Within this project we have organised four youth exchanges. The first youth exchange took place between June 6-11th 2023 on the topic of tolerance, with a total of 35 participants. The title of the youth exchange was Difference is not a Defect. The essence of the youth exchange was to increase tolerance, acceptance of each other, developing our emotional intelligence, and breaking down discrimination and stereotypes. Our objectives were: - destroying prejudices, stereotypes and discrimination - increasing tolerance, solidarity and acceptance in participants - getting to know cultural diversity - strenghtening European identity Participants came from Romania (7+1), Poland (7+2), Hungary (9+1) and Slovakia (9+1). The topic is very popular among young people, and it is also a popular topic for our youth exchanges as well. The youth exchanges in Velke Kapusany are very popular among youth, and if possible, our organisation does not reject youth, that is why we have a slightly higher number of participates than originally planned. Further goals of the project were to acquaint young people with different cultures, to familiarize them with the customs and traditions of the partner countries, to develop the personal and key competencies of the young participants through good practices, and to make awareness in young people of the importance of diversity. We encouraged European youth to participate in similar projects, spread tolerance and acceptance of differences among young people. We have also developed our network of partnerships and strengthened the relationship between project partners. To reach this goal we organized group-building workshops so that they could work together as much as possible in mixed groups, they discussed and processed each other's stereotypes, they did tie dye, they made videos about stereotypes, and we also organized sports programs. The second youth exchange we realised between 3-9th July 2023 in Velke Kapusany, under the name Let’s Focus on Focus. The main aim of the youth exchange was to persuade the youth to use less their smart phones, different apps, social media. We wanted to draw attention on the importance of personal relationships and the necessity of spending time in nature. We also drew their attention on the dangers of the Internet and focused on the topic of Internet bullying. Nowadays it is very difficult for us to concentrate, because there are several digital devices around us which continuously distract us. We introduced activities that strengthen concentration and we put the phones away. Objectives of the youth exchange were: - to take a break from using electronic devices such as smartphones, computers and social media platforms - to focus on more important things than the phone and social media– strengthen attention span - strengthening personal relationships - getting to know cultural diversity - strenghtening European identity The project had a total of 44 participants from Spain 7+1, Latvia 8+1, Poland 7+1+1, Slovakia 17+1. The third youth exchange "Green is the New Chic" was realised from 28th of August to 3rd of September 2023 in Velke Kapusany, with young people from Spain, Bulgaria, Romania and Slovakia. Its main topic was environmental consciousness. We dealt with the topic how we can become green in our households. It included interesting programs: we visited an apiary, the young entreprenuers showed the importance of bees in food-chane, we visited the natural green garden, we were thinking about our overall consumption and we calculated carboon footprints, we made traditional products: baking of bread, pastry, ajvar from fresh vegetables and we solved a case study. Objectives were to: increase the consciousness of environment protection make youth be more environmentally conscious to reduce consumption to reduce food waste improving entrepreneurship reducing communal waste make our homes greener to increase European identity in youth Distribution of participant between countries: Bulgaria: 7+2 Spain: 7+1 Romania: 8+1 Slovakia: 9+1 Young people got closer to the topic of environmental consciousness through practical tasks. This gave them more than just listening to lectures during formal education at schools. We believe that all participants got closer to the topic during the program, and after that they think about their environment with more responsibility. They will proudly show the finished objects and tell you what they are made of. The fourth youth exchange Road to Success was realised from 11-16 March 2024 in Velke Kapusany.
