The project consists in sending 11 young volunteers from 3 organizations from Romania, of which all are young people with fewer opportunities, to volunteer for a month in organizations from South East China, in the city Guangzhou.11 volunteers from 3 different backgrounds: with fewer opportunities (rural areas, with economic difficulties, with HIV, from orphanages) mixed with other young people will work together with a similarly mixed group of young people from China (mental disabilities, economic difficulties) for one month to:1. promote volunteering and non-formal education as a tools for mutual understanding across cultures.2. stimulate personal development of the volunteers through intercultural experiences.3. develop solidarity and mutual understanding between young people. The volunteers will promote volunteering and non-formal education as a tools for mutual understanding across cultures by building a reference material with non-formal education methods that can be used in environments where language is a barrier in communication (social animation and other tools); These methods will come to life in 4 dissemination workshops organized and implemented by the volunteers where the tools and methods identified in the brochure will be put into practice together with the children from 4 different local communities.
