Young people form Vidra and Balassagyarmat do not have access to hands-on experiences with inter-cultural settings. Moreover, both places being highly mono-cultural environments, the young people present little tolerance and inter social competences in relating with people from different cultures from their own. Because of the relative isolation of the two areas, the access to information on Erasmus+ and other transnational programmes is scarce. Cumulated is also the low level of competences in foreign languages, most young people from this areas being able to communicate only in their mother tongue.Our project consists of a bilateral youth exchange that will reunite 48 youths aged 18-21 from Hungary and Romania coordinated by 6 group leaders and 2 facilitators. The YE will take place between 6-17 October 2016 in Navodari, Romania.Each partner will select 24 young participants aged 18-21 that face fewer opportunities (economic, geographical and social obstacles) from rural and small urban areas. Our project is addressed to any person who meets the basic eligibility criteria set out in the Erasmus+ Program Guide and the selection process is based on non-discrimination principles. The project objectives are reached by embarking the young participants in a programme that follows nonformal learning methods, and a structure that promotes continuity and gradual development of the participant in an organic way, starting with an introduction to the context, getting to know each other activities and group building activities, continuing to the main bloc of activities on the topic of intercultural understanding and finalizing with the closure of activity which consists in the drafting of the DEOR plan, dissemination package, and certification and final evaluation of participants. Objectives:O1. Developing practical knowledge, competences and abilities of 48 youths aged 18-21 on what is intercultural understanding and the role of tolerance and judgment free relations in intercultural dialogue until the end of the project.This objective is reached by all the activities that will take place starting from Day 2 to Day 10.O2. Increasing the capacity of communication in English and adaptability to intercultural environments of the 48 young participants from Romania and Hungary until the end of the project. The whole time spend together by the participants will contribute to the reaching of this objective. This objective is reached by nonformal as well as informal contexts of learning. (Days 1 to 12)O3. Raise awareness about the intercultural character of the contemporary world and temper down the excesses of “cultural and national superiority” among the 48 participants until the end of the project. This objective is a highly specific one and we do not have especially designed sessions that will be focused on it. However, we consider that the extensive structured reflection sessions supplemented by the structured dialogue with the reflection buddies (each reflection pair will be formed by one participant from Hungary and one participant from Romania) will contribute to raise awareness about the diversity of the contemporary world and will temper the excesses of cultural and national superiority.All the working methods are nonformal ones. The youth exchange is divided is several phases that succeed in a logical and chronological order.The participants will develop through our project trans-disciplinary competences, aptitudes and attitudes. The participants will take an active part in discovering intercultural understanding. For all of them this would be the first encounter with the nonformal learning methods. The participants will develop the capacity to identify intercultural problems and to find solutions in a structured, coherent way.This YE supplements the need of the participants to get hands on experience on what an intercultural environment is, why they should have an open mind towards different cultures and why should they temper their cultural and nationalist excess. Through our sessions the young people develop their public speaking capacity; learn how to interact in a nonformal context with other participants from a different country; and find out how they can benefit in the future from the fruits of an intercultural globalized world.This youth exchange fosters the participants’ active citizenship by involving them in the interaction with the locals and in empowering them to make presentations on a structured topic (intercultural dialogue). At the end of our project the participants will be more aware of the important role they have as active citizens and the importance to involve in the future in the European society. The Youthpass certificate corroborated with the Europass CV will reflect their learning process.
