Building Bridges, Connecting Cultures

We are seeking motivated partner organizations from Italy, Netherlands, Spain, and Ireland to join our upcoming Youth Exchange project in Hamburg, Germany.

Our project, "Building Bridges, Connecting Cultures," aims to tackle the social isolation and stereotypes faced by young people, particularly those with migration or refugee backgrounds. By using creative expression and non-formal learning, we want to empower youth to become "leaders of change" in their local communities.

-Location: Hamburg, Germany.

Participant Profile

We are looking for participants who meet the following criteria:

-Age: 18–30 years old.

-Background: Youth interested in social empowerment, with a priority on those from marginalized or migrant backgrounds (participants with fewer opportunities).

The 7-day program includes interactive sessions such as:
