Project
40 people at the age of 18 to 27 try to discover and define what notions of nation and patriotism mean nowadays for young generation. How much does nationality influence our identity? How can we define the patriotism of today without falling into the trap of nationalism?
As participants, you look for the meaning of the key words: nation, patriotism, nationalism in the past as well as in the political and social debate of the 21st century.
Furthermore in a series of interviews with young people from your countries you research and analyse opinions of the young generation. The results of the research will be composed and published at the end of the project. Parallel to the political and historical analysis a series of workshops on nationality and identity take place.
The project consists of two parts. All participants should be present during both meetings.
Meeting I
Nation and Identity: Define, Debate, Understand
Krzyżowa (Poland): 23.- 29.02.212
Meeting II
Nation and Identity: Conclude and Spread the Word
Padua (Italy): 11.-17.6.2012
The project combines formal and non-formal educational methods. At the end a brochure with project results prepared and edited by the participants will be published.
