Even while young people are provided with many opportunities as exchanges and training courses, most youths live in the shadows of fear, making it challenging to find a job, study and make important decisions about the future.Thus, our project was focused on the following social fears: 1. Fear of public speaking.2. Fear of being alone3. Fear of failure.4. Fear of criticism5. Fear of responsibility and leadershipDuring the project, we wanted to deal with theoretical information about these fears and give helpful advice on how to work with and overcome these fears.Therefore, the objectives of the project were:1)To acquaint participants with the above-mentioned social fear and help them to overcome it, which will improve the level of social adaptation, self-realization and employment of young people.2)To promote the realization of Sustainable Development Goals, namely Good Health, Decent Work and Quality Education.3)Exchange cultural experience, networking for future cooperation, and promoting Erasmus+ programmes in the homeland and foreign countries.4)Our additional goal was to popularize Responsible Consumption as one of the Sustainable Development Goals. So, during the project, we were supposed to live and work according to the rules of an environmentally conscious lifestyle, refuse plastic packages and use paper responsibly.<< Implementation >>Our program was thematically divided into several blocks, each raising the topic of specific fear. The program was planned to reach our goals and make our participants' learning process as smooth as possible. We were trying to fit the format of each activity to its topic as much as possible. The essential elements of the project's activities included group and individual work, discussions, games, performances, workshops and forum theatre. We started our project with icebreakers and team-building activities, so during the first two days, all participants had a chance to get to know each other. It ensured that everybody felt comfortable during the project and was ready to work with touchy topics like fears. The second type of daily activity was energizers. Every morning before the main blocks, our participants did energizers together to feel more vigorous and active.To fully understand the project's theme, we provided diverse, informative activities: workshops and lectures. We explained to participants some basics about social fears, where they may come from and which tools are at our disposal to work with them. The next stage of our activities was working on our fears. We carried out an interactive game, drawing classes, breath therapy, forum theatre, music blocks, and performances to make the work on the fears practical and enjoyable. An essential part of each day was reflections in national teams, where participants had the opportunity to share their impressions, comments and emotions with a smaller group of people. Also, all participants got journals to use as diaries where they could write down their memories, observations and reflections. Finally, during the project, we had seven cultural evenings, which ensured that all participants could get to know different cultures and experience cross-cultural communication. Additionally, we carried out post-project activities to spread the knowledge and experience gained during the exchange. Ukrainian, Moldovian, Latvian, and Polish teams represented some blocks of the project in local schools, universities and other communities. Target groups for such activities included active youth, members of youth initiatives, members of local NGOs, and students.Turning to the number and profile of the participants involved, we worked with 35 participants from 7 countries. All leaders from national teams selected participants during the application call, using a guide about selecting participants, which the main organizers created. The recommended age of participants was 16-22 years old since the project topic was the most appropriate and valuable for people of this age. As a part of the application, candidates had to record a short video where they presented themselves. They explained why they must participate in the Youth Exchange (for example, elaborate on which social fears he/she has). The selection process aimed to support gender balance and diversity, but at the same time, consider the quality of the application and participants' motivation to be a part of the program. Eventually, 7 national teams with 4 participants and 1 team lead took part in the project. Participants did not need exceptional capabilities and knowledge to participate in our project. They were expected to be interested in finding themselves, improving their skills, being ready to interact with different people, and being polite and tolerant. Participants were supposed to be ready to travel and engage in an intercultural experience.<< Results >>1. Individual results and impact on a personal level. Participants developed and improved a range of competencies, such as creative and critical thinking, and the ability to make decisions in critical situations and work in a team. They received theoretical and practical knowledge about social fears, their levels and types, scientific research in the field of fear, and some practical methods of overcoming or at least controlling fear. Each participant learned how to understand, analyze and interpret the wide range of their emotions. One of the essential skills our participants received was language because the whole project was conducted in English, which was not native to any team. After the project, young people involved in the project became motivated to develop themselves, which is evident in their feedback during and after the project. With the help of cultural evening, our project also developed tolerance and an understanding of the differences between the cultures. Participants learned to respect the opinions and views of people around them. Moreover, for some of our participants, this project became the first trip abroad, which also promotes travel and the desire to explore this world among young people.During the project, the young people also learned how to perform, demonstrate initiative, and be more open-minded to various themes. Additionally, now our participants know the patterns and tools of non-formal education, which they can use on a daily basis. The majority of the participants got Youth Pass, where they indicated which tasks and responsibilities they held during the project and which multilingual, digital, mathematical, personal, social, and other competencies they achieved. 2. Impact and results on the general level. The project promoted Erasmus +, Youth Pass and the European Union on the national levels. During the post-project activities, national teams presented Erasmus+ opportunities for the youth in different countries. At the same time, the participants also raised at the local level the issues discussed during the project: social fears and coping methods. Target groups for such activities included active youth, members of youth initiatives, members of local NGOs, and students. Because of engaging these groups of people in post-project activities, we spread the values of a multicultural society and encouraged intercultural dialogue on various levels. Some participants also expressed their desire to write new projects within Erasmus+.

