One year has passed from the launching conference of the project WISE – While Innovating and Strengthening Europe, in Rome. Since then, the 16 project partners have implemented their local processes on the field, involving citizens’ groups – especially disadvantaged people, young citizens and minorities – in the reflection on the European Union past, present and future.

Want to see what the project partners did in the past year? Have a look at the video of the project! The local path has followed the same implementation in all the 16 countries involved: 16 countries, 25 participants per event, 3 events per country:
#1 – EU LEARN: How could you think about something that you don’t know? That’s why all the partners focused the first activity on raising awareness about the history and the functioning of the European Union, using participatory and non-formal tools
#2 – EU REFLECT: Nothing is perfect, but all together we can always improve the situation! Once the participants have learned more about the European Union they have started the reflection on the challenges and the next steps of this big amazing project that the EU is. World cafés, open discussions, surveys and role plays are only few of the participatory tools that have been used.
#3 – EU ACT: Don’t lose time complaining! Playing an active role in finding solutions is way more interesting! All the citizens involved in the project implementation have been working on producing outputs and innovative way to foster EU understanding and to improve citizens’ participations all over enlarged Europe. Games, theatre plays, recommendations, campaigns, manifestos, quiz and much more!

On 14th March the REDE LDBC Lisboa, the Portuguese partner of the WISE Project, hosted its final international conference, where MEP candidates, representatives of the EU Institutions as well as representatives of local authorities, civil society organizations and citizens discussed about the challenges identified during the implementation of the local processes: European citizenship meaning, Erasmus as a fundamental experience, the unknown daily impact of the EU in our life, the “drain brain” issue and obviously the upcoming European Elections. 2019 is the last year of the project and the project partners are now working on the production of the final E-publication that will collect and present all the participatory tools used and elaborated during the implementation of the project. For more info on the project, have a look on its page on our website and stay tuned!
