05/11/09



The project took hold from the 26th of October to the 5th of November in Odessa, Ukraine. The project went under the title: “Innovation and creativity in community actions” and gathered youth from all over Europe. The groups consisted of 12 participants and there were groups from Bulgaria, Great Britain, Ukraine and Russia. Invited by the Tsiolkovsky Association MGERB had two representatives to the international project – Mitya Atanasov and Alexander Kirilov, both members of MGERB, Sofia.

The main goal of the project was to familiarise the participants with everyday life in other countries and how it differs from their own country. During the project the participants exchanged valuable life experience, which would in turn help them improve life and the life of the young on local level. Another crucial part of the project was problem sharing. The participants expressed social and community problems in their countries and discussed how they are being solved, as well as how they could be solved.

An interesting part of the international project was a special seminar on the topic - “How to create community projects”. After the seminar the participants had the unique chance to create their own project.

The international project “Innovation and creativity in community actions”, occurred with the cooperation and co-finance of the European Commission, the local administration and the organising foundations – “WAYC” (UK), “Tsiolkovsky” (BG) and NGO “Good Will” (RUS).
