Objectives

“Get in touch, get aware” is an international project which will be held in a period of 6 months with the collaboration of 5 partner organizations from 5 different countries: Italy, Estonia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Greece. It includes a series of interconnected activities where youth workers and youth from different cultural backgrounds will meet and experience non-formal and informal learning in intercultural environment during the preparation, the implementation and the dissemination of a 8-days Youth Exchange. The main purpose is to analyze and combine different forms of contact to find a balance for the self-development of an individual who is influenced by the modernity and the new technologies of 21th century, an individual who feels more and more reluctant to physical contact. Besides, technology is playing a very important role in the development of our society. This project aims to prove how technology, personal development, meetings and partnerships are all different forms of contact. Considering this background, the coordinating team (New Horizons Italia ) defined 4 objectives to reach with the project, and especially with main Activity, that is a Youth Exchange which will be held from 04.09.2019 to 11.09.2019 in Tusa, Italy: -To guide 20 participants and 5 leaders from each partner organization, from 5 different countries during 8 days of Youth Exchange, to discover themselves in relation to one person, to a group, to future partners, to a community, to the material world, and to themselves, through the exploration of different forms of contact (communicative, physical, digital and more.) -To give to 5 partner organizations in 6 month of collaboration the opportunity to compare and find new methods, to involve young people in the specific association and in the local community, to promote diversity, intercultural dialogue, tolerance between young people from different countries and coming from different backgrounds and to establish relationships for future projects.
