EXCHANGE IN PORTUGAL - LAST TWO PARTICIPANTS - URGENT

Noored Ühiskonna Heaks (NYH) is promoting a call for participants for a Youth Exchange called “INterACTION” which will take place in 13^th until 22^nd July 2013 in Coimbra, Portugal.

The activities are planned according to the goals of this project which are, raise awareness among citizens for their right to live freely in other countries of the EU; raise awareness on the benefits of the politics and rights of the EU; stimulate active participation in the process of  creation of the EU’s policies; create solidarity between citizens from different countries, backgrounds and experiences and promote tolerance among citizens; foster social cohesion in the European Union; foster mutual understanding through alternative ways of communication; stimulate debating on the impacts on the right of free circulation and it’s potentials;

“InterACTION” means reciprocal action, effect, or influence. As the name suggests, we will base our work on this concept, communicating, influencing one another, sharing, developing minds and attitudes. We will be working on these themes, with the participants and the local community, with non-formal education practices and techniques, energizers, team building exercises, brainstorming, debates, intercultural activities, and reflection groups, among others. In order to this to happen we patronize the exchange of ideas and creativity, stimulating the development of personal and group competences. To understand if the goals are being achieved, there will be daily evaluations performed by reflection mixed groups, where the participants self-evaluate about the skills and competences gained. 

This Exchange will bring together 36 participants from Italy, Portugal, Spain, Estonia, Turkey and Norway. The exchange will be held in English. There are 6 vacancies available and participants should have minimum 18 years old.

The Youth in Action programme will cover 100% of the accommodation, food and activities and will reimburse the participants with 70% of the travel costs. There will be a participation fee of 40 Eur. per participant.
