By implementing this project, sfd, FAB and RCWG aim to strengthen the role of volunteering as a tool for youth participation, intercultural dialogue and social responsibility, while at the same time building practical competences of young people and pur staff involved in the process. From a youth work perspective, the project is designed as a learning journey that combines non-formal education, international mobility and real social engagement in local communities in both Poland and Germany. One of the main objectives is to increase young people’s awareness of their potential as active citizens. Through participation in structured workshops, reflection sessions and hands-on volunteering activities, participants will better understand how their individual actions can influence their surroundings. Youth work methods used in the project will focus on empowerment, peer learning and experiential learning, allowing participants not only to receive knowledge but to actively co-create it. We want young people to leave the project with a stronger sense of agency, self-confidence and readiness to initiate their own local initiatives. Another important objective is the development of intercultural competences and openness towards diversity. By bringing together young volunteers from Poland and Germany and additionally involving participants of the Puls Camp Bremen, many of whom have migrant or multicultural backgrounds, the project creates a natural environment for intercultural exchange. Youth work practice here is based on dialogue, cooperation in mixed groups and shared daily activities such as volunteering, cooking or creative workshops. This direct contact helps reduce stereotypes, supports empathy and builds practical skills in communication across cultures, which are increasingly important in contemporary European societies. The project also aims to strengthen the quality and visibility of volunteering as a learning pathway. Participants will not only engage in community service but will also consciously reflect on their learning outcomes through tools such as volunteer diaries, group evaluations and the Youthpass process. From a youth work perspective, this supports recognition of non-formal learning and helps young people translate their experiences into competences relevant for further education, employment and civic engagement. The objective is to show that volunteering is not only an act of solidarity but also a structured educational experience. A further objective is to build sustainable cooperation between organisations and youth groups. The exchange is structured in two mobilities – first in Gdańsk and later in Bremen – which allows relationships to develop over time rather than during a single short meeting. It will be preceded by APV in order to focus on all important issues before the exchange. Youth workers and facilitators play an important role in taking-care of participants, ensuring inclusion, emotional safety and equal participation. This continuity supports deeper learning processes, trust building and long-term motivation to stay involved in social activities after the project ends.
