Youth Exchange The School of Democracy 3 will take place in Trenčín for a total of 8 days with travel. It will involve 40 young people aged 13-16, who are representatives of school pupils' councils primary schools from two countries - Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The project originated from the initiative and the needs of pupils who identified the main topics such as democracy, functioning and increasing competences in the school's councils, volunteering or civic participation. Exchange participants will share their experiences, skills, ideas with other young people from their city and school. During the project, students learn more about student councils, but also learn skills such as communicating with peers but also with leaders or city representatives, presentation skills, conflict management, group leadership and work, motivation of others, responsibility for assigned tasks, preparation for discussions they will need in their pupils' councils, but also in their daily lives, but they will also lead individual activities aimed at exchanging experiences and perceiving the situation and opinions of young people - their peers. The activities will be divided into theoretical workshops and presentations during the day, a practical form of trying out what they have learned so far, and evaluation activities will take place at the end of the day to reflect on the day and adapt the following activities. This project aims to help participants see the school councils as “schools of democracy” and as an opportunity to learn more about citizenship and participation in practice. Each participant will acquire better information, become a more active citizen and acquire skills and tools for a more active life in and around their community.
