Home Sweet Home???
Start date: May 2, 2016, End date: Oct 1, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Youth exchange "Home Sweet Home" takes place on 18th to 28th of July 2016 in Laulasmaa and is about refugees, internally displaced & stateless people. The exchange is inspired by the currently worsening refugee crisis and the discussion it has brought up across Europe. The aim of the project is to fight against the spread of false information regarding refugees and to increase tolerance and empathy among the youth. Participants of the youth exchange are 30 people in the age range of 20-30 who are interested in the topic.During 11 days of the youth exchange, participants learn to understand the every day situation of refugees, internally displaced & stateless people through taking part in interactive activities. The project agenda includes different workshops and discussions, role-playing games, debating and meeting with experts and going to the Vao refugee centre. Through those activities participants learn a lot about the project topic and develop new skills in themselves. At the end of the youth exchange, participants develop a short workshop that they can later use in their home cities to teach other youth about the topic. Participants of the youth exchange can spread their knowledge through carrying out those workshops and help to increase tolerance in the whole society.
