their point of view. We expect you to be very participative and fully
involved in the activities.

travel costs

 

TASKS PREPARATION:

– The presentation of your organization: We recommend you to bring
some flyers, promotional materials, videos, photos, etc., about your
organization. You will make a presentation about the work they do and
about projects, activities, initiatives, etc., related to sustainability and
environment.

– The intercultural dinner: This event is a special moment of the project;
we will discover each country through some gastronomic specialities
(food and/or drinks and delights). You are free to do whatever you want.
You can cook a traditional meal such as a starter, a main meal, or a
dessert, or you can bring some traditional delights. If you decide to cook,
please let us know before, so we can manage to provide you the tools
you need. The meal that you will prepare has to be a simple one because
you will have around 2 hours to cook it. If you need to buy the
ingredients, please inform us in advance so we can manage the schedule
to have time to do the shopping.

Remember: this is at your expense.
We will be accommodated in a hostel and using the kitchen will be under
the authorization of the staff so the possibility of cooking or not will
depend on them.- Energizers: Participants will carry out an “energizer” during the Youth
Exchange before starting the workshops.
