The Power of Sharing
Start date: Dec 1, 2013,

YE- "Power of Sharing" is a part of 2 stage YiA project - "Sharing is Caring" - the project about collaborative consumption (CC) as a tool to face the actual crisis and improve our lifestyle as well. "Sharing" is a key concept these days; with the combination of network technologies and creative initiatives that activate new ways to use knowledge, goods and services with collective objectives. As with most popular examples we find couch surfing, car/bike-sharing, time banking or social networks where food can be exchanged or help can be found even in domestic tasks in your neighbourhood. These are few examples that are creating a base of a new sustainable economy based in human values, in a trust as a currency. CC especially in times of crisis, is the perfect tool that could be used also for youth work. “Sharing is Caring” will analyze the sharing movement and equip youth workers with new tools that will help them to use these platforms in concrete projects at local and international level.In frame of the project “Sharing is Caring” will be implemented 2 YiA projects:1.Training Course – "Collaborative consumption, the new tool for youth work"2.Youth Exchange – "The power of sharing"If the 1st stage of project - TC - is more concentrated on giving information to participants about different types and methods of shared economy, on the 2nd stage -YE- the most motivated and active participants of TC will be leaders of YE and will be concentrated more on practise and promotion of the idea of CC, as the participants of YE will already have experience in this field (after TC they'll have a task to experience different types CC in real life and bring their experience on YE).The YE will take place in a ski resort of Georgia - Bakuriani, 20-27th of February, 2014 and will bring together youngsters from 8 different EU and EECA countries.During the TC will be used the methodology based on NF and PtP education, valorising the knowledge and experiences of the youngsters.
