Major issues, which are suposed to be mentioned are the following: low voter turnout on parliamentary elections in Europe, frequent symptoms of intolerance, cultural diversity. We're going to know the ways of organising electoral campaigns, we wil see if preparing the electoral spot is challenging and how it is to be the lider. In the exchange 40 participants will take part, 8 people from each, in the age 18-26. Mailny they are people in hard life situation and according to economical and geographical obstacles the don't have as much possibilities as their peers. We wil be working with nonformal education methods to improve soft and hard skills. We want to give a reason to reflect on your own attitiude. Our will is to change ignorants into active citizens and Europeans, who have an ability of logical arguing their own opinion and convince others of its right. We assume, that our exchange will have a positive influence on our local reality, society and political environment, thanks to participation of foreign countries will get an international scope. Youthpass certificates are going to be the evidence of skills and great complement of CV. In a case of long-lasting benefits we have to mention of the influence on our participants, their sorrounding, rivetting international friendships, continuation.
