Time Machine: Discover the Past, Imagine the Future is an exchange partnership project between the Jack Kane Community Centre, in Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom and Finis Terrae, in Italy. The project has been initiated by young people, and targets young people aged 15-21years of age. In total there are 16 young people involved in this project, (8 males and 8 females) and they all live within an area affected by multiple deprivation and as a result have economic barriers to participation. This is all the young people's first experience of an exchange project. The key needs and issues that this project will address are; youth unemployment (locally and globally), youth aspirations and opportunities for the future within the European community, youth participation and European citizenship. The objectives of the project are as follows: 1. To provide socially excluded young people from both groups the opportunity to participate in an intercultural exchange 2. To develop young people’s awareness in relation to living within an European context. 3. To use the issue of youth employment as an educational tool for young people to challenge stereotypes, raise European awareness and promote equal opportunities. 4. To promote European awareness in relation to issues that affect young people by encouraging young people to think critically about their environment by relating the micro to the macro. 5. To develop a range of skills with young people such as communication and organisational skills as well as to gain competences in a foreign language. 6. To provide an opportunity for young people to experience difference and discover similarities. 7.
