Young peoples main barrier to employment is either lack of skills,experience,or confidence The Alingsas youth Council created an international opportunity to develop skills in areas of event management and then put them to the test in a real working environment. Alingsas youth Council decided to make a summerfestival the 8th august and wanted a youth exchange before the festival where young people from Sweden Northern Norway and London had an opportunity to develop skills in all aspect of event management and develop peer leadership skills. The Swedish Young people was buddy a young person from Norway or UK develop peer support by the host group the groups got an overview of all the skills needed to put on an event and then divide into teams focusing on each specific part of the youth event. The activites ran over 6 days we had a non formal arrival activities, Ice Breakers name games getting to know you games. followed by intro to the week what expected of the participants then we get the group to write a contract of behavior. Then we look at the weekly plan. We ran communication game for the new participants and a non formal game around speaking in to groups workshop. then ran inter cultural activities through the week looking at stereotyping but using media to fit in with the theme. This project participants developed many valuable skills they may need in their future working lives. The other multiplying effect we hoped to achieve is that our participants will use the skills gained during our training programme to encourage peer leadership in their own countries through contact with schools, youth groups and organisations. We will encourage those taking part in our training to use and share our training methods with others to address issues surrounding cultural diversity and other key issues across Europe. .
