Activities

Our main activity is a youth exchange that will be held in Osterholz-Scharmbeck, near Bremen, Germany. The planned dates for the exchange are 13.-23.09.2019. During this exchange, 36 young participants and 6 group leaders will learn from each other and share their knowledge, experience, talents and ideas. There will be 6 countries participating on this exchange: Germany, Greece, Spain, Croatia, Italy and Macedonia and each team will be represented with 6 participants and one group leader.

Participants on the exchange will be young people between 18 and 30 years old, coming from 6 different countries: Croatia, Greece, Italy, Macedonia, Spain and Germany. Every country will be represented with 6 participants and 1 group leader that will be age 18+. Out of 42 people that will participate on the exchange, 18 will be participants with fewer opportunities and they will come from one of the following backgrounds: participants who are refugees, participants that have cultural differences or are part of minorities in their country and participants that are facing economical or geographical obstacles

The partners will be responsible for ensuring gender balance inside their team because for all workshops gender is not important and both genders can equally participate in it. All partners will send several participants with fewer opportunities to the exchange. These participants will have economical or geographical obstacles, or they will have different cultural background. We will also try to include refugees in the activity, as we always do on our exchanges.
