Youth exchange “Youth brings the Change” will take place in Craiova, Romania from 2 May till 11 May 2016 and will gather 32 young people from Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.Every child, young person is a member of society, have equal right as adults to choose what will be best for their cities, especially because they going to live in those cities in future.From our point of view active participation of young people in decisions and actions at local and national level is essential, to build more democratic, inclusive and prosperous societies. It’s not only about voting one time in few year, it’s about creating beautiful places around you. Is important to mention, that every young person is unique and have their own way to express themselves in environment (community) and sometimes is difficult for them to realize that something that they are good at, can be helpful in developing their cities.Therefore it is crucial that young people will have chance to see, share and to try different type examples on implementing creative ideas in development of the cities, in order to let them choose what is more suitable for them.
