🏢 About the local organisation

Amigos de Europa, is an association founded in 2014, with the main objective of invigorating the youth of Andalusia and to be able to make it participate in European Youth programs. It was born, at the initiative of a group of young people who had participated in projects of the defunct Youth in Action and first projects under the auspices of the Erasmus Plus program, since After participating in these experiences, they found that the young people in their environment did not know about these opportunities and They wanted to organize themselves to be able to publicize the programs and generate opportunities for others. According to the Friends of Europe statutes, its objectives and purposes are as follows: a) Promotion of the different possibilities that regional, national and European programs offer to young people Andalusian b) Promote integration and relationships between young people from different countries. c) Make Andalusian culture known d) Promote a critical spirit within young Andalusians and Europeans e) Promote the integration of young Andalusians into the national and international labor market. f) Stimulate and encourage the participation of young people in all existing spaces for social participation. g) Promote Human Rights and values that permeate EU and UN policies to improve coexistence. h) Others To achieve these objectives, we carry out the following activities: a) Conferences b) Cultural exchanges c) Training Courses d) Volunteer Projects e) Studies and analysis to determine the needs of young people f) Development of youth policy programs of the different institutions g) Creation of a web page to publicize information. h) Agreements with public collaborative institutions to implement youth policies and actions. i) Others All the activities that we develop are therefore aimed at achieving our social goals and all of them are preside over the following principles. -UNIVERSALITY: all our activities are open to any young person who has an interest in them regardless of their race, beliefs, origin or purchasing power. - FREE OF CHARGE: our entity is free of profit, so all the activities we organize are of a gratuitous. - INCLUSION: all our programs and actions are focused on generating inclusive measures for social groups that have fewer opportunities. - EQUALITY: all participants in our actions are equal, without any privileges due to sex, beliefs political, religious or otherwise. Although participation will prevail and measures will be established for a correct participation of young people belonging to vulnerable groups. - EMPOWERMENT: we are committed to non-formal education and dynamic methods for learning, but all our activities have the mission of empowering and teaching their participants -SOCIAL IMPACT: we believe in the "Butterfly Effect" and we pursue it. Our activities are a part of a change positive global, so with them we intend to change what we do not like about society, being a Third Party entity Sector. - REPLICABILITY: our activities are part of a studied plan that we gladly share with any young person or entity that wants to know our method. We expect that more and more organized young people develop activities. - COLLABORATION: we are always open to collaborate and develop activities jointly with other entities of the Third Sector or of the public administration. Thus, our association has always focused on the youth of Andalusia in all our activities, with special interest in those who live in small towns in rural Andalusia. We believe that with our work we must democratize access to opportunities and that is why, at present, we have collaboration agreements With more than twenty rural municipalities in Andalusia where we develop our programs and activities and whose young people are the main beneficiaries of our actions. Our work led us to be awarded by the Andalusian Institute of Youth, the prize for social action in the province of Córdoba, in 2018. A year later, the Andalusian Federation of Municipalities and Provinces awarded the Mancomunidad de la Subbética for a program of Youth policies that we develop jointly with the Youth technicians from the municipalities that belong to it. The proposal, design and elaboration of the project as well as the execution ran from us. In addition, we also have the Youth Accreditation of the Erasmus + program and we are part of Federations such as Anna Lindh Foundation, Eurodesk multiplier point or Butterfly Dreamer Network Amigos de Europa, es una asociación fundada en 2014, con el principal objetivo de dinamizar la juventud de Andalucía y poder hacerla partícipe de programas europeos de Juventud. Nació, por