What are we organizing a few days from now? What is communication? What does communication mean to you? How do you communicate?

Whatever answer you may have found, imagine a world without communication, and you will get a fair picture of the essence of communication.

In a few days, we are organizing a youth exchange for the purpose of practicing communication and English for young people aged 14-18. In our youth exchange organized in Cristuru Secuiesc, 46 young individuals will participate from Italy, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Spain, and Turkey.

Our goal is to gain a deeper understanding of the importance of how to communicate in various situations, how to better understand ourselves and the world around us through verbal and non-verbal cues. How we change, how we evolve, and how our vocabulary expands, how our language usage changes, or how we communicate in different life situations.

The acquisition of effective communication skills is extremely important in everyday life, in business, in school, at the university, and essentially anywhere social interactions take place. During the youth exchange, our aim will be to enhance the communication skills of young people and help them better understand themselves and each other because an individual’s success in life is closely tied to the acquisition of effective communication skills. According to some studies, 85% of success is attributed to communication skills, and 15% to the acquisition of job-related skills. Effective communication skills facilitate individuals’ behavior and guide them towards their desired goals.

We pay attention to aligning and approaching perspectives, concepts, and ideas, as well as developing smooth communication within a team through non-formal activities.

Proper communication skills aid in making sound decisions, rendering judgment without fanaticism or bias. We strive to equip participants with essential skills, such as listening to the other party in a credible and unbiased manner.

During the youth exchange, participants can acquire these skills through non-formal learning methods. Learning from each other, followed by joint discussions and debates, characterize the work processes. Participants in the exchange program can not only enhance their communication skills but also practice the English language and get acquainted with new cultures and completely new languages, as well as non-verbal signals.

The youth exchange is financed by the Erasmus+ Program of the European Union.
