I-WHY A EUROPEAN AGENDA?





The European Youth Agenda originally emerged as a synthesis of brainstorming that our group performed at the onset of labor to decide how to celebrate the upcoming May 9 so that such an event and its meaning could reach the maximum number of people. We found an Agenda meets several interesting conditions:
   ● On the one hand, is a practical and functional mean of transmitting information, manageable and easy to transport, widely used among young people, serving even diary, and can be consulted at any time, by necessity or curiosity.
   ● A daily calendar is used repeatedly with different purposes and, therefore, becomes a means of transmission and dissemination of important information among young people. We intended that the means of transmission could be "used" repeatedly, they had to "read and watch", accompany continuously for consultation, it was "soaking" gradually to its user, not just how to use a message Mobile you just erased and that no record. Our ultimate aim is that information could be "read every day" for all European citizens. That the Agenda becomes an intimate element of the person using it.
   ● Finally, an agenda is likely to capture the multidisciplinary nature that carries information on Europe. Through an agenda can be channeled interesting information of various kinds for the young:
   ● Citizenship: information relating to the rights that every European citizen has to possess such a condition.
   ● Websites relating to their studies
   ● Exchanges with young people from other countries for various purposes, not only linguistic
   ● Event daily showing the construction of the EU
   ● Weird News
   ● Spaces of reflection: the ecology and the environment, sustainable development, illegal immigration, European and other "European issues" related are entirely valid and we pretended that our agenda is a channel of information and awareness for young citizens. When we got down to the work we discovered that there was another additional reason, in part mentioned already, to draw up a European agenda of these characteristics: the activity had an interdisciplinary character, and this meant that up to 4 teaching departments saw our center involved in its implementation and advice in various aspects: historical milestones of the EU, distribution of species across the continent, text translation, design, etc.. There are usually many reasons for different departments to work together.
II-OBJECTIVES.

With this work we would like:
· Contribute to the realization that the EU is still a process construction since 1945 in which all European citizens are called to take part.
· Introduce the EU to its citizens living space where we all move.
· To contribute to mutual understanding between European countries, not only through common natural heritage and unites us possess, but also through languages ​​of Europe. The ultimate vocation of the agenda would be that it can be read both a Norwegian and a Spanish or Portuguese.
· To provide an intimate and personal tool that can be used daily for any young of any European nationality to serve you reminder of the previous mentioned premises.
· Encourage young students to participate in the numerous projects mobility of people sponsoring the EU aimed at the realization of study or work practices outside the country of origin: Comenius, Erasmus, Leonardo, etc.
· Consequently, closer ties between European citizens, giving us know each other…
