"The project ""You 4 Youth 2"" has been carried out from October 2018 to October 2019 at the Youth Council (Consejoven) - a non-profit organization, whose main objective is to promote youth participation and associationism. Since 1992, we have been working in the field of youth at the local level, precisely through the associations registered in our entity and the activities they carry out (more than 60 associations). In our project have participated as volunteers two young people from different European countries, (France and Latvia) with the main objectives of improving the functioning of youth participation in our province, collaborating with entities working with groups at risk of social exclusion, fostering and promoting knowledge of Erasmus+ projects, supporting youth entities in our province in their development, increasing the skills and knowledge of volunteers and promoting greater solidarity and collaboration between various groups of people. Through this project, young volunteers have been able to increase their personal and professional development through their active involvement in the projects of: communication and volunteering; participation and work with disadvantaged groups. Volunteers have been integrated into various activities that we have carried out in our youth center and in various places in the city or in the province. The main activities have been the organization of all kinds of workshops and activities for young people and other groups at risk of exclusion, workshops and informative talks on Erasmus+, youth association, the organization of events and meetings for young people and youth entities, the creation of strategies to reach young people through social networks and other tools, the analysis of the association fabric of the province ...they have also had the opportunity to organize language meetings and participate in the activities of local associations, as well as to implement their own ideas related to the youth field during the project. The methodology used has been based on learning-doing, through activities and dynamics of non-formal education and the involvement of volunteers in decision-making and in the elaboration of all activities. With the project, young volunteers have known first-hand the form of youth participation that exists in our community and that it is good that they can transfer it to future projects that they carry out in their communities of origin.We always learn a lot from these types of projects, both us as an entity and the associations with which we collaborate, because by having different ways of working, we make an exchange of good practices beneficial to achieve a greater participation of young Europeans and to create strong networks of work between the different European organisations that work for participation. Another result of this project has been the contribution that volunteers have brought to disseminate and give visibility to European projects, through all the activities they have carried out to make them known, both with young people and with collectives disadvantaged in our community."
