The objectives of the "Cultural and historical awareness for active citizenship" (CHACH) project are:

1) To foster a social inclusion process for both youth and local communities, deepening their involvement in cultural activities and their knowledge about the history of the place they live in. This objective aims to push their communication and sense of community and active citizenship by exploring social issues other inhabitants face and changes that have occurred over time.

2) To improve educators' knowledge about Public/Oral History methodologies and target group needs to improve their everyday activities, fostering the creation of similar projects in other realities. This objective aims to give educators the tools to sensitize youngsters about project topics and start a social inclusion process through culture and storytelling, fostering their sense of belonging to their communities.

Results

The concrete results of the project will include a new Guide and training format for educators to be trained in Public/Oral History methodologies, an oral archive to be recorded by youngsters and educators and left to local libraries, and a Toolkit with the procedure and results of each Workshop. The intangible results of the project will be increased awareness among educators on how to foster active citizenship of youngsters through Public History methodology and youngsters' improvement of social skills as agents of community engagement in their own communities.
