Objectives

The project was created on the initiative of young people from Slovenia, who in August 2019 took part in an international youth exchange in Spain for the first time, where they connected with their peers from Ireland. They especially liked artistic and theater methods. They enthusiastically talked about the world, society and current topics, which we perceived as a desire for more active participation of young people when it comes to topics that are important to them. Young people have shown that they have their own opinions and ideas, which they want to share with others and implement. Since these are topics that coincide with the goals of the Erasmus+ program, this gave us even more momentum. With the project, we wanted to improve the level of key competences and skills of young people, especially young people with fewer opportunities, and enable them to further research these topics and actively participate in establishing their own participation in everyday life, through the prism of newly acquired skills, knowledge and approaches, awareness and more constructive responses consequently also affects the narrower and then the wider community. Our goals were: - successfully carry out a 2-day preparatory visit, during which 8 participants are present (from each country 1 leader and 1 participant) and there finalize the exchange schedule and divide the tasks and roles for implementation - to successfully conduct a 7-day youth exchange "Image for change", which will include 34 participants aged between 15-25 from Slovenia, Ireland, Italy and Finland, who will explore current social issues through the use of theater and artistic methods and digital tools ( such as hate speech, social inequality, homophobia and gender discrimination). They should present their opinions, findings and products at a public event in Ajdovščina, in the form of a photo exhibition (which will travel around Slovenia after the activity) and in an e-booklet, which would participants produced during the exchange. - after the exchange in each of the partner countries, carry out at least one presentation of the project, the target audience of which is young people aged 15 to 25. - issue 34 Youthpass certificates.
