Open call – project in Portugal in December!

The aim of Youth Exchange “A Gap in Europe” is to provide guidance to young people who are lost in this pressured period and don’t know where to start by showing them all the opportunities that Europe Union has for them and also capacitate them with tools in order for to understand how they can transform their interests into goals for the future and end it with a group of teenagers who are prepared to face their future decisions, from a psychological and practical perspective.

The objectives of this project are:
– To support the youngsters in the process of self-evaluation and on the reflection about their future – how they see themselves in the next 2, 5, 10 years from now;

– To learn and test different tools to help them to be ready for their first job (digital tools, curriculum, presentation and motivation letters, etc.);
– To empower them to support each other and their friends back home in these tense periods;
