Project overview

Fahrten-Ferne-Abenteuer/ Abenteuerzentrum Berlin

taking place
from 2023-01-09 till 2024-10-11

Youth Exchanges, Training and Networking

and is focusing on:

Coach for Youth Initiative
Health
Innovation
Non-formal learning
Sustainable development

This project can include young people with fewer opportunities like

Social obstacles
Economic obstacles
Geographical obstacles

We organize, manage and accompany the entire project. We are looking for partner organisations that can accompany us throughout the entire project and enrich the project with as many different influences as possible from an education for sustainable development. If you are working on the proposed content or if you have other ideas on how to enrich the project, we look forward to hearing from you. We would also like support in the joint creation of a guide or working material for sustainable education. On our last two Youthworker exchanges manuals have already been created, which we would like to expand. There is also the consideration of creating a platform for exchange. We would like to see a cooperative program design in youthleader training and would also like to give young youth leaders the opportunity to apply what they have learned there in subsequent youth exchange programs and to expand their knowledge in this regard. In addition, we are looking for organizations that are willing to work with us as host partners for a youth exchange. Interested in partnering with us?
