The project aims to provide young people with a space for self-expression, competence development, and intercultural exchange through dance and creative activities, with a strong focus on inclusion, well-being, and youth participation. 1. Main objectives from a youth work perspective Personal development and self-expression of participants Provide a safe and supportive environment where young people can express their ideas, emotions, and creativity through dance and movement. SMART goal: At least 80% of participants will be able to identify and reflect on their personal strengths and competences developed by the end of the exchange. Competence and skill development Enhance creativity, collaboration, communication, intercultural understanding, and problem-solving skills through non-formal learning. SMART goal: Each participant will take part in at least 3 different types of workshops that develop specific competences (dance, reflective, intercultural). Inclusion and support for disadvantaged participants Provide support to young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, including participants from war-affected areas of Ukraine, through mentoring, psychosocial support, and a safe environment. SMART goal: 100% of disadvantaged participants will have access to individual mentoring and additional support during the project. Intercultural exchange and European values Promote mutual understanding, respect, and civic competences through joint activities, discussions, and collaborative choreography creation. SMART goal: Each participant actively collaborates with at least two participants from another country and reflects on this collaboration in daily debriefs. Participation and active citizenship Encourage young people to actively plan, implement, and evaluate activities, developing responsibility and engagement in their communities. SMART goal: Participants will be involved in at least 2 phases of the project: preparing parts of the program, leading workshops, or implementing follow-up activities in their communities. 2.
