The eight-day youth exchange „A social Europe for all – Fighting youth unemployment and social exclusion“shall impart abilities, methods and expertise to youth so that they can easily start into the labour market after finishing their apprenticeship or academic studies. Objective of the youth ecounter is on the one hand to fight youth unemployment through helping young people to integrate into the job market and on the other hand to develop strategic solutions and possible courses of action to counteract current social marginalisation of young unemployed. 60 Youth from seven different countries of Europe and the Middle East will take part in the youth exchange .To experience a variety of perspectives and social challenges in the work against youth unemployment and the resulting social exclusion the participants of the project will come from different geographical parts of Europe and the Mediterranean region. The participants of the youth exchange are all active members of partner organisations. The young participants of the exchange will operate as peer-educators as they are presenting their work to each other and are working on the transferability of their respective best practice. Therefore they themselves become active to prevent youth unemployment and the resulting social exclusion. This empowering structure of the project is contributing to the sustainable success of the project. After the youth exchange the participants will transfer the learned skills and methods to their work in their home organisations.
