The members of Világjáró Önkéntes came up with the idea of an own youth exchange-Be Your Media- last year after several participations in youth exchanges as partner. Since we already have good relationship with other European organizations, we started to work on this project together, from the very beginning to the end of the writing of this application. The idea, to organize a youth exchange about media, came from previous experiences from other youth exchanges, and from the fact that media affect our lives in many different ways. Especially our target group, youngsters from 18-25, are well connected to different kinds of media, from social media to online media. The idea was, to get together youngsters from, at least, five countries in order to share their experiences about media, media consumption and raising their awareness about different kind of media issues. We think it will be an interesting experience to get a picture about, how media works in different countries, even if all of the groups will be from European Union. Furthermore it would be a perfect moment to raising the awareness of the youngsters about manipulation through media, and have a reflection about it.So, the main objectives of the project are to analyse the differences how media works in different countries, to examine how people use media in Europe and also to analyse the differences between old and new media. Other main aims of the project, as we mentioned above, are to raise the participants awareness about manipulation in media and about the power of social media. As secondary objectives, we want to raise the awareness about European values, and mobility opportunities and increase the popularity of Erasmus+ and non-formal education.In this project, we would like to involve 30 youngsters (include the 5 leaders) from 5 European countries. We tried to involve organizations from all over Europe to this project. In order to this goal, a French, an Italian, a Romanian a Polish and a Hungarian group will participate in the project, which is a guarantee to have an exciting exchange. We won’t recommend from the participants high level of English, in order to have the chance to involve those youngsters into the project who usually would not participate in a youth exchange. We will welcome firstly those youngsters who never took part in Erasmus+ projects.During the project, we will have an APV in July, where we will have the chance to meet with the partners, and have discuss about many details of the exchange. Also it will be a perfect event to share our ideas about the participant’s profile and to show the place where the exchange will be and to present our organization. As it will be our first youth exchange, we believe that an APV is indispensable if we want a successful project. In November we will organize the youth exchange, in Debrecen. Debrecen seemed to be an optional place to organize the exchange, because it’s easily reachable and it has a young and energetic atmosphere, and last but not least Világjáró Önkéntes is based in the city. During the nine days of the exchange the participants will have the chance to learn about the topic, change their experiments about how media working, share their ideas about social media and face those issues which are related with media consumption. During the workshops we will use non formal education tools, and all the workshops will require active participation from the youngsters. We want to involve the youngsters as much as possible during the workshops, so in order to this, we will mix the groups, and also offer to them to hold warm ups if they interested. They will have the chance to get to know the city and the locals during the “Discover Debrecen” workshop, when they will make interviews with the citizens, like real reporters. As we mentioned above, during the exchange we will use non formal education methods, so the participants won’t feel that they are in a ”school situation”.The youth exchange will have different kind of results. We believe that a Youth Exchange can leave a big impact in the youngsters, and can shape their thoughts and behaviour. After 8 days of workshops about media, and media consumption hopefully will make them more conscious about the topic, and will raise their awareness also. As another result, we would like to share with them the Erasmus+ experiment and the feeling of an international community. Moreover the exchange will have many other impacts in different levels. During the workshops with the local community, we can share and spread the idea of Erasmus+, in order to involve more people into international mobility projects. For our organization it will be a great chance to show ourselves to our partners, and to start new, even long term partnerships. . Hopefully this exchange will give us the chance to start work on future projects, which would be a great next step for Világjáró Önkéntes!
