International Youth Exchange<\/strong>
\n\u201cBreak Your Boundaries!\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The idea of this project is to build a new way of thinking about the employability of young people as a tool to develop participants’ skills but also a way of developing the sustainability projects of the NGO itself.
\n\u201cOnce you have realized that you can achieve anything you want in life, you meet a new, bigger, and more compelling problem \u2013 namely, choosing what it is you want to achieve.\u201d Marjorie Mensink.
\nWhat actually missing to youth (according to the views of career consultants and employers)?
\n-communication skills, teamwork, flexibility required by the employer
\n-realistic expectations based on their skills required in intercultural environments
\n-self-knowledge and a tool for planning the future<\/p>\n

Effects<\/strong>:
\n1. employers’ dissatisfaction due to young people’s attitude towards work
\n2. job losses and unemployment
\n3. reference letters with negative mentions
\n4. accepting low-paid jobs
\nThese are the reasons why we initiated this project whose overall objective is to support career guidance, lowering youth unemployment.<\/p>\n

The specific objectives are:<\/strong>
\nO1. To increase the level of skills and key skills of young people in communication, teamwork and flexibility
\nO2. To develop personal attributes in the field of intercultural communication allowing to interact effectively and harmoniously with others
\nO3. To improve young people’s level of self-knowledge, their values and their own powers, without discrimination and in respect for equality between genders<\/p>\n

So that, young people know how the things they learn in youth work can be useful for their jobs.
\nBasically we want youth to be inspired and to discover new approaches and concrete new methods for self development.
\nThe project will be based most on non-formal learning methods and will be highly participatory.
\nIn the same time we want to develop a plan how you will transfer your new skills in your daily work for the next months.
\nAs a result at the end of this experience, the participants will make a brochure and small movie: \u201cMy Calling\u201d based on their own new strong points, the new reality and how they can benefit from this.<\/p>\n

Preparation activities:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

All teams are required to come to Brasov with a preliminary work (according to the ERASMUS+ criteria). The content and “style” of the presentation (10-15 minutes) are left to the discretion of each national team.
\nWe will ask to each national group to collect and present information and statistics about:<\/p>\n
