Most towns and cities in Europe have great natural, historical, culinary and cultural heritage. On the other hand, young people lack sufficient opportunities for international mobility. To value this European heritage and meet this need for young people, we propose a youth exchange where tourist and educational routes and itineraries for visitors and themselves are developed. The exchange will take place in Munébrega, region of Calatayud, from 19 to 29 September 2016 for 24 participants from 4 different organizations (each send 5 young + 1 group leader). Participants will come from Portugal, Italy, Hungary and Spain (we have participants from Spain in the same region of Calatayud). We want to have young people between 18 and 25 years, with an open profile, with concerns for the care of the environment, knowledge of other cultures and interested in undertaking self-employment options, although previous training is not required.This project will have as main product a dossier in pdf and online that will be published on a platform online which will also serve for the preparation, processing and evaluation.

Promoting youth employment, self-education and an active and engaged citizenship with the care of the environment and sustainable projects.Activities based on non-formal education and environmental education, using active training methodology, participatory self-education that are primarly based on workshops, debates, pooled and dynamics of introduction.
