Call for Participants for Europe+ Youth Project
Europa + Youth is an Erasmus+ Youth Exchange designed to connect young
Europeans from diverse cultural backgrounds, encouraging active
participation and promoting European values. Through shared living,
reconnecting with nature, and raising environmental awareness, we aim to
explore our common values and learn from our cultural differences, all while
strengthening our European intercultural identity.
Prosvation is seeking 5 young peolpe (age 18-30) to participate. Read more here!
The main goal of this project is to address the challenges faced by European
youth, promoting their engagement in the European community. At the same
time, it aims to support the educational, professional, and personal
development of young people by creating hands-on learning opportunities, enhancing social and emotional skills, promoting mental and physical well- being, and encouraging creativity and critical thinking.
We hope that this Youth Exchange, funded by the Erasmus+ programme, will
help increase your knowledge, respect, and tolerance towards people from
other cultures, as well as support you in developing the skills and
competences needed to grow in all areas of your life.
Your active participation and commitment will be key to making this
exchange a truly enriching experience for everyone. Make the most of
every moment and turn this experience into something truly
unforgettable!

During the project, you will be staying at the Andújar Municipal Hostel, which
is fully equipped to meet our needs throughout the exchange. The hostel has suitable facilities for our stay and will be the place where most of the project-
covered meals will take place. However, please note that there is no Wi-Fi service available.
Hostel Rules: Upon arrival, we will provide you with a detailed explanation of
the basic and essential rules you must follow to ensure the smooth running of
the activities. Some of the most important rules include:
No smoking or drinking alcohol inside the hostel premises.
Respect for the facilities and adherence to the established schedules.
These rules are designed to ensure a safe and pleasant environment for all
participants.
During the exchange, most of the meals
covered by the project will take place at
the municipal hostel. The menus will be
prepared by an experienced cook, but
we will take turns sharing tasks such as
helping with cleaning and serving food
to the whole group.
We will strive to provide both
vegetarian and vegan options, but it is
essential that you communicate your
preferences as well as any food
allergies so that we can take them into
account.
Meals
In Andújar’s cuisine, everything revolves around extra virgin olive oil and the
wide variety of local products.
The typical dish is “carne de monte” a marinated venison stew, and generally
game meats like wild boar, rabbit, and partridge, all seasoned with spices from
the surrounding mountains and enriched with the unmistakable flavor of its
extraordinary olive oil. Additionally, we can’t forget local specialties such as
“flamenquín, ” which originated in Andújar.
During the 5 days of the exchange (excluding the two travel days), you will have
the opportunity to get to know each other better, learn about our cultures,
reconnect with nature, and discover Andújar, a place rich in cultural and natural
heritage.
The activity program is not yet finalized, as we want to involve you, the
participants, and adapt it based on suggestions from the sending organizations
and local conditions such as the weather. Therefore, some planned activities may
change.

The Europe + Youth project primarily aims to address various challenges
affecting European youth by promoting their participation and involvement in
the European community. The activities consist of dynamic workshops focused
on different key areas:
Inclusion: We will work on this area through activities that encourage
inclusion within the group, as well as exchange activities with local youth and
participants from other cultures.
Equality: We will hold workshops and talks on the importance and role of
rural women in society.
Democracy: We will visit the local Town Hall to learn about its functioning
and the role of local administration, followed by a debate session about the
European elections and the role of youth in the current European democratic
system.
Environment: Activities will include guided tours of the Natural Park,
workshops on building birdhouses, tree reforestation, recycling and t-shirt
decoration, and a visit to the honey interpretation center.
Technology and Digitalization: We will cover topics such as cybersecurity
and other internet-related issues through specialized workshops.
The exchange will take place in June. Andújar is a town located in the province of
Jaén, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, in southern Spain. The climate
in Andújar is typically Mediterranean, and June is usually very hot, so don’t
forget to bring light and suitable clothing for high temperatures.
Erasmus+ Insurance:
All participants are covered by the insurance arranged by their coordinating
organization, as provided within the Erasmus+ Program framework. This
insurance complements the coverage of national social security systems and
covers the entire duration of the project. The insurance application must be
completed before departure and is offered free of charge to participants thanks

at your local health center, guarantees you access to medical care under the same
