniju in bo produkt vseh štirih partnerjev. Okvirno lahko sedaj napovemo, da bomo za simluacijo zasedanja Evropskega parlamenta namenili dva dni in pol, da bo vsaj en dan namenjen izmenjavi izkušenj na osnovi že izpeljanih projektnih aktivnosti, en dan namenjen pripravam na okrogle mize z odločevalci, internetne debate in nacionalne mladinske forume in vsaj en dan namenjen predstavitvi programov Mladi v akciji in načrtovanju prihodnjih skupnih projektov.
