YOUTH EXCHANGE IN POLAND - CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS

Noored Ühiskonna Heaks (NYH) is promoting a call for participants for a Youth Exchange called “Let’s play together!” which will take place from 6^th until 14^th December 2017 in Olsztyn, Poland.

The main purpose of the project is to show the alternative of spending free time in a creative way, using national games that were popular in the old days when there were no smartphones, TV or the Internet and our grandparents played it, and for us are unknown. During the project, you will get to know the various popular games from the other country, play them, and then in two international groups we will be working on new games, combining some of the elements from previously known games. New games will be presented and tested by children from the Town Kindergarten. The best game (after voting by our „testers”) will be distribute in our countries.

The project will allow developing creative thinking while creating a new original game and will feel that all participants create something new, innovative, original and useful for the whole of Europe. Participants will learn to work in international groups, develop their creativity, critical thinking, and gain social competence. During the exchange, young people will become acquainted with the culture and language of the partner countries, overcome stereotypes and linguistic and cultural barriers. The activities planned in the project are intended to stimulate imagination and creative thinking as well as international integration. Games have a big impact on human development of mind, memory, concentration, reflexes, perception, imagination, and well affect integration and contacts with youth from foreign countries. By participating in the project participants will acquire new skills and competences that they will be able to use in the future.

This event will bring together 30 participants from Estonia, Poland, Romania, Italy and Lithuania. The event will be held in English. There are 5 vacancies available and participants should be 17-25 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 275 euros. There will be a participation fee of 40 Eur. per participant.
