Titanic Affairs?- Training course on ambiguity and cultural challenges within local and international youth work activities in EU, Western Balkan and EECA countries was held at 15 - 23 May 2015, in Gyula, Hungary. Its? aim was to analyse why some projects work and others don't. What could have been done differently? Learning from mistakes is possible when we first notice the mistake and admit that we made it. During this training course we analysed how to carry out a successful project among EU, Western Balkan and EECA countries. The world gets increasingly interconnected through globalization and individuals or different cultural backgrounds interact with each other in all spheres of life more intensively than before. This integration is increasingly exposing people to different values and ways of thinking and that's why cultural impacts cannot be avoided. The aim was to learn how to pay attention to cultural differences. The methodology of the TC was built on the holistic approach of non- formal education. Experienced trainers? team assessed the needs and expectations of participants and based on that to invent new, creative and participatory methods. The methodological order of the programme was: starting from the individual to arrive to the local and international levels. The phases were: - individual assessment of cultural identity and reactions on ambiguity; - recognising cultural impact on individuals and cultural impact on local community; - exploring cultural challenges within youth work activities locally and international level among EU, Western Balkan and EECA countries; - collecting good practices to tackle cultural challenges locally and international level among EU, Western Balkan and EECA countries; - inventing new youth exchange projects among EU, Western Balkan and EECA countries in order to put theories on intercultural learning into international youth work practice according to the proposals of KA1 Mobility projects for young people and youth workers within Erasmus + programme.
