DescriptionOpen Campus is a project designed by Youth for Exchange and Understanding (YEU), in cooperation with its partners, with the aim to raise awareness on social inclusion among young people and promote advocacy on social rights by using new media tools. Starting from January 2013 and being completed by July 2014, Open Campus gave the opportunity to young people to be active participants in the process of improving their society’s everyday problems concerning marginalization, social rights, young migrants, disabled youth, Roma communities, unemployed youth… The primary goals of the project are to: - raise awareness on social inclusion among young people and develop their competences on those willing to work on social inclusion & marginalization; - increase participation of young people for advocacy on social rights for equal opportunities and inclusion; - provide knowledge and skills for young people on advocacy and policy making; - increase the involvement of non-organized youth and youth from different backgrounds by using new media and social networking; - provide a space for young people to express themselves and reflect their ideas, opinions, experiences particularly on social inclusion and social rights; Throughout the project, we spoke with young people coming from around Europe about what is social inclusion and how to make our communities more inclusive. This is what they told us! Supported by Youth in Action programme. Music by L FREE - http://soundcloud.com/lfree
