Youth exchange “EU CITIZENS OF TOMORROW” is going to be a youth exchange organized in Garlstedt in Germany which will include 45 young people and group leaders from 6 different European Countries: Spain, Czech Republic, Germany, North Macedonia, Montenegro and Ukraine.
This project represents the 6th edition of projects implemented by NaturKultur with the EU and Youth in its focus. Previous five projects have been recognized as successful stories by the participants themselves, partner organisations and all other stakeholders involved. *During this youth exchange, participants will go for a study visit to Brussels where the plan is to visit European Commission and European Parliament.
The goals of the project are:
- Increasing awareness of young Europeans about the concepts of the European culture, European values and European citizenship
- Strengthening of political participation of young people, fostering cooperation between youngsters and politicians;
- Inspiring young people to get involved in the politics at all levels: local, regional, state and the European. Breaking prejudices towards politics and politicians.
All costs for accommodation and food are covered by the Erasmus + programs. Travel costs will be reimbursed up to € 100 for participants from Germany. For this youth exchange we charge a participation fee of € 25 (the amount will be reduced from the travel reimbursement after the exchange.).

Accommodation
We will be accommodated in a youth center/group house in Osterholz- Scharmbeck, close to the city of Bremen, Germany.
The accommodation will be simple. Participants will be sharing rooms with 3-4 people from different nationalities. We strive to accommodate the diverse needs of our guests when assigning rooms, taking into consideration individual preferences and requirements, including those related to gender identity and expression. Some of the rooms are with private and some with shared bathrooms.
We are the only group in the house. Two of our NaturKultur team members will take care of the food and logistics.
