When our project was written, it sought to answer the following questions: - What are/will be the socio-economic consequences of the depopulation of rural settlements and the saturation of cities/capital cities? - Is it really economically worth leaving smaller towns and cities to move to a big city/capital? ' Do we really have more money left at the end of the month?' (Because it is typically more expensive to live in a big city than to live in the countryside, and not necessarily in proportion to the pay disparity.) - What cultural and leisure activities are available in the countryside? What new social skills and competences do young people moving from the countryside to a larger city need to develop? This was described by young people as 'gym versus gardening'. Self-reflections, feedback, and the Youthpass certificate demonstrate that participants and subsequently others who were interested were able to get the answers they needed and that young people were able to build the core competencies indicated in the program throughout the deployment. These are: 1. Multilingualism competences 2. personal, social and learning to learn competences 3. citizen competence 4. entrepreneurial competence 5. competence in cultural awareness and expression 6. digital competence 7. mathematical competence and competences related to science, technology and engineering 8. literacy When writing the project, together with our partner organisations in Ukraine, Slovakia and Romania we planned to be able to send 10 participants and 2 group leaders to the Park Hotel Táltos in Felsőtárkány, which was the venue for the implementation in 2020. The preparatory visit took place on 01.03.2020 and 03.02.2020. The youth exchange itself, - when we started planning and discussing it with our partner organizations in 2019- was originally planned to take place in March 2020, but a few days before the start of the program, COVID-19 made it impossible to hold the exchange. For this reason, we hold it in September 2021. The 48 individuals that were originally listed in the application have been kept, although their composition has changed. All of these distinctions will be discussed further in this study. Nonetheless, we are and have been committed to ensuring that the project provides a long-term information basis so that the exchange concept may be continued with new young people's participation.
