The program includes elements of different nature and different methodologies.The key assumption is based on an authentic learning approach (a process involving the dynamic interactions between the learner, the task and the environment) and learning by experience.The project will bring individual benefits to the participants of the visit (increased knowledge / competence, development of skills) who will use the experience gained in working for the NGO sector and local community, but it will also affect other local partner organizations.The planned effect of the visit will be joint preparation of the assumptions for the next project.
Summary of project results
During the study visit, both organizations met. During the first day, we presented the way non-governmental organizations operate in both countries. We got to know our strengths and weaknesses as well as social problems occurring in various environments and countries in Europe. On the second day, we discussed the topic of educating young people in the field of democracy, peace, human rights and gender. We had stormy discussions about the problems of young people, we were looking for possible solutions. On the third day, using the brainstorming method, we proposed projects that would have an impact on strengthening pro-social attitudes in young people, we planned their joint implementation in the future, we also talked about how to promote such projects among young people in both countries in Europe and we developed a set of good practices in the context of work with the youth.
Summary of bilateral results
