With our project we want to achieve lasting change both for the young participants and for the youth organisations that support them. From the perspective of youth work practice, this project is designed as a concrete response to the challenges that youth workers and young people face across Europe: discrimination, lack of inclusion, weak participation, limited access to Erasmus+ opportunities, and insufficient tools for digital and sustainable youth work. We want to create a youth exchange that is not only an international meeting, but also a model of good youth work practice. By designing and implementing the project ourselves, as young people, with the support of our organisations, we show that youth can take responsibility, plan educational activities, and involve peers from different backgrounds. Our aim is to demonstrate how a youth exchange can serve as a safe space for intercultural dialogue, competence development, and empowerment, while respecting Erasmus+ Youth Quality Standards. For youth workers, the project will provide new methods, tools, and inspiration for working with young people with fewer opportunities. For young participants, it will provide practical experience in planning, teamwork, facilitation, and reflection, which are all essential in non-formal learning. For organisations, it will strengthen capacity, digital competences, and ability to reach disadvantaged groups. For the wider community, it will spread knowledge about Erasmus+ and European values, motivating more young people to join. * Our objectives in youth work practice. - To create a cultural exchange where young people share and explore stories of migration and identity. This builds empathy, reduces stereotypes, and equips youth workers with participatory methods such as storytelling, role plays, and creative arts to address sensitive issues. - To deepen understanding of European identity, citizenship, and values. We will translate these abstract concepts into daily youth work practice by discussing them in interactive sessions, connecting them to young people’s lives, and encouraging active participation in community and democratic processes. - To promote the inclusion of marginalised young people. At least half of our participants are facing fewer opportunities (economic, cultural, geographical). Through reinforced preparation, mentoring, and peer support, we will make sure they are fully included. Youth workers will learn how to adapt methods, provide extra support, and create safe spaces for participation. - To strengthen key competences through non-formal learning. Participants will practice teamwork, dialogue, creativity, leadership, and facilitation. Since most sessions will be led by participants themselves, youth workers will observe and support peer-to-peer learning in action, a core principle of high-quality youth work. - To practice sustainable and green skills in youth work. We will use eco-friendly practices during the exchange (green travel, no single-use plastic, local food, waste sorting, digital tools instead of paper). Youth workers will learn how to integrate sustainability into daily practice, while participants will develop habits they can bring back to their communities. - To promote Erasmus+ and create strategies to attract newcomers. One of our objectives is to raise awareness about Erasmus+ among young people who have never joined before. Participants will co-create a website, make presentations in schools and communities, and post on social media. This will serve as a tool for youth workers to reach more young people and make Erasmus+ more inclusive. * Youth work methods and approach. All objectives will be achieved through non-formal learning methods: workshops, debates, simulations, creative arts, storytelling, outdoor activities, digital tools, and daily reflection sessions. These methods make the project inclusive, participatory, and engaging. Youthpass will be used throughout the process, not just as a certificate but as a structured reflection on competences. * Long-term perspective. By implementing this project, we want to contribute to youth work practice in three main ways: - For participants: they will grow as active citizens and multipliers, applying their competences in schools, universities, workplaces, and communities. - For organisations: they will gain experience in inclusive youth work, digital cooperation, and sustainable practices, making them stronger for future Erasmus+ projects. - For European youth work: our outputs (guide, website, presentations, social media campaigns) will be shared widely, providing concrete examples of how youth exchanges can address migration, identity, and inclusion in practice.
