YOUTH EXCHANGE IN PORTUGAL - CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS

Noored Ühiskonna Heaks (NYH) is promoting a call for participants for a Youth Exchange called “We Are Europe” which will take place in 3^rd until 14^th August 2015 in Lisbon, Portugal.

The young people will take part in several activities under the main topics of European Awareness and Education through sport and outdoor activities. Each day there will be a subject regarding Europe and activities to explore that subject. Some examples are European Citizenship, Culture, Heritage, Sports, Youth or Environment.

The young people will have the chance to know the local community and to have contact with the Portuguese culture and habits and share at the same time their own culture with the other members of the group. It’s also planned a “Market of Cultures” where each group will present his own country and culture to the community.

In the end of the youth exchange we hope that the young people become more aware of their role in the society and about the importance of Intercultural Dialogue to reach one more inclusive Europe. We also hope that this can be the beginning of several individual and group projects in each participant home town. Throughout the project duration young people will participate in creative workshops, group building activities, country presentations, an excursion, group discussions, meeting local volunteers.

They will explore different techniques, new ways of expressing trough sports. Participants will also spend a day with local community, where they will have an opportunity to get to know more about Portugal and our reality.

This event will bring together 49 participants from Portugal, Spain, Italy, Romania, France, Greece, Bulgaria and Estonia. The event will be held in English. There are 6 vacancies available and participants should have minimum 18 years old until 30 years old.

The Erasmus + Programme will cover 100% of the accommodation, food and activities and will reimburse 100% of the travel costs for the participants (up to 400 euros). There will be a participation fee of 40 Eur. per participant.
