Within the international youth exchange „YOU and ME and ECOLOGY“ between 04/08/2014 and 14/08/2014, thirty-seven young people from France, Serbia, Ukraine and Germany meet in southern Germany. Placing emphasis on the issue "Ecology", this project is the third meeting within a cycle of four meetings of the partner organisations with the overall topic “Regional/European Identity”. The main objectives are the intercultural dialog within the participants and the raising of the participants’ awareness of “Regional/European Identity” and environmental consciousness. This youth exchange is addressed to young people at the age between 16 and 25 and supports the participation of handicapped and socially disadvantaged people. While dealing with the topic "Ecology", the participants reflect the ecological problems, the approaches to solve them and the role of nature conservation in their home countries. To get the participants involved in practical nature conservation, a three-day workcamp will be established in a nature reserve nearby. The topics “Regional/European Identity” and “Stereotypes and Predjudices” are treated within a framework of discussions, teamwork and role plays. Within various excursions, the participants learn about the cities, landscape and employers, which characterise the "Regional Identity" for the surrounding area. To get to know the four participating countries and to support the intercultural dialog, the participants will introduce their home countries at special evening meetings. The international youth exchange will strengthen various competences of the participants, e. g. foreign language competence, cross-cultural competence, social competence, consciousness of EU-citizenship and environmental consciousness. The education of future advisors, carried out by the partner organisations, will be be enhanced by the experiences gathered within this youth exchange. Press releases will carry out the contents of this project to local people and strengthen the European sense of community.
