During 5 days, an international group of youth workers will focus on using intercultural learning methods to discover and understand the concepts of cultural diversity and to acquire the needed competences to implement those during their youth exchange process.

There will be given a special attention to the transferability of the used exercises, methods and debriefings towards their future projects.
By the end of the training course, participants have:
• experienced, analysed and reflected on intercultural learning methods and their transferability towards their future projects;
• had the chance to identify and reflect upon the most common made misunderstandings, mistakes and conflicts related to culture in youth exchanges;

• understood the significance and possible outcomes of non-formal learning approaches.
During the training, several methods are used which involve participants in an active way. Participants will be challenged, not only on their intercultural awareness, but also on their active participation and on their personal self-assessment and ability for groupswork. An open, tolerant and respectfull attitude will be requested from participants.
