"The implementation of the Youth Exchange ""Change4Europe"",on the theme about Democracy and the Future of Europe, will contribute to prevent, minimize, combat and reverse of any situation of social exclusion and discrimination (racial, religious, gender and social / economic origin) in a critical and constructive way, in this tematics which are problematic issues transverse to all societies / communities at a international level. To achieve that, we will provide to all the participants, and particularly those most vulnerable to the above situations, with skills, knowledge and tools that enable them to reflect and become aware of change and th importance of active citizenship, to raise awareness of intercultural and interreligious dialogue, to know and to learn about other cultures and foreign languages and to implement actions that are in line with the objectives defined in the ERASMUS+ Programme and, particulary, in this project.This exchange will involve 6 young people and a leader from each participating country (Portugal, Belgium, France and Italy) and will be held from 31rd of march to 08th of april of 2018, in Lourinhã, Portugal. The project allows the participation of all the youngs between 14 and 19 years old, and there is no requirement, but it is a pre-condition for understanding basic English. The young people involved in the project will come from different cultures and different socio-economic contexts and the group will be constituted with 28 participants, 12 with less opportunities, especially with economic, social (minority, migrant, refugee) and / or professional obstacles.Through the experience of the exchange and the activities developed, namely: practical and thematic workshops, energizers, awareness raising actions, intercultural evenings, presentations, debates, games and pedagogic games, among others, participants will increase their network of contacts and develop their personal, social and professional skills.The methodologies applied in the project activities will be non-formal, using pedagogical methods: expositive, active, demonstrative and interrogative. The evaluation of the exchange we will apply quantative and quality methods.It is intended that there is an impact of the exchange at local, regional, national, European and / or international level, as the main goals to be achieved are transversal to the problems and priorities felt by the community and society in general and the results of the project will be visible through dissemination activities by young people and parters organisations. In the same way, this project allows the creation of synergies and reinforcement in cooperation between organizations for the fields of education, training and youth, being fundamental to increase and improve their capacity of action, in an innovative, attractive and appropriate way to the expectations and the needs of young people and the community.The impact and the dissemination of the exchange will be ensured through the knowledge of ERASMUS + Programme and its opportunities, as well as the various initiatives that young people will develop during the exchange and upon their return to their origin countries. For exemple, the organization of debates and exhibitions about the theme and the ERASMUS+ Programme; the distribution/divulgation of flyers/newspaper; the visualization of the promotional video of the exchange; the promotion of this kind of project and programme throught the local media (radio, newspaper) and through the testimonies and sharing of the participants with their network of contacts/community, and others.At the end of the exchange, young people will fulfill the Youthpass certificate, as a way of certifying all the skills acquired during the project, and it can be used as an instrument for their future (re)insertion in the job market. The expected long-term benefits of this project are achieved, at one hand, by promoting, with the local communities of each organization, good practices on democracy, intercultural and interreligious dialogue, tolerance, solidarity and awareness-raising for social contrasts and, at the other hand, the incentive to continue this actions about this and other issues considered as priorities in Europe."
