With this project, we wanted to support future youth exchange leaders in successfully planning and implementing high-quality and inclusive youth projects. The aim was to provide them with comprehensive knowledge about the Erasmus+ programme, organizational and administrative processes as well as methodological and didactic skills. The training course strengthened intercultural skills, taught methods of social, creative, experiential and theater pedagogy and deepened knowledge of safety and legal issues, diversity management, democratic leadership, inclusion, feedback culture and conflict resolution. In addition, networks were established, European identity was promoted and the importance of informal and non-formal learning was emphasized. Aims of the project: - To impart knowledge about the Erasmus+ programme and the organization of youth exchanges - Strengthening methodological and didactic skills for the planning and implementation of youth exchanges - Promoting intercultural skills and awareness of a European identity - Teaching methods from social, creative, experiential and drama education - Training on safety and legal issues in the implementation of youth encounters - Promotion of diversity management, inclusion and democratic leadership - Strengthening the feedback culture and methods of evaluation and conflict resolution - Support with public relations work and dissemination of project results - Building networks for future international cooperation - Recognizing informal and non-formal learning, in particular through the Youthpass - Improvement of English language skills through constant use as the project language In the long term, the participants should be empowered to guide young people in their own contexts to organize high-quality youth encounters themselves. The project therefore not only contributed to individual skills development, but also promoted international exchange and sustainable networking for future cooperation.
