8 – 16 June, 2015
Tallinn, Estonia

The non-governmental organisation Tallin University Student Union (MTÜ Tallinna Ülikooli Üliõpilaskond) is host organisation of the international youth training project BOLD – Building Opportunities for leadership and Developement.

BOLD will take place in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, from 8 to 16 June 2015. The Association EPEKA, Soc. Ent., will participate as a partner organisation with four of its members.

During the working activities, the organisers and trainers will use informal learning methods such as:

  • presentations,
  • group work,
  • discussions,
  • mixed group work,
  • role-playing and other methods to bring together participants from Estonia, Latvia, Slovenia, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Macedonia, France, Czech Republic and Romania.

The main aim and objective of the organisers is to bring the values and benefits of international youth work to the attention of the project participants. Organising and implementing youth activities such as youth exchanges, volunteering activities, seminars and trainings etc. is a good way to enrich and contribute to the local community. The working language of the exchange is English, but a poor knowledge of the language is not a barrier to participation, but an incentive for active communication and broadening of skills.

The project is funded by the EU Ersamus+ programme.

The Youth Exchange promotes the European YOUTHPASS certificate.

The costs of accommodation, meals and the programme are covered by the activity organiser or the host organisation. The portion of travel costs reimbursed per participant from Slovenia is based on distance, which can be checked here and amounts to € 275.

The Association EPEKA, Soc. Ent., is supported by the Municipality of Maribor, the Slovenian Youth Office, the EU Erasmus+ Programme and the EU Culture Programme.
