Projects
Real projects Solidara is part of, funded through Erasmus+ and similar programmes, tagged by which activity they belong to.
Connected, Not Consumed
An 8-day Youth Exchange in Kaiserslautern, Germany, bringing together 28 young people and 7 group leaders from seven countries to explore digital well-being, safety and media literacy. Through workshops, an offline city experience and creative sessions, participants reflect on their own digital habits and develop tools to use technology more consciously. Solidara is one of the sending partner organisations.
Neighbours Meet Neighbours
An informal group of young people from Workum, Local Bridges Youth Group, running a weekly language café, a buddy system and shared community activities to connect long-term residents with newcomers in and around their town. Solidara supports the group as their external coach throughout the project.
Roots & Rhythms: Music for Migrant Integration
Roots & Rhythms is an 18-month partnership between youth organisations in Belgium, the Netherlands and Portugal using music as a tool for social inclusion with young migrants, refugees and minority youth. Around 60 young people take part in local music-based workshops across the three countries, and the partnership produces an open-access Manual of Good Practices for youth workers. Solidara leads the Learning Mobility of Youth Workers, a 5-day training held in Charleroi.
Solidarity Lines: Local Roots, European Routes
Solidara's first project as lead applicant: two 10-day train journeys for young people from Workum with fewer opportunities, travelling together through Amsterdam, Bruges, Lille and Brussels. Along the way, participants explore what makes people feel included or excluded in a city, and build confidence, independence and a sense of European belonging through daily reflection and group support.
SPARK: Supporting Participation, Active Rights and Knowledge
SPARK is an 18-month partnership between youth organisations in Austria, the Netherlands and Belgium that trains youth workers to help young people with fewer opportunities (NEETs, migrants, refugees and minorities) take part in decisions that affect their lives. Around 60 young people in Linz, Workum and Antwerp take part in local participation workshops, and the partnership produces an open-access toolkit for youth workers across Europe. Solidara leads the Transnational Youth Worker Training.
