Objectives

By implementing this project, we aim to create a non-formal learning space in which young people can develop key competences for personal, social, and civic development through participatory and experiential learning methods. From a youth work practice perspective, the project seeks to strengthen young people’s communication, teamwork, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving skills by engaging them in collaborative activities, structured reflection sessions, and intercultural exchange. The project provides a setting in which young people can learn by doing, testing ideas in practice, reflecting on outcomes, and learning from peers in a supportive environment. This approach reflects everyday youth work practice, where learning is embedded in experience, peer interaction, and shared problem-solving rather than formal instruction. The project aims to support young people in reflecting on social dynamics related to public judgement, reputation, and social exclusion in a safe and fictional setting. Through guided discussion and role-play-based scenarios, participants are encouraged to explore the social consequences of collective judgement, develop empathy, and practise respectful dialogue. This supports youth work objectives related to emotional awareness, perspective-taking, managing disagreement, and responsible participation in shared social spaces. Participants will be encouraged to link these reflections to situations they encounter in school, online spaces, peer groups, and community life. The use of fictional scenarios allows young people to explore sensitive topics without personal exposure, creating space for honest reflection and discussion, while also supporting a learning environment where mistakes and different viewpoints can be explored without judgement. In addition, the project aims to strengthen participants’ digital awareness and media literacy by encouraging critical reflection on online behaviour, digital identities, and the ethical use of digital tools and AI. Participants will be supported to reflect on their own online habits, the impact of group dynamics in digital spaces, and the responsibilities linked to participation in online communities. From a youth work perspective, this supports young people in becoming more conscious users of digital environments rather than passive consumers of online content. The project creates space to discuss topics such as peer pressure, public opinion, impulsive online reactions, and the long-term impact of digital traces, linking these discussions to everyday situations young people recognise from their own lives. From a youth work perspective, the project promotes youth participation, self-expression, and active involvement in shaping learning activities, giving young people real influence over the content and direction of the exchange. Participants will be encouraged to contribute their own experiences, questions, and perspectives, and to take an active role in group processes and reflection. This supports young people in building confidence to express opinions, take initiative, and engage more actively in their local youth groups and communities after the exchange. The project also supports the development of a sense of ownership over learning, as participants are not only recipients of activities but contributors to the learning process itself. This project also contributes to the promotion of shared values such as inclusion, respect, and participation within a European intercultural context. By working in mixed-nationality groups and engaging in dialogue across different social and cultural backgrounds, participants develop greater awareness of diversity, mutual respect, and the value of cooperation. Participants will be encouraged to reflect on how different social norms, communication styles, and experiences shape perspectives, and how these differences can be navigated in a respectful way. These objectives align with everyday youth work practice by supporting young people not only in acquiring competences, but also in developing attitudes and behaviours that support active, respectful participation in social and community life at local and European levels.
