The Y&S Youth & Safety project will analyse the main safety related issues
regarding young people in Europe. It will focus on two aspects in particular:
road safety and personal safety. The first is strictly related to youth
cultures, including substance abuse (drugs and alcohol), while the second
refers to how safety is perceived in European cities and deals with the issues
of micro-crime and immigration.
Often the feeling of being unsafe prevails over the statistics, modifying
this way the citizens behaviour. Such changes are experienced in particular
by women. Starting from these issues and on the occasion of the European Year
of Equal Opportunities for All our association aims at promoting actions on the
basis of initiatives and projects developed in the past.
The project will be centred on the binary idea of Security and Safety and on
its individual and social perception. During the exchange programme there will
be several practical activities and meetings. The participants will exchange
views over their different experiences in their home countries in order to
identify peer to peer communication strategies on the issue of safety and
some of its specifics.
