PREPARATION BEFORE THE YOUTH EXCHANGE

Task-related preparation
The partner organizations
- to prepare and inform the participants before the project
- informative meetings before the project to provide information for their
participants

The participants
- Two weeks before the youth exchange, the participants will be invited to think of
examples from their everyday life in which they apply the principles of ecology
and sustainable development and of examples of situations in which they do not.
- Another task will be to think of the most polluted areas in their countries (big,
industrialized cities, industrial parks etc.) They will have to try to show these
examples through photos, videos or by writing down a short presentation. They
will present these examples in one of the first days of the youth exchange.

Intercultural preparation
For the intercultural nights, the participants will be invited to bring traditional food
