Description
EU Should I Stay or Should I Go„ is going to be an online youth exchange which will include more than 40 young people and group leaders from 6 different countries: Italy, Spain, Hungary, N.Macedonia, Montenegro and Germany.
This project represents continuation of NaturKultur’s Erasmus youth exchanges focused on youth involvement in the EU and the EU politics. “Should I stay or should I go” refers to dilemma on three levels: current EU challenges of the Brexit aftermath (should other Member States stay?), the question on the EU enlargement (should potential Member States continue their EU integration?) and the role of youth (should they take active political role?). Youth have to tell what they think about the current European issues and to offer their solution. This project is exactly here to help them with this, both indirectly and directly.
The programme of this project is designed to create a friendly atmosphere in which participants are free to express their opinion, appreciating at the same time opinion of others.
The plan was to organize residential exchange during the project, but because of pandemic we decided to organize it online instead.

7. All partners should do their best to create gender balanced teams
