​Common Roots of the European Words – CREW

Training Course in Reggio Calabria (Italy) 11/16 September 2017

With this project  we want to contribute to the preservation and revival of the European community sense. Our project involves participants who come from 12 countries; they are the “crew” of the ship that will sail many routes ( cultural and linguistic routes) and   finally they will arrive in the safe port of European Civilitation.

Through non-formal learning of the common linguistic roots, of cultural affinities, and through the promotion of diversity, we can recognize ourselves in other people; and we can developing the feeling of a common European culture and identity.

This awareness is necessary to re-new the idea of Europe as a community of people; a community that want to break down cultural barriers and to rejects radicalism and dis-integrating rhetoric. The project activities will encourage the idea of a society founded on the values of “ pluralism, non-discrimination, tolerance, justice, solidarity and equality between women and men” (Article 2 - Treaty on European Union).

The training-course is aimed to increase the personal attitude to relate to each other, an attitude of acceptance and tolerance.

The exchange of best practices, the acquisition and development of interaction ,social inclusion and cultural skills will enable the participants to spread the new set of knowledge in  national, business and associative context where they operate.

The duration of the project will coincide with the week of the patronal feast of Reggio Calabria, and the participants will experience first hand  the religious,popular-culture and dialect- linguistic tradition of our of our local community.

The 7 days training course will focus on cultural and language exchange with informal education methods and it will take place in a region, distrit of Reggio calabria, which has represented the crossroads of many cultures (Greek, Latin, Norman , Angevin, Spanish, Hebrew, etc.) for centuries.
