In search of new partnerships in the amazing island of Martinique!

In the beginning of October Seiklejate Vennaskond partcipated in a PBA in Martinique which is the overseas territory of France in the Carribean Sea. During the 8 days of the project 15 representative countries (France, Estonia, Lithuania, Germany, Denmark, Croatia, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, UK, Slovakia, Hungary, Spain, Romania and Italy) met to become more familiar with the realities and difficulties young people with fewer opportunities face in these countries and to create new projects in order to fight with these obsticles. We had multible meetings with local organisatsions to learn from their good practices, share ours and to meet new local organisatsions who could be our future partners also. Last two days of the project we were focusing on project developement. All participants put down their thoughts about project ideas and small sub-groups were created for new future projects. Seiklejate Vennaskond was represented in two of these groups and by next year two new projects will hopefully be applied to include more young people into the topic of healty lifestyles and sports and improve the youth work and use of non-formal learning methods in schools and incurage learning in intercultural invironment. Extra to these ideas as a great result of the project we now have multible new contacts from organisatsions all around Europe and also many from Martinique and the surrounding islands to create even more future projects for our youngsters. We feel inspired by all of these meetings and examples of good practices and looking forward to the future cooperations.
