Youth exchange “Social Reflection” in Torre de Moncorvo, Portugal, 5.04-12.04.2017

In the beginning of April 36 people in total from Estonia, Lithuania, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece and Portugal got together in a small Portugese town near the Douro river named Torre de Moncorvo. In the town with around 9000 residents was a project called “Social Reflection”, which we all took part of. It was organised by Santa Casa da Misericordia de Torre de Moncorvo, a Portugese organisation and led by Leonor Dargent and Ricardo Rodrigues, both really great and amazing people.

The aim of the project was to analyze social development opportunities, problems, possible solutions and promote active citizenship in society, intercultural dialogue, social inclusion and solidarity. Additional objectives were to improve informal and non-formal competences & skills of participants and to enhance the international dimension of youth activities and the role of youth work.

During the 7 days of the project we had many workshops, presentations, evaluations, intercultural nights and different energizers. A lot of new and interesting ideas were generated, because the cultural backgounds of the people in this project were so diverse. As a result all of the stated objectives of this youth exchange were met and all of the 36 participants went home with new experiences, knowledge, got good language and team work practice and what is most important - we got great new friends and many amazing memories.

Training Course in Turkey

Every year millions of people die from wrong interventions. The reason is that most people do not have enough knowledge about what they should do in an emergency situation. Sometimes a piece of first aid knowledge can save a person's life. According to the report published by Turkish Health Ministry in 2011, the first 5 minutes is 5 times more important than the rest minutes for the wounded victim to survive him or her. With this project, we aimed to come together with young people from different parts of Europe to share the information about first aid techniques for emergencies and also learn different intervention techniques. The project was implemented in Aksaray city in Turkey. The activities of the project were between 17-25 July 2016. The activity was a training course and it lasted 7 days. 29 youth workers came from 6 countries (Turkey, Estonia, Bulgaria, Malta, Lithuania and Romania). The coordinator of the project is Behçet Hastaları ve Sağlıklı Yaşam Derneği. 29 Part

Augusti eelviimasest kolmapäevast kuni septembri esimese pühapäevani toimus Valgamaal Helme vallas Marja talus loomakaitse teemat käsitlev rahvusvaheline noortevahetus, mis tõi kokku 33 aktiivset noort kuuest erinevast riigist – Eestist, Itaaliast, Hispaaniast, Rumeeniast, Sloveeniast ja Leedust. ELi toel ja noortegrupi Valgamaa Seiklejad (osa noorteorganisatsioonist Seiklejate Vennaskond) korraldamisel läbi viidud projekti „Active Caring!“ („Aktiivne hoolimine!“) eesmärk oli läbi mitteformaalse õppe tõsta teadlikkust loomade õigustest ja heaolust, jagada kogemusi erinevate riikide vahel ning innustada noori aktiivselt loomade õigustega tegelema. Noortevahetus sai alguse Tartust, kust pärast linnaga tutvumist liiguti Tõrvasse. Ametliku programmi esimene päev viis seltskonna Tõrva tänavatele fotojahti pidama. Pildistati erinevaid loomi, räägiti kohalikega loomaõigusi puudutavatel teemadel. Vastukaja tänaval esitatud küsimustele oli loomakaitse seisukohalt väga positiivne. Helme vallavan
