to improve solidarity and cooperation with vulnerable groups to create "Youth’s Memories Box" containing 5 drawers –1 family- gastronomy and

habits, 2 fashion, 3 leisures- music, sports, games and other hobbies, 4 education, 5 citizenship

to promote the "Youth’s Memories Box" as a European cultural, educational and social tool

90’s-2000 and the XXI st century, the youngsters have the chance to learn from the experience of their family, of local citizens, to compare and exchange points of views on the various main themes concerning youth life and youth problems, to see how they and every generation contribute to the development of their community and society, to make difference between what is good or bad, to go from the individual reflection on a general point of view.

The project has the capability to enhance the ability to understand the reality of young people from different periods and countries and learn what separates and what unites young Europeans (the volunteers learn and compare youth lifestyles from each other country, they are more tolerant and more open to accept the differences, they debate opportunities of education, culture, entrepreneurship, development for youth in Europe).

The project is constructed so the participants can live always in the present, to do not regard the time as past.

The methods used were presentations, non-formal games, living library, photo, audio-video and Internet studies, investigation and documentation in the families, local people and archives, in museums. The volunteers worked “learn by doing”, will work in group, peer-to-peer, individually, in teams.

The inter-cultural and intergenerational activities, the meetings and workshops were source of valuable non-formal lessons for youngsters. They practiced old dances, with the villagers from the traditional folk group Lilac from Ponoare, they learnt to cook bread without oven, with “test”, Romanian, Spanish and international musical evenings were organized.

PROIECTUL CUTIA CU AMINTIRI A TINERILOR 2015-2-RO01- KA105-015435

Proiectul « Cutia cu Amintiri a Tinerilor », finanțat de Comisia Europeana , prin intermediul programului Erasmus + program , este implementat timp de 9 luni , intre 1 August 2015 - 30 Aprilie 2016 de 2 promotori- Asociatia Act Integration , din Drobeta Turnu Severin , Romania si Europa Direct-Ayuntamiento Albacete, din Spania . Bugetul proiectului este de 9740 euro.

Activitatea de schimb de tineri a avut loc in Brebina, Baia de Arama, Ponoare, Herculane si Drobeta Turnu Severin, Romania, intre 12-22 decembrie 2015 si a propus, in 10 zile, o calatorie non - formala in stilul de viata al tinerilor europeni din1940 pana in perioada contemporana, in secolul XXI .

Principala motivatie a noastra a fost aceea de a oferi pentru 18 de tineri, insotiti de 2 lideri, provenind din zone rurale si urbane, din comunitatile noastre locale, posibilitatea de a intalni alti tineri europeni, si de a fi actorii principali care joaca in cadrul proiectului .

Obiectivele proiectului-sa sporeasca cunoasterea de sine , constiinta de sine a tinerilor si sa creeze noi oportunitati de invatare pentru ei-sa faciliteze abilitatea de a ințelege realitatea tinerilor din diferite perioade si tari si sa invete ce ii separa si ii uneste pe tinerii europeni-sa imbunatateasca solidaritatea si cooperarea cu grupurile vulnerabile-sa creeze " Cutia cu Amintiri a Tinerilor " care contine 5 sertare - 1 familia- gastronomie si obiceiuri , 2 moda , 3 activitati din timpul liber- muzica, sport, jocuri si alte hobby-uri, 4 educatie, 5 cetatenie-sa promoveze " Cutia cu Amintiri a Tinerilor ", ca un instrument educational, cultural si social european-sa dezvolte spiritul de initiativa si creativitate in randul tinerilor , crearea " Magaziei Kultural + "

Consideram ca traind fiecare "an-decada" - 40’ , 50’ , 60’ , 70’ , 80’ , anii 90-2000 si in secolul XXI, tinerii au sansa sa invete din experienta familiilor lor , de la cetatenii locali, sa compare si sa schimbe opinii cu privire la diferitele teme principale in ceea ce priveste viata tinerilor si problemele lor, sa vada cum ei si fiecare generatie contribuie la dezvoltarea comunitatii si a societatii lor, sa faca diferenta intre ceea ce este bun sau rau , sa mearga de la reflectia personala la un punct de vedere general.Al 5-lea sertar este dedicat in special schimbarilor din Europa, de dupa al doilea razboi mondial , construirii Uniunii Europeane si participarii tinerilor.

Proiectul imbunatateste capacitatea de intelegere a realitatii tinerilor din diferite perioade si tari si a ceea ce separa si ce ii uneste pe tinerii europeni (voluntarii afla si compara stilul de viata al tinerilor din alta tara, devin mai toleranti si mai deschisi sa accepte diferentele, dezbat oportunitatile de educatie, de cultura, de antreprenoriat si de dezvoltare pentru tineri in Europa ).Proiectul este construit astfel incat participantii sa traiasca mereu in prezent, sa nu considere timpul ca trecut.