Only peers can understand in what way you need to be taught so that this knowledge will stay with them for a long time and they will be able to introduce it in their practical life.By implementing our project we want that more and more youngsters will be educated in such important topics as social media. This direction is developing rapidly at the moment. It is also believed that nowadays a lot of teenagers are influenced by social media and we would like to destroy this stereotype. We would like that teenagers will be immersed in this topic and in the future will not allow influential sources of information to manage their thoughts and mindset.It is important for us that this project has an impact on teenagers’ education and development, that they will be able to make new communications and continue to establish new information transmission.<< Implementation >>During our project we are planning to arrange several meetings and workshops which will exist on a local level. We will meet with different experts and decision makers in the mass-media world in order to educate our teenagers about everything which is connected with this topic and social media. It will look not like at schools but including non-formal ways of education in order for teenagers to get more practical skills and what they will be able to use in the future.Except for local events we are planning to organise 3 off-site meetings in different cities of Estonia. At these meetings a specific group of teenagers will explore the topic of mass media deeper and study how to make their own content.At this moment we are planning to have 20 participants in a specific group and in each local event we are planning to have from 10 to 15 participants in each meeting. They will be open for every willing person.As well, we will organise some activities that are aimed at firstly defining and emphasising the current and most widespread problems the media has, then looking for solutions participants can suggest, which will also develop their critical thinking. Before the project ends, we will have a fantastic opportunity to go abroad in order to make our youngsters’ calls and voices heard, to launch a serious process and bring it to reality with the help of decision makers, who have authority and opportunities to do so. Profile of participants: Our participants are those people, who are truly interested in the topic, who want to learn something new and become proficient in this area, who are ready to work hard for achieving high results and expending energy and time in that.<< Results >>We are expecting that we will be able not only highly educate our participants, give them a lot of practical skills and awareness about main topic of our project, but also we will do our best in order to create a community of motivated and educated teenagers who will be able and want to continue making their own content, teach their peers and share their experience.This project must encourage teenagers to analyse obtained information, recheck all resources, not divide fake news with their friends and relatives and not distribute panic.

However, people rarely use them to help themselves in studies. By implementing this project we want to pay people attention on how learning process can be interesting. With young people, who are highly motivated, because they are at the age, when the is a lot of different facts they have to learn quickly and keep them in mind for a long time, we want to collect methods of studying, check them out ourselves and describe them in a blog, which would tell about what we tried out during the project week with comments of participants and rating. After the project we would like to organize events in our learning centers and schools and inspire teachers and other youngsters to improve the way they learn or teach how to learn. We hope that when people will see the result of using methods it will inspire them to learn more.<< Activities >>1st Day - presentation of Erasmus+ programme, youthpass, key competencies - to better understand ideas of the programme and concept of YE and benefit to European dimension.- Team building and Icebreakers - to create great team dynamics and form a well-functioning group for the following activities.- creating the project rules and discussing expectations - to manage to work together nicely2nd Day- discussion ""What makes learning difficult "" , analyzing ted talks devoted to procrastination, forum theater- we want to specify what are the main obstacles while studying and how to face them and deal with them-Workshop ""How to make a good presentation""- during the following days participants will have to present their homework (one method per country or more, if they will decide so). This workshop will help them to think about how to develop presentations of their ideas and self-representation in general3rd Day - Presentations of two methods that help you learn more and digest information and get new knowledge from 2 countries - a part of the homework for participants to understand which methods exist and to think about real benefits from those methods+ developing participants presentation skill and increasing youth involvement into learning process- Making practical exercises to try out this new methods5th Day- Travelling day. We want participants to try to learn outside. In different conditions they would have to adapt learning tips that were presented - to better understand our own learning process and to get what works on us, to contribute to developing of Learning to learn competence -Having an excursion and asking participants to try out methods they've learned6th Day- Creating a blog (writing posts) with methods - to evaluate, what was learned on the youth exchange and reflect on things discussed throughout the weekFilling the Youthpass General reflection to better understand, how helpful was the program, discuss future plants about spreading the results, figure out what can be made better if there are some remarksEvery evening we will have a reflection in national teams, so youngsters could feel themselves more free to share their opinion and think how can they implement into following days activities (e.g. offering an energizer) Participant profile:The majority of activities will be held by participants: team building activities and the making of energizers will be divided for every country to host at least one activity, as well as, every country will prepare during the preparatory meetings and later on the YE present ""2 methods that help people learn"", that is why we are looking for participants who are highly motivated to learn as much as implement into the project. For that we have decided that our target group are young people, who are whether graduating from school or having their 1-2 year at the university. Participants doesn't necessarily need to have a previous experience of participating in projects, the main thing we value is a will of youngsters to implement into our society and develop themselves.<< Impact >>We hope that this project will help to increase awareness of alternative ways of learning and help people not only in our project but everyone who's just one click away. Knowledge, how to learn is one of the most important in the educational system and by sharing it we're hoping to increase the involvement of young people into the learning process and we hope to inspire schools to teach differently, using modern ways of learning. We want to put our skills into work and through brain-storming and sharing experiences collect as many interesting methods as we can."
