Let´s learn from each other!
Start date: Aug 1, 2014, End date: Jun 1, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Over the last two years the number of young volunteers and activists (high school students) in our organization significally increased. They have already carried out a series of smaller projects and the project Let's Learn from Each Other! would like to equip them with new skills, competencies, methodology and enable them to exchange best practices in organizing projects with other young people from Europe, present them the opportunities within Erasmus + also by showing them some of the best practices in the local environment, actively include them in the preparation of the exchange itself (each group of young people is to be responsible for preparing one part of the programme) and present them in practice the concept of active citizenship and various forms of participation. Participants will come from four European countries and from four different organizations that strive for the same goal - integrating young people into further activities and improving their skills. The project will also provide a link between knowledge acquired in formal education and on the other hand, informal, because the young people will come from two non-governmental organizations in Italy and Slovenia and from the high school in Bulgaria and the Latvian organization that brings together foster families. The number of participants will be 24 together with leaders and each of them has at least little experience in volunteering or a lot of motivation to be active outside the established structures. Age of participants will be from 15-19 years. The methodology of the project will be participatory, interactive, and young people will be the ones who will create the course of the exchange, the leaders will be present mostly only as facilitators. Concrete result will be a leaflet with the methods for young people to work with young people and have been used in exchange, but the positive impact on young people will be willingness to take on more responsibility in co-creating projects, improvemd self-esteem, they will be equipped with the competencies of working in a multicultural environment and improve their soft skills. In the long run the project itself and presentation of the project in the local environment will encourage more young people to engage in voluntary activities and represent the starting point for organizing a similar project, exchange methods with more partners and empower even more young volunteers.
