Progressum is a non-governmental, non-profit youth association founded in Vienna, Austria in early 2013. Along with our members and partners we support community development as a key method of addressing issues of poverty, inequality, discrimination and exclusion.
Improving youth active participation in their local communities and beyond.
Our mission is to ensure that associations and businesses working with youth in Europe and beyond have access to diversity and freedom in order to achieve better quality of our communities on local, national and international level by sharing and developing open access delivery, ideas and methods. This shall result in enhanced general understanding of European Member States as well as higher awareness of problems and good practices from each other.
Promotion of quality education; practice exchange as well as support for activists and youth workers; assist social integration and personal orientation of the young people in unequivalent social conditions; develop and encourage a mutual understanding among young people of different countries; promote young people as active citizens and as European citizens as well; develop solidarity and social cohesion among young people and provide them mobility opportunities.
Our members have all been doing those things during our work for the largest student run organization AIESEC and during our exchanges abroad as well as in active participation in various youth projects!
All our projects have been co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme and Lifelong learning Programme of the European Union, managed by the Austrian national agency "Interkulturelles Zentrum".
Let's go through 3rd day of our TC once again. First think which we discussing at was self-awareness. It means what is important for us in team-work, organisation etc.
Next step was to create an event in frames of organisation task from the very basics.step by step: resources, money, contact with media, logisnes and technical aspect. Main question which help us to to this task were: What? For what? Where? With whom? For how much?
...in a place whose name I can't remember!
After a restless night, a new day started, Wednesday, September 2nd, and like every morning we headed to class.
We started with a warm-up, then we worked on how to be a good leader. We ended up concluding that a good leader must meet a number of qualities: be responsible, hardworking, flexible or someone charismatic.
Sunday was the first day of activities. It was the moment to get to know each other and to start working as a team.
For this, we started by learning each other’s names. We did it in a dynamic way, through games and energizers.
We talked about our fears, contributions and expectations and so we found out that this project is full of active people, willing to learn from each other and to contribute with their knowledge and qualities. We also had some team building activities.
