The project will assist the young people to explore the options of developing volunteering ideas in their own country and using this as a basis to assist those children and adults who are still in the state systems back in their own country. The project will also explore different volunteering models and and expose the young people to different ways they can make a more positive contribution to their own local and global communities. The exchange will explore the concept of coaching and mentoring and will seek to equip the young people with coaching and mentoring skills that they could use when working within their defined volunteering project. These skills can then be used by the young person in their volunteering work to motivate and encourage their adult or child they are volunteering with to consider changing their situation which is holding them back .For those who have an interest in peer mentoring we would organise sessions which would explore the methodology of peer education and through informal learning deliver some ideas which the young people can develop whilst with the exchange.
