And we can then start organizing a program of activities for the summer holidays. I don’t know what they may be interested in, but probably a youth exchange is a good idea for some. The sports festival interested quite a few.

We must contact the city about twin cities abroad. This could be a good start to establishing contacts with similar projects and, possibly, start inquiring about the feasibility of youth exchanges.

Yes, that can be important in motivating the peers! I am sure that they would really like to travel! All young people do!

Sorry, Matto. This is not our project. This is their project!

We must look for ways to support the peer group leaders, both financial and motivational. Need to see what Ban Uppa can do!

This is good because it brings in the media and for once there may be positive reports about these youngsters.

This may be a great project! We need to foresee some kind of youth party or festival towards the end. It would be good to have their opinion on our work.

So, first we get them interested. Then we consult them. We train the peer leaders. We do the campaign. By then we should have enough contacts and gained their confidence to engage on the youth exchange and on the sports festival. We get them in the media. We involve them in Ban Uppa.

2. Now think about your own project. Discuss the following questions.

a. What is actually going to happen?

b. When are you going to do what?

c. With whom are you going to do it (colleagues, partners, participants)?
