“Keep in Touch” Advanced Planning Visit Was Held in Bassano del Grappa, Italy between 03-05 July 2019

Group leaders from Italy, Netherlands, Turkey, Finland, Spain, and Bulgaria met to review the youth exchange program and discussed the details for keeping quality criteria.

The project focuses on the topic of human contact and its key role in the connection we have with others and how this improves the quality of relationships.

It aims to develop an awareness and better competence in relation to interaction and physical contact with others, keeping in mind possible cultural differences. Understanding how physical contact can positively influence someone’s mood and strengthen relations. At the same time, recognize that physical contact might not be always appropriate. Furthermore, the aim is to encourage participants to have an open and inclusive attitude towards other cultures and their everyday lives, according to the local context.

Youth Exchange activity will be held at the end of August in participation with 30 participants.
