Who are interested in learning more about the concept of neurodiversity and motivated to bring the methodologic knowledge they acquired during the exchange back to raise awareness in their own local communities.

The project is expected to contribute the most to the social and interpersonal competences of the participants, besides the scientific and historical knowledge gained on the target topics. It is also expected that the participants will develop their cultural awareness, foreign language skills, and ICT, learning to learn competences for a great extent. Personal learning objectives will be defined by the participants at the beginning of the project, meaning each participant can measure the achievement of those on a personal level. During the activities, we use non-formal methods based on practical learning and learning-by-doing, where the participants can learn from each other, follow their own learning agendas, supported by the

group leaders/mentors.

Our Objectives:

• To organize a 10 day long youth exchange involving 24 participants with neurodiverse backgrounds from Hungary,

  Turkiye, Bulgaria, and Italy on the topics of neurodiversity, instutitional exclusion, promotion of inclusion, link of solidarity

  and diversity, peer support group methodology, self-reflection and self-awareness.

• To transmit and multiply the European values of solidarity, human rights, freedom, diversity, inclusion, and equality in the

  participants' immediate surroundings and local communities.

Our methods:

  activities, role-playing exercises, discussions, etc. These hands-on experiences enable them to enhance their social and

  interpersonal skills. By working together on the tasks or organizing workshops during the exchange, participants learn

  practical skills while building strong bonds with their peers.

• Self awareness /self knowledge practices: Through the activities desinged to engage in a journey to self-knowledge, we

  will develop social and emotional skills, participants will gain insights into their own strengths and weaknesses, fostering

  personal growth and resilience.

  method. Through shared experiences and empathy, participants will learn to provide valuable support to one another,

  helping combat issues such as burnout, anxiety, and social exclusion in their surroundings, as well as analyzing."
