Start date: Aug 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project "Change Your Life: Be Active" consist in performing a youth exchange of Portugal and Spain. The group will consist of a set of 16 young people aged between 18 and 30 years and of both sexes, and also by the participation of two leaders of each country. This exchange will last for 7 days and the main objectives are to raise awareness among young people about various issues related to rural areas, in particular the migration of young and diminute involvement / active participation of youth in rural areas and the lack of knowledge of the potential of the territories where they live and also local products. On the other hand, it also intends to provide a response to previously identified difficulties, encouraging young people to play an active role in their communities, as well as stimulating creativity, fostering attitudes and behaviors that promote the awareness and interest of the whole population in developing community, and revitalizing rural environment. The exchange took place in Amendoeira da Serra, a small village in the municipality of Mértola and the activities will be based on non-formal education, as for example the group games, language animation, thematic tours, Photography workshop, traditional skills workshops, visits to local producers, coaching sessions and entrepreneurial attitudes, information sessions about networking and partnerships, information sessions about "How to create your own job" and a presentation session of the project directed to the local population. The theme of cultural diversity will also be addressed, since this will also be a space where young people can share ideas, identify similarities and differences between cultures, as well as carry out activities related to the topic of European Citizenship.
