Last weekend, as part of the Climate Volunteers initiative, led by ANS Education & Project Consultancy, we organised an online information and dissemination event with the participation of 17 young people.
In the first part of the event, we introduced participants to the Erasmus+ Youth Programme and the opportunities it offers to young people.
We then welcomed Ayşe Pelin Öztürk, group leader of the Let’s be LEGENDary Youth Exchange @legendaryerasmus, which eight of our young participants joined last month. She introduced the European Solidarity Corps and shared information about international volunteering opportunities available through the programme.
High school and university students who joined the event also shared their own Erasmus+ traineeship experiences and answered questions from young people interested in gaining education and work experience abroad.
An important part of our meeting was dedicated to the dissemination of the Let’s be LEGENDary Youth Exchange, which took place in Kraków in July. Alongside the presentation by our group leader, project participants shared their experiences of the activities, intercultural learning process, art and photography workshops, urban legends, and working in international teams.
By exploring the values reflected in urban legends from different countries, the project encouraged young people to rediscover their own cultures while creating space for self-expression through art and photography.
We would like to thank the host organisation in Kraków, Platforma Integracji Młodzieży , our group leader, Ayşe Pelin Öztürk, for sharing her knowledge and experience, our project participants, and all the young people who joined our event.