Metodele utilizate au fost prezentari, jocuri non-formale, biblioteca vie, fotografii, marturii audio -video si studii de pe Internet, investigarea si documentarea in familii, la localnici si in arhive, in muzee. Voluntarii au lucrat prin learning by doing (a invata prin a face), in grup, peer- to-peer (de la egal la egal, cu responsabilitati si drepturi egale), in mod individual, in echipe.

Participantii au adus imagini/copii foto, au selectat melodii, dansuri, au vorbit cu membrii familiei, prietenii, au adus prezentari, retete sau relatari pe care ei le-au considerat reprezentative pentru fiecare din cele 7 perioade, pe temele celor 5 sertare-1 familie-gastronomie si obiceiuri, 2-moda, 3 activitati din timpul liber-muzica, sport, jocuri si alte hobby-uri, 4 educatie, 5 cetatenie (incluzand istoria UE).

Activitatile inter-culturale si intergenerationale, intalnirile si atelierele sunt sursa de lectii non-formale valoroase pentru tineri. In prima parte a schimbului, ei au practicat dansuri traditionale, in colaborare cu satenii din Grupul  Folcloric Liliacul din Ponoare, au invatat sa gateasca paine fara cuptor, la test, seri muzicale romaneasca, spaniola si internationala au fost organizate.

Au creat arta in natura, in stilul lui Andy Goldsworthy-anii50’, colaje si postere stil pop-anii 60’, au participat la sesiuni de drepturi ale omului si copilului-anii 70’, au descoperit obiective reprezentative pentru turismul anilor 80, ca statiunea Herculane, cat si diversitatea religioasa, etnografica, etnica si istoria tulburata a Romaniei, la Manastirea Sf.Ana, Biserica catolica din Orsova, Muzeul Hidrocentaralei “Portile de Fier”.

A doua parte a schimbului de tineri a continuat intre 18-22 decembrie, in Drobeta Turnu Severin. Participantii au avut ocazia sa vada cum sa initieze si cum functioneaza o firma de prelucrarea produselor de panificatie, responsabila social, au organizat la DJST MH, un seminar non-formal, intalnirea tinerilor cu reprezentanti din mai multe generatii diferite, care au fost intervievati.In timpul schimbului de experienta, voluntarii au prezentat descoperirile lor, modul in care traiau tinerii, schimbarile in Europa dupa al II-lea razboi mondial si construirea UE, au recreat atmosfera din acea vreme si au construit impreuna cutiile pentru cele 7 decade studiate.

Pe data de 21 decembrie 2015, a avut loc evenimentul “Magazia Kultural+”, expozitie cu produsele proiectului, marturii si prezentari, la Casa Tineretului, si maratonul de muzica si dans, expozitia in aer liber, la scena Aleea pietonala Crisan.Pe parcursul activitatilor, tinerii au interactionat cu reprezentanti ai Primariei Ponoare si Primariei Drobeta Turnu Severin, Scolii Gimnaziale "Dr. Alexandru M. Popescu" si ansamblului Liliacul din Ponoarele, Muzeului Hidrocentralei “Portile de fier”, DJST MH, DGASPC MH, Centrului Cultural "Nichita Stanescu", ansamblului Danubius, Asociatiei Surzilor-Filiala Severin, Asociatiei “Filantropia Severin”, Fundatiei de Tineret MH, cu parinti si bunici, localnici si alti voluntari.

Ziua de 22 decembrie a fost dedicata programului Erasmus+, planurilor comune de viitor si evaluarii. Tinerii au fost apreciati, cu diplome, pentru contributia lor si au primit certificatul european Youthpass, care valideaza competentele dobandite in proiect.

Cutiile cu amintiri vor fi digitalizate pe DVD si pe e-platforma proiectului, vor fi diseminate in organizatiile de tineret, in scoli si universitati, biblioteci, centre sociale si medicale, prin intermediul retelelor locale, nationale si europene.

Collage is a technique of an art production, primarily used in the visual arts, where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. A collage may sometimes include magazine and newspaper clippings, ribbons, paint, bits of colored or handmade papers, portions of other artwork or texts, photographs and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas.

The word comes from the French coller, meaning "to glue".

Colajul este un procedeu in arta modernă care constă in compunerea unui tablou prin lipirea unor elemente eterogene, ca bucati de ziar, fasii de hartie sau tesaturi colorate,hartie handmade, alte fotografii sau orice alte materiale gasiti, in scopul obținerii unui efect de ansamblu.

Termenul românesc colaj provine din cuvântul francez collage, cu acelasi ințeles ca si in limba română. La rândul său, acest termen francez este un derivat al cuvântului francez colle: „lipici”, prin intermediul cuvântului coller: „a lipi”.
