The project originated after REACH Across issued a partner request seeking a youth organisation of a similar age group and with similar activities/programmes. Both groups have provided wide-ranging international projects for many years and wanted to establish a new project with a new partner group. The first stage of the project will take place in July in Derry, Northern Ireland and the second stage will take place in Alba Iulia, Romania in August. Each group will include 12 young people and 2 leaders. The primary themes are to foster mutual understanding between young people in each country and to promote European co-operation in the youth field. The project aims to increase the awareness of participants in relation to cultural traditions, society and youth-related issues in other European countries. It will have a wide ranging content so as to promote inclusion, personal learning and life enhancing experiences. It will also encourage participants to understand the social consequences of conflict, racism or extremism and to make recommendations for a Shared Future in N. Ireland and a more integrated society in Europe. The project will encourage participants to be more active, healthier and respectful citizens and to develop personal skills, confidence levels and social input, that will have a positive impact on their communities.The project will be a combination of educational visits, development workshops, outdoor activities and groupwork sessions. It will also aim to give participants an insight into the benefits of European co-operation and to establish a working partnership for future projects.The project will promote healthy lifestyles, through outdoor activities and several sports, as an additional means of fostering social inclusion and active participation.
