We will learn about different opportunities that ”Youth in Action” offers to organizations and young people, we will learn to write objectives and to a design program of a youth exchange - a project which brings young people from two or more countries together, providing them with an opportunity to discuss various topics and letting them discover different social and cultural realities. Within the seminar participants will work in small groups to complete the project proposal for a youth exchange program and will be coached to fill in various sections of the grant application.
