“Together, built the bridges for inclusion”
19– 27.11.2018
Poitiers, France
Summary:
Through this project, we will explore the concepts of social inclusion / exclusion and support for young people with fewer opportunities. This could increase the capacity of our organizations to develop future quality inclusion projects.
We will create a meeting area for organizations to exchange information on future projects, sharing best practices and tools on initiatives and inclusion projects, thus enabling effective networking and building new partnerships between organizations;
The main objective of „Together, build bridges for inclusion …“ is to encourage and promote social inclusion projects within your respective structures, neighbourhoods and countries. The training will create a working environment for organizations active in the field of youth to develop sustainable networks and partnerships for the development of future projects under the theme of inclusion. We want to work on this project to understand and release tools that allow us to better understand the phenomena of inclusion / exclusion in our societies.
The project will take place in Poitiers from 19th to 27th November 2018.
Main goal of the training course
With the implementation of this training activity, we expect to achieve the following results:
– Increase the number and quality of projects focused on inclusion and diversity
– Create and develop support tools for young people with fewer opportunities excluded from the system on different themes (artistic, cultural, technological innovation project, etc.)
– Develop new partnerships and cooperation projects between the participating organizations;
– Increase participants’ skills to better understand the basic principles of developing quality inclusion projects involving specific target groups.
Participant`s profile required:

Working methods:
All the training will be done through the methods of non-formal education. The activities will be for example brain storming’s, plenary discussions, simulations, role plays, team building, energizers, ice breakers and many others. Non formal education we remember you that is voluntary, no hierarchical and all its methods are based on the concept of learning by doing.
What to bring with me:
- we will have an intercultural evening, so bring your national food and drink.
- bring your national flag, magazines, postcards what will help you to introduce your country.
- if you bring your laptop will be easier for working, but is not mandatory.
- and your good mood. This is the most important ☺
Intercultural night:
What we expect from you to present in these nights are: local or national dances, local music, games, little sweets, drinks, pictures, etc. from your countries.
Every country will prepare a short presentation of their culture, using all kinds of methods. It’s preferred a short and FUNNY presentation, such as showing pictures and commenting it, quiz, short video (either already existing or made by you), etc. (YES – use your creativity!). For the intercultural night, we ask you to prepare in advance a brief performance (singing, your traditional music, popular dances) to present your group (typical costumes are really welcomed!).
The main idea of this presentation is: What is important for a stranger to know about my country?
Any kind of presentation is granted, better not to do a power-point presentation to avoid yawning.
The Intercultural night is the “most wanted event” on the beginning of the youth exchange. It is a sort of traditional night opened to all participant audience made up of our group leaders, youth workers, facilitators, participants to the exchange. All National groups are asked to perform briefly (10 for your NGO and country/city not more, and 10 min for traditional dances and music) in order to introduce their self. Certainly, we need your enthusiasm and energy!!
For the Intercultural evening a Swedish buffet (cold buffet) will be organized. Here every country will bring traditional food dishes. The food that will be brought must be eatable without any processing (boiling, frying, etc). The dishes must also be accompanied by a brief description (their origin and ingredients, the way they are eaten…)
