The project idea
The great part of the youth field is the work with teenagers. It is fascinating, inspiring, gratifying but never the less challenging.

Nowadays European teenagers has a lot of opportunities around some of them may feel disadvantaged not having access to the information about those opportunities, others are lost in vast of those opportunities not knowing what to choose.

As youth workers we noticed the need to prepare youth workers to run intercultural learning process for teenagers. To address teenage needs during the exchange, youth workers have to be very well prepared, aware of teenagers’ interests, language abilities, expectations, fears, skills, current challenges.
