Partnership-building Activity
25-30 October 2016 | Janeiro de Cima, Portugal
CONTEXT
Over the past years, many youth exchange projects have been developed and run between organisations 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. Besides creating the opportunity for participants to create strong partnerships, we also wish to offer a real intercultural experience, as an inspirational example for future youth exchange implementations.
This “MAKE THE MOVE III” will therefore take place in a rural village in the very centre of Portugal, ‘Janeiro de Cima’, which has around 200 habitants. From this year on, this village has started receiving international groups based upon the community model of ‘The Rural Centre of Non Formal Education’ in Vila da Marmeleira. The projects implemented in this community, offer a win-win situation for all involved – local development and change for local people through their involvement in the activities and a deep intercultural experience for the participants. Besides the pedagogical outcomes of the international activities (e.g. training course, seminar, workcamp), the different projects leave their mark on the community. A local impact and international footprint are left behind.

Deadline is 15 September 2016.
