Adolescence is characterized by behavioral and neurobiological changes and is marked by constant discovery and young people's search for autonomy and independence. This process is accompanied by a decrease in risk perception, an increase in the relevance of social and peer interaction, and identity construction. The various contexts in which young people are inserted (such as family, school, peers, neighbourhood) carry with them social risks that can reduce the resilience of the young person and increase vulnerability to behaviors that later turn into addictions and dependencies. According to a study by SICAD, in 2019, conducted with young people aged 13-18 years, "alcohol is the main substance consumed, followed by tobacco. With a much smaller expression are the consumption of certain medications and illicit substances. Internet use, particularly access to social networks, is now widespread, as are electronic games". Additive behaviors and addictions (ADC) in young people are a growing reality. In addition to substance abuse that stubbornly persists, a new dimension related to the Internet and its abusive and unconscious use is emerging. With easy access to new experiences and often lacking the maturity and personality traits to differentiate between positive and negative things, young Europeans tend to follow deviant paths. Without the proper and adjusted intervention, these paths translate into scenarios of deep social exclusion, given the separation of young people from the social and professional sphere and the disconnection from their own personality that stagnates and does not evolve with the necessary ambition and motivation to build their life project. In a Europe that claims to be inclusive, supportive, and a promoter of multiple opportunities, we absolutely cannot not react to these growing concerns (which are intensified by the current pandemic situation). Thus, we implemented the Youth Exchange so that young people would have the opportunity to develop their skills, interact with other young Europeans (particularly those also facing CAD), experience in loco a methodology capable of contributing to their social transformation (based on the NFE), and become self-aware, as well as others, of the challenges they face. All this has made it possible to eradicate the identified social problem. b) SOCIAL PROBLEM Existence of young people with ABD, which obscures their ability to act and participate in society and, through this, generates social exclusion. c) NEEDS We identified the need to: -Sensitize the community to the importance of strengthening the work with young people, thanks to gains in understanding/ intervention on ABD; -Explore in a multicultural context intervention strategy that allow preventing and/or eradicating ABD in young people; -Encourage multicultural and European interaction and cooperation of young people with ABD, so that they can develop competences and experiment with methodologies (such as non-formal education) in an environment truly conducive to their development. d) OBJECTIVES General: promoting social inclusion and active participation in society by young people, through the implementation of methodologies that prevent and/or eradicate ABD in young people. Specifics: -Sensitize young people to the importance of adapting their behaviour, so that they do not deviate from additions and dependencies, which tend to promote situations of social exclusion, failure, defragmentation, etc.; -Improve the quality of life and life prospects of young people, particularly with ABD, through the training process (development of key competences); -Foster the incorporation of common European values, through the opportunity to “Connect” young Europeans and place them in the same space (physical and virtual) for sharing, empowerment and learning; -Enhance the debate on ABD in young people, encouraging the implementation of effective interventions that combine the potential of different methodologies (including NFE).
