Escape the Phobia

About the project:

The project "Be Ready" consists of one youth exchange in Sweden where you will get:

• Intercultural experience

• Learn about homo/bi/transphobia and how to stand up against it!

• Work in international teams

• Organize ESCAPE the phobia events!

 

The aim of the project is to engage young people in the topic of homo/bi/transphobia, empower them with skills of how to stand up against it and connect young people from different countries to learn from each other.

The main objectives of the project are:

• Provide time and space for young people to learn about homo/bi/transphobia

• Empower young people with skills of standing up against homo/bi/transphobia

• Create ESCAPE the phobia events to engage the local community in the topic

​

The youth exchange will be held in Kopparberg, located 219 km west of Stockholm. Kopparberg is a small village famous for the brewery and is located one hour from Örebro - the sixth largest city in Sweden.

​

We are looking for 5 participants from Estonia between 14-17 y.o. and 1 experienced group leader 18+.

​

Hosting organisation and a coordinator of the project ¨Awesome People¨ is a youth NGO that has great experience in organising such programmes since 2013. Every time we were working with them, participants were very happy with the experience!

​

Once selection of the participants is done, we will have a preparation meeting with the whole group and a group leader, and we will sign the agreements with parents of every youngster. 

​

We highly recommend this project, especially for those, who's never been to a Youth Exchange before!

​

There is a participation fee of 30€ in this project.
