"You, Wake up 2!" is a youth exchange in Äänekoski, Finland. The main themes are environment and youth leisure. The aim is to get to know the other culture and to understand the differences and similiarities. By adding the knowledge about another culture we increase the tolerance and respect towards other people. Other aim is to socially reinforce the youngsters who are taking part in the project. The youth exchange lasts 8 days. The countries taking part are Finland and Spain. The total amount of participants is 35. Many youngsters in both groups have weak language skills, so the program is based on non-formal learning and learning by doing. We have different kind of workshops, study visits and games. We get to know the nature, finnish recycling system and freetime acitivites. The main income for the youngsters is to learn to appreciate the nature and themselves. They will learn to understand the impact on the choises they make. We do evaluation during the exchange by talking and with dynamic activities.The project is a follow-up for a project "Wake Up! Europe" that took place with these two partner groups in the summer 2013.
