Youth Culture and Social Life

Description

In this project we wanted to learn about each others social life by doing the popular activities in our respective countries, the basics of each others' languages by playing different language games, and laws in each others countries by playing games, for example the yes, no, maybe game and various other group games. We learned about each others culture by doing traditional things, such as cooking traditional meals, visiting local cultural sites and participating in activities that impact the daily lives of the participants in each host country. We learned about each others hobbies and what we do for fun by doing the things that our youth does for fun. We implemented non formal learning methods such as ice-breakers, discussion groups and storytelling. By using English as our working language and by following the rules we made about using English instead of falling into our respective languages, we were better in English after the completion of the project than before its implementation. We pushed ourselves to get out of our comfort zone by doing the activities and playing the games that we planned, and are better at communicating and making friends now than we were before. Speaking in front of people is also easier and by exploring stereotypes and our own prejudices we are more awake to seeing people as individuals rather than a group which helps us to kill the stereotype. While we did not find too many ways to improve what our municipalities are offering youth we were all impacted in ways that we hadn't anticipated before participating in the project. Most of the participants note that their self-esteem has increased while doing the project and that their heightened sense of belonging in a group has been a surprise. From Iceland there were 14 participants and 2 youth workers in YE1, and 13 participants and 2 youth workers in YE2, from Finland there were 12 participants and 2 youth workers in YE1 and 11 participants and 2 youth workers in YE2 due to illness of a participant. All the activities and the program were planned by the youngsters and the discussions were also led by the participants themselves with assistance from the youth workers.The participants were all born 2003-2005. The Icelandic team were in charge of all activities during the youth exchange in Iceland and Finland of the youth exchange activities in Finland. There were two youth exchanges and two (2 working days + 2 traveling days) APVs between the groups (from Iceland and from Finland) the duration of the exchange will be 10 days and 2 traveling days.
