Summary of Action

The Acmos project is part of Lot 2 of the ”Connect for Global Change” call and develops a progressive participation pathway on global citizenship themes inspired by the ”engagement pyramid.” The first preparatory activity involves the training of the animators, focusing on key global citizenship themes—specifically inclusion, environmental sustainability, and gender equality, which will also be the focus of the project’s actions—and on the engagement pyramid.

The animators, trained on these topics, guide young participants through one or more phases of the pathway, structured as follows: an initial “light engagement” phase for young people in the Citizenship Education Groups (GEC), who gain critical awareness of global challenges, and for young students, who are engaged through informal animation activities that spark their interest in these topics; a second phase in which participants become activists by taking part in co-living experiences at Casa Acmos, gaining knowledge and reflecting on how they practically implement behaviors related to the three themes; a third phase in which they take on leadership roles to raise community awareness through three local events, each focused on one of the three key themes. Finally, in the fourth phase, the animators who completed the initial training and guided the participants collaborate with a team of professionals to structure the step-by-step participation model, making it transferable for other organizations.
