Youth exchange "Make the change" was the result of cooperation of young representatives of 7 European countries. Originators from Italy invited young people from Spain, Romania, Germany, the Netherlands, Bulgaria and France to cooperate. The idea itself arose during a workshop on Social Economy organized at a school which a group of Italian youth attends. The "Make the change" project responded to the needs of young people with fewer opportunities for education in project implementation and improvement of leadership skills. The aim of youth exchange was to encourage young people to take action, provide them with opportunities to acquire new skills and knowledge, and strengthen their ability to create and implement projects aimed at raising and solving problems of the local community. Practical experience in the subject of change leadership was possible through a balanced combination of theory, practice, individual reflection and dialogue. The project met the objectives of the Erasmus + program for the promotion of active civic attitude among young people. Project goals: - providing participants with knowledge and skills for implementing youth initiatives / projects that allow participants to act as disseminators of active citizenship ideas and face problems of their local societies, - providing participants with tools to develop leadership skills in order to motivate them to become active citizens (developing specific skills such as decision making, team building, communication, public speaking, etc.); - intercultural education of participants, - supporting young people with fewer opportunities, struggling with geographic and economic problems; - extending the partnership network and exchanging good practices to involve young people, especially those with fewer opportunities in youth initiatives supported by youth programs or other assistance programs; - promotion of the most important European values and the Erasmus + program.
