Buddy2Buddy PLUS
Start date: Aug 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2014 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The Youth Exchange, with the title "Buddy2Buddy PLUS (B2B) will take place in Tocha, Portugal . In “B2B” we include 34 youngsters mainly with fewer opportunities (youngsters with mental disabilities and youngsters in risk of social exclusion - addictions, family or behavior problems, etc.) from the countries: Portugal, Spain , Italy and The Netherlands. During the Youth Exchange we simulate the youngsters to work together with their buddies and support each other to enhance social inclusion. The main objectives of B2B: To give opportunities to disadvantaged and disabled youngsters by including them in the overall process of preparing, implementing and evaluation through active participation, to foster mutual understanding, to develop personal and social competences, to broaden horizons and increase open-mindedness, to improve solidarity and cooperation among youngsters, to allow people to participate in an international experience, to increase awareness about personal future through social experiences, and to achieve a better understanding between different cultures. To meet the objectives we have chosen different and creative non formal learning methods and techniques: Group-building, energisers and Ice-breaking games; meeting the environmental context; inter cultural moments; sharing experiences; physical and sportive games; expression and inter cultural communication by theater and music workshops; reflection and sharing moments; follow up preparation and challenges, etc. Results, Impact and the potential long term benefits: The expected impact on the participants will be very big. Nearly everything will be new as the majority of the participants never took part in a multi cultural event. They will learn in a non formal way about other cultures, countries, different approaches and similarities that will broaden the horizons of the participants involved.
