KA210- YOU – Small-scale partnerships in youth

Refl’Action

Refl’Action focuses mainly on using Reflection as a practice to promote the well-being and transferability of learning to empower young people and promote an active lifestyle aimed at conscious growth. Through practical activities, both digital and on the ground, the project strives to achieve the transferability of reflective practices in daily life. The project aims to promote well-being, active participation in community life, the development of digital skills, and the strengthening of the sense of belonging to the European Union.

The activities under this programme are:

1. Preliminary meeting in Corsica

The objectives are to get to know each other, build strong communication, discuss, plan the activities, and set a common framework for the project’s main topic, reflection in the context of learning. Essential aspects of the project are presented, such as the scientific research, the communication and dissemination plan, and the characteristics of the target groups in each country. At the same time, through non-formal educational activities, the project designers have the chance to experience the benefits of reflective practices and a better understanding of what they should do to transfer the knowledge and the tools to future participants.
