Partnership-building Activity
11-16 May 2020 | Bulgaria
Every youth exchange has a huge potential towards learning opportunities for young people and promote active participation. Are you interested in focusing on quality aspects and deepening this out in your next youth exchange? This Contact Making Event will provide you with support for partner finding, the project idea development and project implementation. Besides this, several training elements focus on competence building of each participant within the non-formal educational setting created, with a particular attention towards working around themes, programme building and visibility in the local community.
CONTEXT
Over the past years, many youth exchange projects have been developed and run between organizations from different countries. An exciting and challenging intercultural encounter! In order to strengthen the partnerships and especially the quality of these projects, this partnership building activity aims to provide the needed support and training elements for the participants who intend to organise such a youth exchange in the near future. The first The REAL DEAL took place in Finland in September 2012. Due to the successful outcomes, this event has been repeated several times over the past years and this in a variety of countries and contexts (e.g. Belgium & Portugal).
“The REAL DEAL” will take place in Bulgaria.
The experiences over the past years of the learning community ‘ The Rural Centre of Non Formal Education’ (Vila da Marmeleira – Portugal) where international events are fully in betted in the local community and based upon full involvement of young people, are fully explored through the trainers’ team for PBA The REAL DEAL.
A clear focus on the following aspects:
Young people as (real) actors in the different steps of a youth exchange, supported and coached by youth workers.
The local community as the integral supporting structure of a youth exchange.
The impact and permanent mark on a local community as a result of a youth exchange.
Impact: on short, medium and long term.
