In last years, members and staffs of the organizations involved collected an expertise of best practices, experiences, instruments in non profit and Youth fields that is a patrimony to not to lose and that can be the driving force of new actions and projects.Through this expertise, lots of organizations involved in non profit and youth fields today register some fundamental problems about young generations:- young people in general are often identified in negative terms,- frequently, in mass media storytellings, young people are conneted only to problems about job insecurity, life precarity, unemployment, familiar instability,- often they are mentioned as generations of social network life, without having moral and ethic values of previous generation.This kind of narration, also if sometimes is connected to facts and reality, often assumes a predominant and unlimited dimension, with some dangerous effects:- the general image of young generation is basically negative, because young people today are identified as the generation of precarity, of values crisis, of cultural poor levels,- lot of young people “absorb” this image of themselves, in this way losing trust in the future, confidence in being satisfied from their committments in differnt aspects of life,- scepticism, for lot of young people, to having the possibility of changing the world around them, about their personal lives but also about collective paths and communities, so, as consequence, the increasing of individualism attitude, with less attention to common good and the spreading of the mistrust to others, to who’s considered “different”, to changes.But in spite of this negative image, In the world there are lots of young people with good ideas, with innovating projects, with positive experiences. So, it is fundamental to change the predominant narration of young generations, to clip over cliches about young people, for promoting the positive narration and letting know best pracices, virtuos experiences and innovative ideas born by young generation, with particular focus on non profit fields. In this way the project aims to promote a positive narration to the people in general, promoting role models that will stimulate activation and initiative spirit.For reaching that purposes, the project foresees local and international activities, in particular:- identifying and mapping best practices and innovating experienes in non profit fields created by young people in countries involved,- creating a web platform able to collect and promote the role models;- realising two mobility events (a Training Course and a Youth Exchange) aimed to give youth workers and young people instruments and skills for realising positive and innovating ideas and projects,- realising a Capacity Building international event for improving the network between the partners and for creating together new projects for promoting positive attitude and initiative spirit of young people, for young people.
