Amsterdam, Dec – The Advanced Planning Visit (APV) for the ‘Displaced’ Youth Exchange is about to start! Our partnering organizations, Orfeas Youth Organisation from Greece, Asociación Juvenil Intercambia from Spain and Support 4 Youth Development from Romania, will each send one youth and one youth leader to the meeting. The aim of the APV is for us to work on the last preparations for the project, which will take place on 7-17 Jan 2014. We will discuss the curriculum, program, expectations and challenges, task division and we will exchange good practices regarding the involvement and active participation of youth in the project.

The youth exchange aims at providing young first or second-generation young migrant women living in the Netherlands, Romania, Greece and Spain with video and photography tools to allow them to create and tell their own stories, as well as control their own images of representation.

We want to provide a safe and creative space for young migrant women to celebrate their identity and belonging and share them with the world using multimedia.

The youth exchange will consist in photography and video training, energizers, creative games, team building and community building exercises, trips around Amsterdam and a lot of fun

This project is mainly funded by the European Commission’s Youth in Action programme.
