The project partnership set up to implement this youth exchange entitled “Open Minds, Open Doors" will use and promote actual innovative tools in youth work and non-formal education, in compliance with the EU 2020 strategy. Actually, it is a trilateral youth exchange with partner organizations from Romania, France(the Reunion Island), and Hungary. It also plans to tackle with certain challenges and phenomena, such as: Racism, Social Exclusion, Poor Communication amongst youngsters and organizations confronted with geographical obstacles and economic discrepancies, European Citizenship, Emigration and Diversity which manifest and affect many in today Europe and beyond. Each promoter organization has a background in tackling with specific activities to approach the above issues. In this respect, the applicant organization based in Botosani, Romania and the association in the Reunion Island have had the opportunity to meet each other in 2016, in the Island of the Reunion on the occasion of a youth exchange who's title was : "Un, Cent mille, Personne'', Registration number: 2016-1-FR02-KA105-011028 when they both decided to go on with the cooperation and develop new projects in the future. Now, we consider that carrying out this project represents a great opportunity to go on with what we started together while promoting the EU values such as, human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities. Then, the applicant organization has also met before the Hungarian partner within the frame of the European Youth4Media Network e.V. which is a European networking organization that aims at involving young people in civic activities by using media while developing existing partnerships in the area of participative youth media work in order to create a stable and sustainable network of non-commercial media, cultural and educational institutions. At the same time, Hungarian partner is also very much involved in working with disadvantaged youth, including Roma.
