In mornings short funny games in order to wake up participants. The basic methodology of the project will include on communication based and “learn by doing” methods.Main activity blocks:First aid - knowing how to keep your self fit and how to treat injuries is an important part of outdoor education and sport . This knowledge will help the youth understand how they can protect themselves in out-door sport activities. Outdoor cooking, Fire making, Camp construction - the amount of time we spend just to set up camp, cook, clean, gather firewood, etc. illustrates the amount of effort these things take without the benefits of dishwashers, ovens, cleaning solution etc. It helps us appreciate how good and easy we have it now, but it also teaches us important survival techniques when we wont have access to such amenities. Olympic games - this working method will promote peace through sport, preserve human dignity and confront any form of discrimination, protect the environment and promote sustainable development, and supporting education and culture.Orientation, mapping and compass - Navigation and field mapping skills will help us know where we are, where we are going, how we are going to get there, how long it will take, and when we will get back. These skills will help us never be lost in forest/outdoor and some other strange places.Traditional/national outdoor games - discovering each other national, traditional games is the way how to share and present our culture and identity and keep cultural heritage. Hiking - Discover the Nature,Discover personal weaknesses and strengths during the hike walk. Team building - participants will be divided into nationally mixed working groups. It will promote intercultural dialogue, mutual understanding and experience exchange. Working side by side to reach common goals will give an opportunity to get to know other culture traditions, We believe the Youth Exchange will be for participants enriching experience that will wake up their curiosity, foster their creativity, build their confidence for implementing their ideas and future actions and foster their further self-development. We expect that participants later use the new knowledge and skills in their personal/professional lives and share them with other team-mates in their surroundings. The Youth Exchange should be also space for their intercultural learning and exchanges of different attitudes, working styles and experience as for most of the project participants, this will be their first experience in Caucasus region.
