The term "CleverYouth" includes all the competencies, which is necessary for an intelligent and clever young European. As part of the project we would like to point out the way of overcoming the difficulties resulting from different cultural, linguistic and ethnic backgrounds, and empower Youth how they can become confident European citizens with their existing skills, creating new opportunities in field of education and labor market by themselves. Within the framework of the Youth Exchange participants could learn the necessary key competences for intercultural dimension by solving various taksk, while they will be taking part in colorful programs together during the 8 days and gainging insight good examples. The goals of "CleverYouth" are based on four priorities. The objectives include the Lifelong Learning method and the implementation of intercultural dimension.

Several workshops, panel discussions and expert-led group sessions accompanied by self-reflection every day will complete the eight-day period, but we can find more casual form of cultural and gastronomic evenings between programs. The young participants would get acquainted with the ground-breaking energy modellregion project in Environmental Science Institute of Eszterházy Károly College and then they could visit local enterprises illustrating good examples. The Romanian, Ukrainian and Hungarian young people will participate equally in equality between the sexes and the countries involved in the project. accompanied by 2-2 person.

A few participants have already got a degree or being currently engaged in master's level studies. The project results in local, regional, national and international level effects, with positive effects on both direct and indirect participants. The Youth Exchange would be good practice for the implementation of a tripartite cross-border intercultural cooperation for short- and long-term too. Overcoming the cultural, linguistic and ethnic differencies - with the competences acquired- Youth could move towards European citizenship.
