The project “Happiness 2.0”, is an international youth exchange which will take place in the region of North-Groningen in the Netherlands. The project will be organized by all members and volunteers of the Go Foundation. The mission of Foundation Go is to stimulate youngsters from the Northern part of the Netherlands to grow and increase open-mindedness towards Europe through EVS and exchanges. The main purpose of project ''Happiness 2.0'' is:By building on the experiences from the exchange "Happiness", organised in October 2015, we will be giving young people opportunities to become aware of the inter-cultural differences towards the theme ''Happiness'' between the European countries. The goal is to investigate what happiness means for all participants and to learn from each other how to make yourself happy. This with incorporation of the differences originating from cultural backgrounds and creating awareness and acceptance towards these differences. This all to create more cultural awareness and motivating the youngsters to become an active participant in society that eventually should lead to a more integrated society across borders in Europe. To achieve this project purpose 5 central topics concerning ''Happiness'' will be addressed:1. Creativity 2. Relationships 3. Health 4. Education 5. Ambition, belief, hope and freedom. Other topics such as materialisme will also be addressed in the activities. All these topics can be traced back in the activities that will be organized for the youth exchange.
