Objectives

By implementing this exchange the parters see that we foster mutual understanding, improved communication and allow participants to enjoy and understand another culture. Activities will provide opportunities to build skills and confidence and through the whole project young people will get to know others participants and exchange life experiences. The objectives of project are: - To provide the youngsters better possibilities in future, regarding their international experience during this project. - The project gives the young people the opportunity to work together and be involved in the process of preparing, implementation and evaluation of the exchange, through which they try to develop their personal skills, knowledge and attitude as listed in the learning outcomes. - Providing them opportunity to work on their own needs and wishes regarding to exchange and gaining new experiences through action is essential in the project. - Improving youngsters language skills and awareness of other cultures based on the young people’s own wishes. Because youngster will cooperate in the whole process of exchange, they will have opportunity to develop english language skills, working with youngsters from other countries, that are taking part in the project. - The project is providing opportunities for youngsters to build resilience in everyday life. An important objective is to increase self-esteem of participants and provide all the information and opportunities from the EU programme. - Improving the tools needed to participate and be active, not only passive listeners. We are also aiming that the youth exchange has long term results, that will have an impact on the local communities involved as well as on international cooperation in the future. We also see that this project links to the need of the education system and the structure of society not giving many possibilities for youngsters to be active or to know they could be active. We want to create a space open to creativity, to encourage active discourse and to promote new knowledge/skills exchanges between countries. The partners see that the project strongly answers to the need of the young people from this background (even more widely in society) to have opportunities like these, and be able to benefit from such a learning mobility. As the young people put it themselves (in preparation of this project): "We are aiming this project to help young people not to be alieneted from society, give us readynes for work, give us direction where to move next in life, and of course socialise us."
