PROJECT
​
With the creativity and initiative of all the young people involved in the activity carried out during the project we will work:
- Awareness of how dependent we are on the media and technologies
- Transmission of good practices
- Potential and good use of media and technologies
Together with the objectives of the project, we place the emphasis on the recognition of non-formal learning. With this objective in mind, we aim to increase the value of non-formal education during the project. This will be done throughout the whole activities Through this project and with the different tools used in it we are working in parallel with the objectives of the program ERASMUS +:
- Increasing emancipation and self-esteem.
- Improving foreign language skills.
- Increasing intercultural awareness.
- More active participation in society.

DIGITAL (RE)BALANCE
​
Within this project "Digital (Re)Balance" we will implement 3 activities: a training course, an advanced planning visit and a youth exchange. Participants profile is divided into 2, the first one for the training course and the second for the APV and youth exchange.
​
1) Training course" Build Your Balance" comes from the following experiences: Young workers in non-governmental organizations with a specific interest in acquiring training and facilitating skills. Young workers who want to improve their experience and who are interested in creating similar experiences for someone new. The project is designed to bring together young people who want to improve their quality of life, who want to learn how to use new means to create more opportunities for themselves. Young trainers in ERASMUS+ projects who want to better understand and participate in projects from a new perspective. Young people from opposite parts of Europe and not only will gather in a single place, location among other things chosen specifically for the characteristics that distinguish it including the lack of internet access, so as to create a culturally rich and diverse environment.
2) Youth exchange “Back To The Roots” The aim is to involve young people with fewer opportunities, such as lack of opportunities to access information on issues related to social media addiction or young people working in such contexts. In English, they are called "Social Network addiction" and are a sort of dependence on connecting, updating and controlling one's own web page and on friendship (also called friend dependence), or rather the search for new virtual friendships to be recorded on one's profile. Unfortunately, even these addictions present worrying symptoms of Craving, Tolerance, and Abstinence, just as it happens in addictions to substances or other new types of addiction, also in recent years in dangerous and rapid growth. Teenagers living in homes and even more in situations with high technological content, accustomed to using new technologies since childhood to play, communicate, keep up to date, learn and shop, are defined as digital natives. The target group of the project is 18-25 years old, an age group in which the use of media and technologies is intrinsically normal from an early age.
