“How we can do it” is Youth exchange project. 35 young people from Slovakia, Sicily, Ireland, Bulgaria, Portugal, Romania and Wales will meet in the middle of Slovakia, in the small village Prenčov. This region is biggest rural area in Slovakia facing several problems as unemployment, traditional conservatism, passivity about collective issues and lack of opportunities for social and cultural life. Young people´s opportunities to change the conditions seem to be limited. Participants of our project are facing similar situation. One of the reasons is that they lack options for self-development and managing skills for bringing the positive change to their community. Our objective is activation of young people towards rising to the occasion of positive change. That is why this project is focused on basics of project management with special attention to community building with ecological, economical and social sustainability. To fulfill this idea, we will use principles of “Permacultura”. Main method used is Dragon Dreaming. It is creative way of project management consisting of four phases: Dreaming (Creating the vision), planning, realization and celebration. Educational process will be supported by experimental project for local community which will serve as a model case for learning. Young people will have opportunity to get project managing skills not only in theoretical but also in practical way. Another aim is exploration and acquisition of self managing skills and development of human talents also in fields of art, handicraft and healthy lifestyle. We expect personal progress of participants in the field of project management achieved by gaining new skills, competences, knowledge and attitudes to be responsible for their personal and also community life. After return home to their local communities they should be highly motivated to realize some positive change enriched by many acquired tools and skills for active citizenship.
