AJ Inter has been recognized as a "Body Active at European Level" by the EACEA since 2011. Established in 1997 with a strong European focus, AJ Inter began its journey by organizing youth exchanges under the Youth with Europe II program. Over the years, it has gained extensive experience in youth exchanges and even developed a training course, "KNOW ERASMUS+, IT IS MORE," aimed at improving key aspects of project creation, such as visibility and follow-up. AJ Inter has expanded its scope by implementing various projects and collaborating with a network of European partners. Since 2011, with the support of the EACEA operational grant, it has focused on developing and promoting Erasmus+ Youth programs, coordinating an informal network of European youth organizations. From 2011 to 2021, AJ Inter maintained a multi-year plan under Erasmus+ Youth KA3 , Support for Policy Reform, Civil Society Cooperation in the Field of Youth. Through this, the organization has consistently worked towards the promotion and development of the Erasmus+ program in collaboration with civil society organizations. This project directly contributes to achieving our network’s objectives by strengthening international partnerships and fostering youth engagement across Europe. Among the network partners we collaborate with regularly, we reach out to those who either have limited experience in organizing youth exchanges or are in the process of integrating new youth workers and training youth leaders. These organizations are currently designing and preparing to implement a youth exchange project in the near future. Additionally, our partner organizations have involved participants from local organizations they cooperate with. For example, the Estonian organization is part of a national network of youth centers, while the North Macedonian organization has included a youth leader from Albania's cultural minority. In this project, we have considered the specific needs of our partners in developing youth exchanges. Our partners have actively participated in designing the program and integrating essential elements. As expected, the project and its activities are tailored to meet the needs of both the partner organizations and the participants, in this case, focusing on how to implement a high-quality youth exchange. General Objective: To enhance the competencies of youth workers and youth leaders in creating high-quality Erasmus+ youth exchanges. Specific Objectives: -Exchange ideas and experiences on implementing a youth exchange project. -Contribute to innovation in youth work by providing best practice examples and lessons learned from past youth exchanges. -Equip youth workers with non-formal education (NFE) methods, tools, strategies, and ideas to develop high-quality youth exchanges at every stage of the process: preparation, implementation, evaluation, visibility, follow-up, and dissemination. -Provide NFE methods and ideas to facilitate group management and ensure the active participation of all participants at every stage of a youth exchange, including young people with fewer opportunities. -Offer a hands-on experience by applying the skills acquired in the training course through workshops and NFE methods with high school students. Additionally, as planned, we have successfully engaged various target groups in this project: 63 students of secondary and Bachillerato with 3 teachers from 3 educational centres with the workshops (IES Andrés Benítez, which is in an economically disadvantaged neighbourhood with increasing cultural diversity; IES Padre Coloma which is an international centre of high educational quality; IES Lola Flores which is in a working class neighbourhood on the outskirts of the city, with low economic income). In reality, we had foreseen collaboration with 1 centre, IES Andrés Benítez.
