The Partner-Finding Tool
ALREADY APPROVED bilateral youth exchange for Swedish & spanish youngsters to celebrate in Gran Canaria during autumm break related with environmental protect.
This project is a Youth Exchange Bilateral financed by the "Erasmus +: Youth" program of the
European Commission. Exchange activities will be held in Gran Canaria among a group of
young people from Sweden and another group of young people in this island. The theme will be
the environment and the activities will be a series of workshops, meetings, discussions and
reflections on the role of youth in the preservation and proper use of protected natural
environments, particularly those on the periphery of large Municipalities: the so-called urban
environment. The overall objective is to acquire knowledge, skills and abilities in the
conservation of natural heritage and learn personal resources to provide a means higher quality urban environment for us and future generations. The methods will be very active and
participatory, detailing attached.
The contact with people from other cultures, ways of interpreting events and situations, as well
as the sharing of content between environmental youth come from different cultures and ways
of understanding societies and nature implies a level of intercultural learning rich and intense.
The values of the diverse culture found in the insular Europe and cosmopolitanism that
characterizes Canaries are the key to a project of these characteristics ensure a sensitive
approach to understanding and openness to new intercultural processes, understanding the
difference (this including geographical), either within the peoples of Europe or outside Europe
and promote values that ensure a society and some young people where racism, xenophobia or
intolerant attitudes do not fit.
This project will stimulate us to the young people participating in a positive perception of other
cultures, being participants at all times of the development of the proposed activities together
and seeing all our contributions and visions of the project itself are respected, as well as ratings
for the world and Europe of the islands and their customs. The project supports dialogue and
intercultural encounters with other young people who come from different backgrounds and
cultures, and we have agreed to carry out an exchange in Sweden.
The project helps to prevent and combat prejudice, racism and all attitudes leading to exclusion,
through workshops and other participatory activities proposed, in which we will discuss the
various environmental realities and the role of young people in Europe, among others.
For a sustainable world and Europe it is important that we all change our habits and learn to ask
for what we do and what are the things we do well in the area of our common European
environment. We understand that we must go further in terms of a relationship with a territory
that is not ours, but we accept as loans of future generations, that this Europe we enjoy is a loan
not a gift, which forces us to design so precise and careful proposed activities together with our
partner.
For the promotion of social and personal development of young people who participate in the
project, this project will enable spaces and ways of participation that will directly affect the
socialization of those who will participate in this event, this activity getting an unforgettable
experience for everyone.
In terms of participation must say that, obviously, the first assets involved are the direct
recipients, participants exchange groups. The implication was and is a maximum. We have
been working for some time to make this project a reality (with division into working groups). We
have had many meetings to discuss the program, activities etc. The working groups met
regularly to solve practical details and to achieve what we think is a good project.
