Start a CHANGE with Youth EXCHANGE!

This is NOT a project for people who already have a lot of experience in E+ but for those who would like to get involved more actively as group leaders, designers and coordinators of youth exchanges, but so far did not have the right moment for it.

With this contact-making event we want to make it easier for young youth leaders that are just getting active in youth work (or want to become active) to discover “the magic” of developing and implementing international youth exchanges within Erasmus+ programme.

We want to provide them with all necessary knowledge, tips and skills on how to develop and implement youth exchanges, so, that as a result of this project they could come “home” with concrete project ideas that could be submitted and implemented.

What will be happening at the project?!
– Nice activities to get to know each other closer so that participants have a chance to know better with whom they feel closer and more comfortable to make youth exchanges together
– “Seeing the bigger picture” on how non-formal learning works and why it is so crucial for young peoples’ personal and social development (what competences it develops in young people and how does it make them more active in society…)
– Discovering better the complexities of E+ youth exchanges: from theory to practice (how to “write” a good project so that it gets approved, but how to make also sure that you implement it well – many real life examples)
– Explaining the role division in youth exchanges and encouraging participants to take responsibility of being project coordinators and group leaders (it is not THAT complicated as it sounds in the beginning…)
– Space and time to work on concrete youth exchange ideas that could be applied for the nearest deadlines to E+ programme and implemented (recommendations from experts and peers).
