“Inclusion to the bone” is a youth exchange including 7 countries & 8 partners: Netherlands, Slovenia, Greece, Romania, Turkey, Spain and Hungary. This is a follow up of several similar projects that reached a huge impact in the local and EU community. The exchange will be held from 6-15 March 2020. The main objectives are to support the social inclusion of youngsters with mental and or physical disabilities, present them diverse cultures, foster mutual understanding between young people from different countries, develop solidarity and promote tolerance among young people and encourage creating friendships. Additionally, this project promotes the young people's active participation focusing on their European citizenship and the European cooperation in the youth field. The most important for the target group and considering he objectives of the project is to develop and improve the skills of the participants: - Communication skills (as well as in foreign languages)- Taking part in an international group will be a great challenge for each of the participants as they will have to interact it with people they don’t know, and in addition there will be a language barrier which they have to overcome. As per our previous experience, communication skills are the ones developed the most after the YE. - Confidence in everyday life and socialization skills – we are confident, that being part in such international YE, the participants will increase their confidence that they can deal themselves with basic everyday needs that they were scared to deal with previously. For some of them this will be their first time out of their country and their comfort zone, usually after the very day everybody feels so enthusiastic and empowered in such new environment, they start feeling responsible about the schedule and the program activities - Intercultural, EU citizenship awareness and tolerance- We have planned the activities in the YE to focus on sharing the international and intercultural experience, so we believe the participants and their relatives (when they return back home and share the experience) will become more aware about the intercultural equalities and differences, as well as help them widen their horizons. Such international environment will help them discover new cultures, habits and lifestyles, mainly through peer-learning and will strengthen values like friendship. Furthermore, if the methods for inclusion in their own countries are less productive, they will be able to improve them and if their methods are good, they would be able to better appreciate what they have. The main tool of the project is the non-formal education, the methods we are using are mainly role plays, interactive workshops and talks. The relaxed but still serious programme will give everybody the possibility to talk and feel comfortable about their own opinions and situation. By using these methods, participants will have to interact with each other through different channels- verbal and non-verbal, which will facilitate the way that bound at the end. By providing a safe environment, they will open their minds after a while and get to trust the each other and also to gain trust in themselves. We did see this happening last time, and they increased their communication a lot, not only by speaking, but also by non-verbal communication. Sometimes when they wanted to show somebody something but they were not able to express that verbally, they just grabbed each others hand and enthusiastically managed to find a way to express their thoughts to each other. As facilitators we strive to make everyone feel comfortable and relaxed in this group that the learning outcomes will be reached naturally, without forcing them. So, at the end, when we draw the line, a comparison and sharing will be necessary in order for everybody to achieve the aims of their personal aims being part of such YE and of the project in general. We are going to apply the knowledge and experience gained previously, as well as getting feedback from our partners so we can make sure everyone is involved in every step of the project and all of the opinions are heard and taken into consideration. We have the ritual, when working with vulnerable group of youngsters, to highlight their possibilities and special abilities , then they can "show off" and since everyone is encouraged to show it in front of the others, they get positive response and grow in self-esteem and they feel a part of the whole team.
