Centre Janeza Levca Ljubljana is one of the biggest instututions, providing education and schooling for children and youngsters with special needs. We enable them to aquire formal education. However, as our experiences have shown, the formal eduation is more successful if it includes the non-formal aspect. Having this in mind, we have been organising youth projects for more than a decade, this youth exchange being one of them. "Destination: healthier future"; is a youth exchange, including partners from Czech Republic, Finland (the two partners being our former partner organisations from last year), Ireland, Great Britain and Slovenia (latter being the host organisation), each with 6 participants and 2 leaders. The exchange is due to take place in mid September and will last for 8 days. The common point of all the partners is the population that we're working with - youngsters with fewer opportunities in the most delicate adolescent years, facing learning difficulties, having special needs or coming from disadvantaged backgrounds. They're between 15 and 19 years old. We were encouraged to host yet another youth exchange because of our participants' wish to meet the former partners again and to show what they have learned in the past year. The ourcomes were very positive and the results from past projects have long-term effects and can be seen still today. As not all of the participants are fluent in English, we have chosen a topic that would overcome the language barrier and that is common to youngsters around the world - together with the youngsters we have chosen a topic of healthy lifestyle, including sports, healthy eating, positive attitude towards yourself and the society. We see sports as the unique tool that defies all linguistic, cultural and other barriers. It is the sole thing that connects people in its true sense. The common aim is bringing different national sports and free time activities closer to one another and enriching eachother by spreading our cultural and other horizons. We are driven by the wish to achieve inclusion - providing the youngsters who have been pushed to the edge of social life, with the chance to create something of their own, giving them the message of their own worth and value.
