-===== Idea(l)s in Action in a few words =====
-"//I always thought that who sows utopia will reap reality//" - Carlo PETRINI
-The strategic partnership **Idea(l)s in action** addresses the issues of youth unemployment and the need to tends towards a more sustainable and inclusive development. It aims at **inspiring and empowering young people**, allowing them to believe in their abilities to **take action** and to create the **positive change** they hope for their lives and communities.
-To achieve those goals, we set up a **partnership** between France, Greece, Italy and Portugal to:
-(a) **theorize, improve and spread to new venues and new target groups** a non-formal educational tool, the **//Heterotopia Tour//**, with high potentials in terms of Youth empowerment and promotion of **more sustainable ways of living**, based on **cooperation** and respect of **Human Rights** and **Nature**;
-(b) **share good practices** in the field of social innovation, so that we can better meet the challenges we are facing: youth unemployment, social inclusion, sustainable development.
-The project is therefore, at the same time:
-  * a **training program** for youth and social workers;
-  * a **research program** based on experiences in **active pedagogy** and **non-formal education**;
-  * an **awareness program** on social and environmental issues and a **promotional project** of social innovation and innovative lifestyles.
-It lasted **22 months** and included **4 training activities** (“Heterotopia Tours”), **4 large-scale dissemination events** and 12 peer-to-peer trainings and small-scale local events.
-It lead us to the creation of 2 main Intellectual Outputs:
-  * **high-quality video/photo/audio coverage** on exemplary social projects from Southern France, Greece, Sicily, and South Portugal, which are currently broadcasted on various channels and permanently accessible on an online transmedia platform **(Heterotopies.net)** ;
-  * a **methodological Guide** on //“How to organize a Heterotopia Tour?”// geared towards youth and social workers, educators and trainers.
-Additional information on the visited projects, the workshops the participants took part in the trainings and the concepts they dealt with are also available on this Wiki Doku site in the //Testimonies// section.
-The participants in the 2 fist Heterotopia Tours and the youth and social workers who took part in the two last Tours **experimented the tool**, in order to master it, while leading a **research** on it, in order to extract its main elements (out of the circumstantial factors that can affect it) and improve the method.
-Thanks to peer-to-peer trainings, to their participation in international meetings and to the creation of this **methodological Guide**, they are spreading their results widely, within their communities and all over Europe.
-The project also allowed us, as partners, to develop our activities and reach out to new venues and new target groups, thanks to the exchange of our  practices, the capacity-building of our key staff and the extension of our network. The project was an opportunity for us to strengthen our cooperation and involve new counterparts in the process, creating thus dynamics at both local and European level.
-Finally, the project is an opportunity to bring together a wide range of people and social organizations around **common objectives**. It contributes to give shape to a common concept for lasting creation and evaluation of specific solutions, **reconciling the development of human societies and the preservation of nature**, respecting each culture, and update the sustainable paths within the current political context.
