We organized an international youth exchange project called “The After Life” in which 40 participants from 8 entirely different countries (Croatia, Finland, Greece, Estonia, Poland, Italy, Turkey &. Netherlands) discussed and explored various forms of rituals and beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife with the goal to enhance the intercultural learning and understanding the values and beliefs that connect us. With this youth exchange project we brought together youth from different European countries and by using non-formal methodology, visits and thematic workshops, created comfortable space where they shared their experiences and daily life between each other. This project boosted youngsters out-of-the- box thinking. More concretely, the objectives of this Youth Exchange were: - to raise cultural awareness, foster inter-cultural dialogue and mutual understanding - to enhance intercultural learning - to raise the awareness of the importance of youth participation - to challenge and practice creative thinking - to use creativity to express their opinions and thoughts - to foster peer-dialog about matters concerning youth - to share knowledge, experiences, strategies, tools and ideas - to encourage critical and analytical skills - to acquire and transfer new methods of non-formal education One of our main goals was to improve the level of key competences to encourage the participants to become more active citizens of their home country and the EU, but also to contribute to a cohesive society. This all was achieved with the help of peer-learning in an international dimension while promoting the cooperation between various countries within the of Erasmus+ program. ‘The After Life’ was a 9-day Youth Exchange that took place in Netherlands from 1 to 9 march 2 022including traveling days in Goesbeek at the venue Heuvelrijk. The results of the YE were captured in the final video and sketch book both made by the participants. https://www.flipbookpdf.net/web/site/30d4dfd0d3479f8383ada485222a79c5196de322202203.pdf.html https://vimeo.com/691791447