iniciativa de un grupo de jóvenes que habían participado en proyectos del extinto Youth in Action y primeros proyectos bajo el auspicio del programa Erasmus Plus, ya que tras participar en éstas experiencias comprobaron que los jóvenes de su entorno no conocían estas oportunidades y quisieron organizarse para poder dar a conocer los programas y generar para otros las oportunidades. Según los estatutos de Amigos de Europa sus objetivos y fines son los siguientes: a) Promoción de las distintas posibilidades que los programas autonómicos, nacionales y europeos ofrecen a los jóvenes andaluces b) Favorecer la integración y la relación entre los jóvenes de distintos países. c) Dar a conocer la cultura andaluza d) Promover el espíritu crítico dentro de los jóvenes andaluces y europeos e) Favorecer la integración en el mercado laboral nacional e internacional de los jóvenes andaluces. f) Dinamizar y fomentar la participación de los jóvenes en todos los espacios de participación social existentes. g) Fomentar los Derechos Humanos y valores que impregnan las políticas de la UE y la ONU para mejorar la convivencia. h) Otros Para alcanzar esos objetivos, realizamos las siguientes actividades: a) Conferencias b) Intercambios culturales c) Cursos de Formación d) Proyectos de Voluntariado e) Estudios y análisis para determinar las necesidades de los jóvenes f) Desarrollo de los programas de política juvenil de las distintas instituciones g) Creación de una página web para dar a conocer información. h) Acuerdos con instituciones públicas de colaboración para ejecutar políticas y acciones de juventud. i) Otros Todas las actividades que desarrollamos por lo tanto están orientadas a conseguir nuestros fines sociales y todas se presiden por los siguientes principios. -UNIVERSALIDAD: todas nuestras actividades están abiertas a cualquier joven que tenga interés en ellas sin importar su raza, creencias, procedencia o poder adquisitivo. - GRATUIDAD: nuestra entidad está exenta de lucro por lo que todas las actividades que organizamos son de carácter gratuito. - INCLUSIÓN: todos nuestros programas y acciones están enfocadas a generar medidas inclusivas para grupos sociales que tengan menos oportunidades. - IGUALDAD: todos los participantes de nuestras acciones son iguales, sin que existan privilegios por sexo, creencias políticas, religiosas o de otro tipo. Si bien se primará la participación y se establecerán medidas para una correcta participación de jóvenes que pertenezcan a grupos vulnerables. - EMPODERAMIENTO: apostamos por la educación no formal y por métodos dinámicos para el aprendizaje pero todas nuestras actividades tienen como misión la de empoderar y enseñar a sus participantes -IMPACTO SOCIAL: creemos en el "Efecto mariposa" y lo perseguimos. Nuestras actividades son una parte de un cambio global positivo, por lo que con ellas pretendemos cambiar lo que no nos gusta de la sociedad, siendo un ente del Tercer Sector. - REPLICABILIDAD: nuestras actividades forman parte de un plan estudiado y que compartimos gustosamente con cualquier joven o entidad que quiera conocer nuestro método. Pretendemos que cada vez sean más los jóvenes organizados que desarrollen actividades. - COLABORACIÓN: siempre estamos abiertos a colaborar y desarrollar actividades de manera conjunta con otras entidades del Tercer Sector o de la administración pública. Así pues, nuestra asociación siempre ha tenido en el foco de todas nuestras actividades a los jóvenes de Andalucía, con especial interés en los que se residen en pueblos pequeño tamaño del territorio rural andaluz. Creemos que con nuestra labor debemos democratizar el acceso a las oportunidades y por ello, en la actualidad, tenemos acuerdos de colaboración con más de una veintena de municipios rurales de Andalucía en los desarrollamos nuestros programas y actividades y cuyos jóvenes son los principales beneficiarios de nuestras acciones. Nuestra labor llevó a que se nos otorgasen por el Instituto Andaluz de la Juventud, el premio a la acción social en la provincia de Córdoba, en el año 2018. Un año después, La Federación Andaluza de Municipios y Provincias premió a la Mancomunidad de la Subbética por un programa de políticas de Juventud que nosotros desarrollamos conjuntamente con los técnicos de Juventud de los municipios que pertenecen a ella. La propuesta, diseño y elaboración del proyecto así como la ejecución corrió de nuestra parte. Además también contamos con la Acreditación de Juventud del programa Erasmus + y somos parte de Federaciones como Anna Lindh Foundation, Punto multiplicador Eurodesk o Butterfly Dreamer Network

The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
