Youth exchange ‘'WE CAN: the art of project writing!" was implemented in Paccar Camp, London in the period of 24 Oct - 01 November 2022. It brought together 6 youth organizations: the applicant Youth Work Alliance UK and the partners: Next generation, FOREGROUND Foundation, ASOCIATIA D.G.T, Youth Season Assotiation, and Amigos de Europa. The consortium carried out youth exchange with the aim to increase entrepreneurial mindset of young people and to encourage them to be active in the field of Erasmus + Programme (to take part in international youth projects, to come up with ideas for Erasmus + Programme supported projects and to get involved in their realizations). I brought together 60 young ppeople (12 Leaders and 48 youngsters), including 24 young people with fewer opportunities. The aim of the project was to include young people, especially those with fewer opportunities, and provide them with the opportunity to develop their ideas, potential solutions to various problems, and increase their competencies through international mobility activities supported by the Erasmus+ Programme. The objectives of the youth exchange were as follows: 1. Equipping the participants with knowledge and competences about project management and idea development. 2. ncreasing the participants' understanding of the role of the Erasmus+ Programme, Key Action 1, and the key European Strategy: Europe 2020. 3. Strengthening the participants' knowledge in the area of the project management cycle of the Erasmus+ Programme, including reflection on the role of various bodies such as EACEA, SALTOs, National Agencies, and non-governmental organizations. 4. Equipping the participants with a set of competencies related to identifying and selecting partners, ensuring visibility and dissemination of project results, and planning technicalities. 5. Developing the participants' soft skills in communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and conflict management in intercultural settings. 6.
