SOMOS EUROPA

The “Asociación Cultural Somos Europa” was born with the task that the young people of our province (Granada) know more deeply what Europe is, its different cultures, languages, ways of understanding life, history.... We want to strengthen the European identity using intercultural knowledge as a tool. We also want our young people to besocially more participative, to be committed to be autonomous and involved with the socialproblems, we want them decide for themselves and become drivers of change. We would like to favor the acquisition of skills through non-formal education mainly (workshops, projectdevelopment, cultural activities, volunteering ...). We are a group of people, mostly young people who come from working with thePadul in Action Youth Association, University of Granada and the Padul Town Hall, we worked with these entities working with the Erasmus + program with more than satisfactory results. We decided to give One step further and expand our work to the rest of the province. We work with young people and children, facilitating their participation in the Erasmus + program, we work with High School, schools and other associations informing them and collaborating in the application and implementation of European projects. In the same way, we develop activities at a local level, mainly in School Centers and Associations with the main interest of promoting the social participation of young people in their communities and the acquisition of new skills.
