    "The topics of employability, migration, integration and European values are central to current social discourse and the European countries are one, if not the central place for them. The project ""Europe's Boundless Working Worlds"" addressed precisely these points.By exploring the different cultural identities in South Eastern Europe, labour mobility within Europe, the study of migration and flight and the representation of a common cultural space, the participants dealt with the facets of these concepts and explored and reflected their ideas of identity and European values in a collaborative effort. The project was attended by 35 young people (aged between 15 and 20) from Bulgaria, Greece, Kosovo, Romania and Germany. The participants from Bulgaria, Greece, Kosovo and Romania were pupils, who were thinking about their future studies and profession. The participants from Germany were pupils and students with or without a migration background, and some of them with work experience. Through the encounter of these groups, an intercultural exchange arose and the connection to the working world with the terms ""Europe"" and ""borderless"" was investigated. In addition, the pupils, together with the students from Germany, began a journey in which they examined the terms ""working worlds"", ""employability"", ""migration"" and ""integration"". At the same time, the project aimed to bring Europe closer to the participants, promoted understanding, reduced stereotypes and promoted the integration of disadvantaged groups in society and in the working world. At the youth exchange in Germany, all participants visited in Erfurt the European information Center, the Service Office of Erfurt and the NGO ""Culture goes Europe"" and broadened their knowledge about skills acquisition and integration in the labour market and understood the working worlds from the employer's perspective. The discussion between the participants (pupils and students) was therefore very important and provided motivation and answers to questions based on experience. In the project, the participants experienced the diversity of cultures at first hand as well as the principles of solidarity and tolerance through the interactions between young people from different backgrounds. The project included a youth exchange in Germany and the on-going work during the pilot phase, where participants and group leaders exchanged ideas and got prepared for the youth exchange. At the Youth Exchange in Germany, the young people had the chance to network, reflect on their experiences and ideas, experienced intercultural training, deepened the learned aspects in role plays, participated in team-building activities, received information on European values and active EU citizenship, participated in discussions on the subject of employability and integration, and discovered the importance of their own initiative. It was important for the project's consortium to reach a large number of young people and to not exclude anyone based on their social, cultural or religious background. Language skills were not crucial for participation due to the focus on multilingualism and non-verbal communication. This approach was realized with theatrical and other forms of artistic expression, through detailed demonstration of the procedures and, in some cases, the provision of translation services.The methods of non-formal learning - such as brainstorming, workshops, team-building activities, encounters, research, excursions, exploration, group work - were used in the project. Through them the young people learned more about themselves, their future choices, their homeland, foreign cultures and Europe.The project results include presentations on the topic „Professions in my home country during the past, the present and the future"", short video productions on the topic ""My future in Europe / Where do I see myself in 10 years?"", the digital diary of the youth exchange ""Grenzenlos"" and the working-paper of ""The Voice of Youth - Europe and me"". All project results are available on the blog ""Grenzenlos"".In addition to the visible results of activities, which also benefit other young people in Europe, the project has a long-term impact on the participants' social, linguistic and digital skills. Because of their experience they will continuously reflect integration into a community, belonging, recognition and familiarity."
