Project aim,   activities and results:

The aim of the project is to establish a long-lasting cooperation in order to create and implement new political tools that enable local communities to have an impact on the global and European solidarity in time of institutional and humanitarian crisis.

Through 5 transnational events, Network-building and local activities we are going to:

•           Interact with the communities, local action groups, activists and policy makers

•           Raise awareness on policies and competences of the EU relative to fundamental values

•           Understand better global politics, interdependencies and phenomena that shape citizens' every-day experiences

•           Learn about the impact of the EU decisions on local and global environment

•           Find common solutions for promoting local and global solidarity development

•           Promote opportunities for societal engagement at all European levels

•           Disseminate tools and good practices of local and global solidarity.

The outcome of the project activities will be a SOLID Network of partners able to design, test and disseminate guidelines for a new policy tool - the "Manual for Solidarity 2020" useful for for community leaders, politicians and other relevant stakeholders, and a missing puzzle in the concept of the European citizenship!
