There will be 20 participants of Belgium nationality: 14 boys and 6 girls. These participants will come from the same group, so they will already know each other. There will be 20 participants of Romanian nationality: 14 girls and 6 boys. These participants will not all come from the same group: they are chosen by the Nocrich Scouts Center. DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIESActivities that are included will mainly be of cultural and social background, or made to develop their skills as future leaders of scouting groups. They will need to coöporate, take initiative and ultimately prepare a day of activities for children themselves. METHODOLOGYThe activities and evaluations will be done through non-formal education in an informal setting. They are encouraged to find their own ways to do things, take initiative and work together. This will allow them to feel comfortable during the stay and help them find their own way of learning to be leaders.
