DESIGN IDEA 1) was suggested to us by our volunteers who was interested in the subject of the project. By participating in other projects, they began to wonder about the role of stereotypes in the life of each person. The project for them aimed to learn as much as possible about thinking and prejudices. Therefore, the idea of an international youth exchange in which you can confront your prejudices and have them verified. Our young people participated in the school project and it turned out that the students were very interested in Erasmus + projects and would love to be able to get to know other, culturally distant countries. 2) was inspired by the needs of the young people themselves, who, inspired by the visit of people from other countries, wanted to further expand their knowledge in that way. They would especially like to organize an exchange of young people about stereotypes in different cultures and stereotypes in general, because during a meeting organized at the school they realized that they carry a lot of such stereotypes. As the students of the school expressed a great interest in other diverse cultures, as well as themselves identified that they had a lot of stereotypes about other nations, we decided to include very different culturally countries in the exchange project. Based on the analysis of the needs of our organization, young people to whom we directed the youth exchange from Poland, as well as the analysis of the needs of young people and partner organizations (which we made on the basis of Skype conversations, questionnaires of needs and interests, and e-mail communication), we formulated the goals of the project: 1) promoting intercultural dialogue, counteracting stereotypes among young people We saw the need to promote intercultural dialogue, and there was no better way to combat stereotypes about a culture than meeting and talking to a person from a certain culture. That is why our project was attended by young people from 5 very different cultural and religious countries. During joint discussions, games, simulations and presentations, they learned about the theoretical dimension of stereotypes, as well as follow in practice and discuss specific examples of stereotypes. 2) strengthening key skills of young people, with an emphasis on creating awareness of what these competences are and what are the paths of their development As the age group in our project was 18-25 years old, we knew that this is a very important period in developing their key competences. Therefore, every day in our project there was a workshop on one key competence - what is it, how it can be acquired. Young people discussed their own ideas and plans for developing each of these competences. 3) promoting tolerance and openness to other countries, nations and religions among the local community. The next step after intercultural dialogue and denial of stereotypes is tolerance, curiosity and openness to other cultures. We wanted to promote these values among the youth from our organizations, to which the youth exchange and accompanying events are to contribute exchange. 4) Increasing knowledge about European projects and EU values and motivation to participate in non-formal education. This was the first Erasmus + exchange for most participants. The project increased their knowledge of European projects and EU values.
