We are days away from the start of the implementation of the youth exchange “Be Happy, Be a Polyglot” in #Krushevo that from the 1st to 8th of November 2022 will bring together 37 young people and youth leaders from Macedonia, 🇷🇸 Serbia, 🇧🇬 Bulgaria,
Italy, 🇪🇸 Spain and 🇷🇴 Romania.
The main aim of the project is to bring together 37 young people and youth leaders in order to deconstruct the myth that learning new languages is a difficult thing to do. see that young people in participating countries are facing real economic difficulties and we see the skill of being a polyglot as a way out of the unemployment cycle. We think that being a polyglot can help the youngsters because basically, learning a foreign language opens a world of job opportunities. It can also open many potential career doors, not only in terms of the range of jobs, but also the range of destinations to find a job abroad.
The project is developed upon the idea that the advantages of learning foreign languages can set a person up for success in nearly every aspect of their life. Young people from participating countries are facing real economic difficulties and the project will promote the idea that the skill of being a polyglot is a way out of the unemployment cycle. Being a polyglot can help young people because basically, learning a foreign language opens a world of job opportunities. It can also open many potential career doors, not only in terms of the range of jobs, but also the range of destinations to find a job abroad.
With this project, we would like to show that once you learn a new language it would be easier to learn a new language, especially if it belongs in the same group of languages. By learning one Slavic language it will be easier to learn and to be able to understand the other ones. The same goes for the Romance languages.
The youth exchange will use methods that are based on non-formal and experiential education in order to provide all the participants with the information needed to enhance their learning process, but also in order to create an inclusive and learner-centered learning environment.
The project is funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union through the Macedonian National Agency for European educational programmes and mobility.
Our partners are: CET PLATFORM Italy (Italy), CET PLATFORM Bulgaria (Bulgaria), Intercambia (Spain), Azbuki (Serbia) and Super Tineri ASIRYS (Romania).
Thanks to Vila Gora – Krusevo for being our host once again and for their hospitality!
