A YOUTH EXCHANGE IN 3 PHASES
The Youth Exchange of Enjoy Eat! is made by 3 phases. Participating partially cannot be an option: if you want to take part in the exchange make sure that you can take an active part in all the phases of the project!
planning
The planning phase already happened:
From the 17th till the 20th of January 2020 one National Group Leader and one participant per country meet in Bergolo, Italy to take a creative role in the development of the exchange:
✔️They get to know each other and the local area
✔️They share their needs and the competencies that they already have upon the main topics
✔️They create a common pre-exchange preparation plan
✔️ They get support from the coordinators to facilitate part of the program of the exchange.
The youth exchange was planned to happen in March 2020... and guess what? 💣 We had to cancel that edition and reschedule the exchange.
In the Preparation phase we will check who from the original group confirmed and we will update and involve the new participants/leaders in the creation of the summer 2021 edition.
