Many good business ideas haven't developed into real business because there was lack of an effective team. The survey results of need analysis in the labour market made by University foundation Campus Europae this year showed that most of the employers as one of the most desirable skills what they expect from they employees are Interpersonal skills like work in teams, problem solving etc. Furthermore nowadays the societies become more international as well as growing businesses are usually international businesses - it means that in order to increase the employability of youth, they need also inter-cultural communication skills, skills to work in international team and international environment.Usually during the youth exchanges there are a lot of games and activities available for team building, however there is a lack of explanation of psychological aspects of processes what the team is going through, to become as an effective team, about barriers in teamwork and how to overcome them, how to increase the commitment and the accountability. Making the youth more aware of psychological processes in a team work using the methods "learning by doing" will help the to learn how to build the trust, develop the commitment and how to resolve conflicts. They employability of youth will grow then noticeably.he aim of the project "From Forming till Performing in International Environment" is to improve the team working skills of youth in international environment by using different informal education methods and to make the youth more aware on the processes in a team work.The objectives of the project are:- to help the youth to become more aware of team team developing processes with an emphasis on international teams,-to encourage the youth to be honest and to help them to overcome the conflict, if the opinion in the team is different-to help the youth to go through the project phases together with their team and become more aware on tools which they can use to make projects in team more successful -to promote the idea of "Youth initiative" and to encourage the youth to share their ideas and develop international projects with international teams in this field-to help the youth to learn from they mistake and to encourage them to find the solutions if something goes in different way as planned before-to make the youth aware on cultural differences, to help them to learn from different cultures and to find the ways of collaboration with people from different cultures.In this youth exchange project 36 participants will be involved.
