Overview of the project aims

This week the group will be learning about the differences in culture and language from the partner countries. We have partners from Spain, Hungary, Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay and Momentum from the UK.
We will be planning a local activity to run in our home countries on our return. This will be to inform the local community about the project and how they can get involved. Focussing mainly on young people from rural areas.

After the week long seminar in Hungary each European country will host two young people from a Latin American country, on a job shadowing programme. The UK will host Roberto and Andres from Paraguay and Uruguay. Whilst in the UK they will be working in Rotherham with Paul and myself. During the week I will post some more information about these two and their expectations for the week ahead.

Later this year the second part of the project will be held in Uruguay, a five day seminar. In which two young people from the UK and other European counties will then complete a ten day job shadowing in a Latin American country. The young people will be keeping a blog during this time in order to help in the overall evaluation, plus its a great record.

The cultural learning throughout the whole of this project should be a great opportunity to learn about our differences and also the similarities that unites us. Allowing our network and net to grow.
