"INFO- See it for yourself“ is a youth exchange project aiming to explore the role of youth information in the lives of European youth. The youth exchange will take place on 12-18 January, 2015 in Estonia, near Tallinn in naturally beautiful place. The participants are youngsters aged between 18-26 who come from five different countries: Spain, Estonia, Wales, Italy and Lithuania, four youngster from each country and also one youth worker as a group leader. The youth exchange is for young people who live in the countryside or in a rural environment because it is common problem that youth information services are not so available in these areas. The main aims of the project are 1) increasing young people’s knowledge about youth information field in general, therefore creating more alternative choices, developing independent thinking and supporting youth’s competiveness while entering the labor market 2) marking the informational needs of young people and encouraging them to speak along in young information questions and 3) promoting youth information services; as youth are often not aware about opportunities created to them, because they do not know or do not take the effort to search for these, our project gives participants a positive experience and raises their knowledge about info services available for youth. We also find it important to enlarge the cooperation between different countries in order to make youth information field more notable and attractive and to encourage young people to speak along in questions important for them. And to improve different key competences of the participants, increasing their competiveness while entering the labor market through different activities. The length of the project is 7 days. On the first day, participants arrive, settle in and have a change to get to know the environment. In order to getting to know each other there are name and ice-braking games in the evening. During the seventh day the participants have a change to give feedback and return to their countries. During five substantive days different active, creative and activities which need thinking and cooperation are brought into use. Those activities help the participants to understand youth information and their own role in it. The activities aren thought through in the meaning of entering the labor market and support the development of independent thinking, different capabilities (like creating your CV) and responsability. Every night we will have a discussion about that day’s activities. This way all participant will have an opportunity to give their opinion, but also it is supporting the cooperation between different countries while sharing the experiences and ideas. During the project different non-formal activities are used: Team-building activities, group- and teamwork, excursion: getting to know surroundings and youth organizations, forum theatre, open air orienteering game, video-forum (we choose a movie connected to one education topic, watch it together and then have an interactive discussion about it) etc. In addition, every participant country will have to carry out one workshop This method is used to increase the inclusion of all the participants and supporting their responsibility and encourage them to interpret topics according to their sense of importance. Workshop has to be connected to at least one of three main problems the project is focused on: high unemployment of the youth, too big amount of information and youth’s passiveness while finding and distinguishing it and youth leaving the rural areas. Our intention is to increase the popularity and knowledge about youth information field in general but also to bring forth main topics of youth information and discuss the weaknesses and strengths of the field in different places. We find it important to enlarge the cooperation between different countries in order to make youth information field more notable and attractive and to encourage young people to speak along in questions important for them. In today’s world where the unemployment of young people is a common problem, especially in rural areas, youth information is not only a key between youth and the labor market but also an opportunity to explore ways for personal development and increasing the competitiveness.
