Exchange
The main goal of this exchange is to show young people with fewer opportunities how to take active role in the life of their community, provide them possibility to get new skills and knowledge and increase their ability to create projects tackling and solving the common community problems.
Young people with fewer opportunities are facing many problems. The source of this we can find in fact that the society is not aware of their problems and has no information about the lives of young people with fewer opportunities. Lack of information can very easily lead to misunderstandings and potential conflicts.
To change the perception of majority is significantly important that people with fewer opportunities will raise their voices and stop being silent that they will take active role in their local communities. It is more than important in small cities where no bridging activities as implemented for example by NGOs or local authorities. In these cases is significantly important that these young people will become active – will become drivers of the change and they will start to take steps to change the situation.
In help of the process of sharing knowledge, opinion and attitude of the topic, the project will use non-formal educational methods like discussions, workshops, group work,role play, Analysis of the situation or case, brainstorming, practical work, etc.
