Razmjena mladih "Reach out for the Future" održati će se u Velikom Žitniku u jesen 2014 godine. Cilj razmjene je inspirirati mlade ljude iz različitih kulturnih sredina da budu proaktivni, potaknuti ih na samozapošljavanje i zdrav život. Želja nam je motivirati mlade ljude da budu aktivni u svojim lokalnim zajednicama i na profesionalnoj razini, potaknuti ih da pokrenu svoje projekte, da žive kvalitetnijim životom i steknu zdrave životne i poslovne navike. Kroz deset dana razmjene sudionici će sudjelovati u raznim aktivnostima na otvorenom, kao što su penjanje, planinarenje, kampiranje, žongliranje i slacklining. Sudjelovanje u ovim i sličnim aktivnostima izložit će ih novim situacijama u kojima će razviti unutarnje spoosobnosti, naučiti raditi u timu, naučiti ovisiti jedni o drugima i steći nove vještine. Razmjena uključuje i posjetu Memorijalnom Centru Nikola Tesla u Smiljanu, rodnom gradu Nikole Tesle. Participanti će naučiti o ovom velikom izumitelju, koji je bio toliko ispred svog vremena i na taj način biti će inspirirani da realiziraju vlastite ideje. Na kraju razmjene participanti će imati priliku iskoristiti svo znanje stečeno tokom razmjene da razviju svoj vlastiti projekt u svrhu pomoći lokalnim zajednicama. Biti će na njima da osmisle što smatraju korisnim za lokalnu zajednicu bio to kreativan ili praktični projekt. Time želimo osnažiti mlade ljude da samostalno donose odluke kako bi razvili vještine i kompetencije vezane uz zapošljavanje. Projekt će uključivati 25 mladih ljudi iz 5 različitih zemlja (Hrvatska, Italija, Portugal, Poljska i Češka) koji će razmjenjivati osobna iskustva o zdravom životu, te dijeliti tradicije i lokalni folklor. Izmjenjujući tradicije sa drugima, participanti će dijeliti svoju kulturu, svoje običaje i steći internacionalne kontakte i prijateljstva.
