Over five consecutive days, fifty young participants took part in the joint activity organized in Lebanon by LDN, Caritas and Scholas Occurrentes.
The workshops fall within the framework of THYME Project, “Transferring (Feet), Head, Heart, Hands Youth Methodology to (Middle) East” focusing on global citizenship and its context in education, democracy, and sustainable development.
During the first day, the participants worked on the ‘Selection of the Problems’ by identifying the issues considered relevant, urgent, and problematic within their communities to be addressed during the “immersive days”.
The “immersive days” constitute a kind of research about the two chosen issues in order to artistically create the appropriate solutions that will be presented to the authorities on the community level.
During the three following days, specific presentations will be delivered to a group of experts who will assist in validating the proposed hypotheses.
On the fifth and final day, a Closing Ceremony was held to showcase the proposals before the designated committee.
The methodology of the activity is developed by Scholas Occurrentes and is specifically based on the organization’s experience in the citizenship field.
