One of the key factors on which we were focused was the creation of partnership with the local administration and the local communities. In the exchange, there were 27 participants, mainly young people from regions with lower possibilities of employment or non-formal education. The exchange took place in the estates of the Sedlice village, the Slovak Republic. We incorporated various techniques and methods of non-formal education (f. ex. team work, experiential learning, thematic workshops, educational excursion and national evening party). Some activities were opened to local young people and the general public under the promotion of the OWLish and Erasmus+ ideas. Incorporating the participants into the every project stage, they obtained the organizational skills and proposals for further activities with the youths. It could be pronounced that we had significantly motivated the participants via realized activities to the cultivation of international cooperation, taking part in the local and regional events and the work with the youths. Personal experiences with the event of such type and direct contact with the volunteering will help the cultivation of the national and cultural awareness as well as the intercultural relationships. The opened activities promoted individual cultures, regions and the Erasmus+ project in public.
