ERYICA Projects
Meet the Street
Meet the Street is a project, in which 120 youngsters from different countries, aged between 15 and 25, interviewed non organised youngsters on different subjects of importance for them. These interviews were recorded with mobile phones, then edited and uploaded on line.
The project had two phases: Meet the Street - I, and Meet the Street - II. There was also a follow-up initiative of the project planned: Meet the Roads.

Meet the Street - I was the first phase of the Meet the Street project.
It ran from October 2008 till the end of February 2009.
During this phase, ERYICA, in cooperation with the Service National de la Jeunesse organised the first event of the project.
During the event, the youngsters:
-
Received general training on communication and interviewing techniques;
-
Received technical training on how to upload videos, and to add subtitles, etc.;
- Prioritised subjects for interviews
These trainings provided the youngsters with all the tools they would need in order to conduct peer to peer interviews.
Each project partner centre was asked to find 6 youngsters, who would conduct interviews. From these 6 youngsters, 2 participated in the event in Luxembourg.
They had to train 4 other youngsters from their centre, who didn't participate in the training, and "transmit" the skills they had acquired during it.
Each centre committed itself to upload 35 interviews during the "Meet the Street - I" (by mid-March 2009).
The other 35 interviews were uploaded during the second ph
ase of the project (by the end of June 2009).

The training provided took place in the Youth hostel of Luxembourg on 4 - 7 December 2008, where 39 youngsters from 12 different countries came to be trained (2 youngsters per partner association).
The interviews taken dealt with such subjects as drugs, employment, health, education, exchange projects, and the right to vote.
Meet the Street - II was the second phase of the project running from March 2009 till September 2009.During this phase, a follow-up meeting and training of youngsters was organised in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, on 16 - 19 of April 2009. Forty youngsters participated in the event.
