RETHINKING YOUTH - The Future in our Hands
a project organized by Emilio Carbajo Vazquez, Jelena Todic & Elisabetta Marinoni and supervised by Eleni Kavazidou
Because of the European Youth Week, WE, from Esai en Roi Cultural Organization of Macedonia - Thrace (Thessaloniki, Greece) propose a sociological and informative activity. The aim is to find out how European youth think about the main issues that affect us as global citizens.
From the following topics: Career development, Solidarity, Art and culture, Personal development, Health and Quality of life; We will prepare a series of interviews with young Greek people between 18 and 28 years old and will be published daily during the youth week. We propose that those young people from all Europe who want to join with their motivation, knowledge and dedication, can participate on the preparation of these interviews in their respective countries.
Through this activity we can know at first-hand, what is the thinking of the youth about these important issues. The future is in the hands of the youth, so knowing how we think and rethink these things is the only guide that will show us what our future will be like.
