It will have a teaching methodology with a mixture of theoretical content and practical exercises. Learning will be based on personal experience, reflection and group work. Participants will share their tools with others, give and receive information and lay the foundations for their transferability and development.The Exchange will be in Malaga as is the Autonomous Community with the highest percentage of complaints presented by domestic violence. It will be from 3 to 9 October 2016 and involve a total of 32 young people between 18 and 30 years plus trainers and support staff, a total of 8 partners. The program consists of workshops, exercises, discussions, simulations, games, etc. they themselves designed.The project activities are based on a combination of social non-formal education and the language used is English.Introduce that ICTs have changed the way young people live their relationships, making it more open. Allowing them to always know where they partner are, what they are doing, who they're talking to, etc. These manifestations may be the prelude to a violent relationship or a relationship of domination; therefore it is necessary to create a common strategy to stop the escalation of violence against women that is occurring throughout Europe in recent years by the economic crisis and the great cultural differences due to migration. Preventing and sensitizing youth ages avoid future irrational behaviors of domestic violence.
