    Between 15 - 26 February 2015 year I had the pleasure to participate in the project Compass, Human Rights Education for Youth in Fasano, Italy. The project was attended by people from: Lithuania, Latvia, Greece, Romania, Great Britain, Macedonia, Italy and Poland.
    Each of the participants in their everyday lives work or support youth organizations and they deal with all the problems that affect at this age group. Very often their problems are violations of basic human rights. Rights to the faith, to work, to belong to a political party, and are also violated their human rights because of their nationality. During this project we had the opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the tool which is the Compass, it contained many different types of activities and tasks that help people talk openly with each other in a variety of subjects (sometimes very hard). During the project we were preparing classes, which proved to be very complicated. Nevertheless, the project taught me a lot and I used that knowledge in my work with youth.

    "Compass: Human Rights education for Youth" it’s a name of a project organized by ASAP Europe between 18th and 26th of February 2015 in Fasano, Italy. It was training course for youth workers and at the same time – my first exchange. The project gathered youth trainers from seven countries: Poland, Italy, Greece, Latvia, United Kingdom, Macedonia, Lithuania, Romania.
    We were talking about what is a training course, Council of Europe’s Human Rights Education Programe and the Compass HRE Manual
    During this training course we were using non-formal methods of education like simulations, group workshops, role-playing, debates. Before every workshop we had an energizer which helped us be more active. We had one day off when we could go to Lecce or Bari (big cities around Fasano). I really enjoyed this time! 

    I can really recommend project with SMIT.
