“Dream Your Future – Zukunftsträume” – A Multilateral Hybrid Youth Exchange Elena Neu | IJAB
Overview
Funding Dream your Future formed part of the Kommune goes International (KGI) project and was funded by the German Federal Ministry for Family Af- fairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth. The City of Hamm provided funding for one workshop leader. Brief project description As pandemic-related restrictions meant that it was hard- ly possible to run any youth exchanges, in the summer of 2020 IJAB invited the members of the Germany-wide KGI network to take part in a virtual experiment. The aim was to try out various options for conducting a digital youth exchange and to disseminate the insights gained. Other objectives were to promote opportunities for communi- cation with participants with other first languages and to break down barriers to communicating in a foreign language. Further, participants were to learn to be more open towards people they do not yet know and to es- tablish contact with young people from other countries, enabling them to better deal with unfamiliar situations and become open to new experiences with people from other cultures.
