1. Project summary, objectives& main activities

Summary CREATE and MOTIVATE training course aims at stimulating young people’s ambition and

internal motivation, creativity and entrepreneurship in particular through youth initiatives, giving

young people competencies to become a more active and informed citizen of their society. This

training is going to provide skills and competencies to gain knowledge about poverty,

marginalization, social inclusion, sustainable peace, human rights, anti-discrimination policies

and social cohesion. Focusing on volunteering, misperceptions and intolerances are broken

down, creating a more peaceful global society. Youth workers and youth leaders will be able to

strengthen their personal, social and professional abilities; to promote active participation of

youth with fewer opportunities and to increase their employability through their personal

empowerment. NGO CDIR will host the TC in Causeni, Moldova from 16-05-2014 to 22-05-2014.

The group formed by 28 participants from 8 different countries (EU + EECA countries) with a

vast array of ethnic, religious, social, and economic backgrounds, will have the opportunity to

create and motivate, to share their experiences, discover the needs of their communities,

simulate realistic youth initiatives, lead and be led by each other, and learn through the use of

non-formal methods: games, exercises, group presentations, workshops, role plays, open space,

team building, and healthy lifestyle-promoting outdoor activities. The participants will also have

the opportunity to become acquainted with Moldova and its culture. As an outcome the

participants are expected to act as multipliers of the project for greater social and community

involvement in the framework of YIA Program, with the task being to raise motivation among

youth; implement local and international activities for encouraging and enabling young people to

behave as active, informed citizens; and utilize YIA opportunities.
