Objectives

The theory of multiple intelligences, developed by psychologist Howard Gardner in the early 1980s, posits that individuals possess eight or more relatively autonomous intelligences that can’t be measured with an IQ test. The theory about the 8 intelligences has practical application for how we go about learning new skills and choosing the type of work we find most satisfying. These “eight multiple intelligences” include linguistic, mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, intrapersonal, interpersonal and naturalist. In each of these intelligences, there lie strong points to someone and weak points for others. Some people are better at understanding some things than others. The youth exchange will provide a room for a process of self-discovery in the context of participants’ personal and professional development. The 8th intelligences tackled by this project are complementary with the 8 key life-long learning competences that are fundamental for each individual in a knowledge-based society. With this project we want to achieve the following objectives - To develop a positive attitude towards the diversity of talents - To support youngsters in identifying their strengths and talents - To help youngsters find out tools for personal development - To develop positive attitude towards diversity based on personal talents and learning styles Taking part in this exchange will contribute to young people's personal development and might expand their professional opportunities, help them to set up learning and carrier goals.
