What is a youth exchange?

Youth exchanges allow groups of young people from different countries to meet, live together and work on shared projects for short periods. On a youth exchange, you can expect to participate in activities such as workshops, exercises, debates, role-plays, outdoor activities and more.

This youth exchange will take place in Celje, Slovenia, between 6th and 14th of February 2017. and will gather a group of 30 young people (5 from each country).

What will we do?

During the youth exchange, we will talk about how we treat people of different age groups in todays society, think about how these age defined roles affect our lives on daily basis and try to measure just how much we are (un)aware of these roles.

We will try to think about Ageism is modern society (Ageism is discrimination or unfair treatment based on a person’s age), how it can impact someone’s confidence, job prospects, financial situation, quality of life…

You will have the opportunity to learn about social media campaigns, and we will try to use this tool to start talking about age issues online.

We will (as an international team) launch a social media campaign on this topic, create posts and contents, and keep the campaign going for the next few months.

I was a part of international team that implemented a European level social media campaign, how cool would that sound in your CV? :)

Profile of the participants:

Young people (18-30) from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Poland, Slovenia, FYROM and Greece, actively using social media and interested to learn more about social media campaigns and try implementing them. You will have special tasks on your campaigns in few months after the youth exchange, so if you are not willing to have this kind of responsibility, please don’t apply.
