Objectives

The main objective of the project, as outlined in the document, is to bring together Finnish and Hungarian hard-of-hearing young people to enhance their self-esteem, cultural understanding, and language skills. The project aims to address the challenges these youth face in participating in international exchanges due to language barriers and their hearing disabilities. Key objectives include: Creating an environment for peer support across cultures. Helping participants feel more confident in using foreign languages, particularly English. Fostering a sense of belonging and combating feelings of isolation among hard-of-hearing youth. Building long-lasting friendships, reducing preconceptions, and empowering participants through non-formal learning activities
