Non-Formal methods used...

The project activities were aimed to engage young people through active participation, which is a priority in the "Erasmus+" framework. 

The activities planned during this youth exchange included, exclusively, non-formal methods; the aims were to facilitate the intercultural exchange, exchanging ideas, sustaining dialogue, to support the process of decision making and contribution with new ideas, encouraging freedom of expression and tolerance among participants. The involvement of young people in these activities help them to develop personal and social competences, and also competences for teamwork.

The non-formal methods proposed during the project activities had the objective to develop a participatory attitude, to support the process of refection, to promote tolerance, to support the integration of intercultural differences in the proces of creation and to support cooperation among young; organized tasks so that each participant had the opportunity to come into contact with a different culture. 

Enegizers: The aim of these activities is to facilitate the getting-to-know-each other, to energize them and also to facilitate the switch between the activities.

Usually these activities are group games that take up to 15 minutes.

Intercultural Nights: We were anxious from the beggining to get to know more about each participating country and its culture, so the cultural nights that every country organized offered us the best opportunity to feed our curiosity. During the whole week, the participants of each country prepared the program of these nights as they wished; this usually included a presentation of the country, a presentation of customs and traditions, traditional music and dances, traditional clothes, food and drinks. We enjoyed every difference and similitude that we discovered and we were all very enthusiastic to find out more during the whole period of the project.
