Our project was two tired approach. We held two Youth Exchanges on the same topic with the same youth organisations, one in each country. And we also facilitated a youth worker mobility training in Ireland. From the point of view of the Youth Exchanges we wanted to achieve the following : Promoting Youth Mobility: Through our Erasmus+ Youth Exchange projects we aim to encourage young people from the Traveller Community to explore different cultures, languages, and ways of life by participating in activities with other young people from european Countries. Enhancing Learning Opportunities: These projects provide young people with opportunities for non-formal and informal learning experiences. These included workshops, games, and other non-fromal educational activities.

Building Social and Personal Skills: Participants develop a range of skills, including teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and intercultural competence, which are valuable for personal development and future employability. Encouraging Active Citizenship: The program aims to empower young people to be active and engaged citizens in their communities and in a broader European context.
