Life Connection (LC) is an international youth exchange involving 39 young people from Denmark, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, FYROM, Italy and Greece which will take place from the 12 till 18 April 2016 in Bornholm, Denmark .LC promotes young people's social inclusion and well-being by involving young people with fewer opportunities (unemployed young people, young people belonging to disadvantaged social strata or coming from rural isolated areas) and by introducing them to the universe of active citizenship and democratic participation. At the same time LC tackles the issue of youth unemployment by helping the participants to develop basic and transversal skills, such as entrepreneurship, digital skills and multilingualism, through innovative learner-centered pedaLogical approaches and certification methods based on learning outcomes.The aim is to promote a new model of society in which environment is conceived and experienced as part of the community universe and not as a external element that needs to be dominated.During the exchange, the participants will be encouraged to explore, highlight and compare the best practices and alternative models existing within their realities, looking beyond the purely economic value corresponding to the explored realities.LC program of work is structured in order to introduce the participant to the universe of social economy and green opportunities and to explore with them alternative tools for creating employment and for ideating and realizing an entrepreneurial project permeated by the values of happy de-growth and green economy.
