The youth exchanges are based on the interests of the young people, are co-determined and shaped by them. The youth exchanges empower self-determination and strengthen personal responsibility. These objectives of international youth work have already been recognized by CHANCE International and Jugendamt Steglitz-Zehlendorf and in this way they want to contribute to the personality developement, promotion of democracy and social learning of young people by using methods of non-formal education. Within the Key Action 1, we plan to hold the seminar "Future Lab: Go non formal" with 20 experts from international youth work from Hungary, Israel, Ukraine and Germany. The seminar will take place from 11.06.2016 to 15.06.2019 in Berlin Steglitz-Zehlendorf.
