Adventure of a lifetime

This project is a direct result of a great phenomenon, the Syrian Civil War, that has raised to a new class of homeless and stateless people, living in a condition of constant insecurity. People who the last years sought asylum in different parts of the world, including the EU, that is now facing a great crisis, not only related to grave political and financial problems, but also strongly connected with a great number of changes and challenges inside the society.As a result, in many countries reactions of fear, exclusion and xenophobic opinions within their society are becoming common especially among young people. Extreme political movements supporting oppression and violence against vulnerable groups based on their supposed inferiority, are getting more and more popular. Young people have to face a great number of changes within their society along with financial challenges (for the majority of the participating countries).

The “Adventure of a lifetime” youth exchange (Erasmus+ KA1) targets 25 young people (18 – 26 years old) and 5 team leaders (aged 18+) of the 5 European countries which are mainly facing now the Refugee Crisis: Greece, Turkey, Germany, Italy and North Macedonia (6 participants from each involved country). It is a ten-day YE (including travel days) hosted in Larissa, Greece at 13-22 of December 2018.
