Falling in Lost is an exchange that has been prepared by youngsters from Youropia Cultural Association. 29 people from 18 to 24 years old (some of them with fewer opportunities) and from three different countries: Spain, Poland and Czech Republic. The project was held in Priorio, Asturias, in August 2014, and lasted 8 days. The main objective was to foster group creation and team building. Other goals were breaking intercultural barriers sharing and promoting traditions; to boost healthy habits living together in a natural place and taking advantage of natural resources; to promote peer to peer learning through non formal education and promote the use of a foreign language. All activities were done in the frame of Non Formal Education, with active, dynamic, participative, cooperative and horizontal methodologies, respecting individuality and the concrete needs from every participant.
