About the final seminar

The main objective of the final seminar was to bring all the partners together for a final time to wrap up the project of National Treasures. This involved going through the final report together, discussing feedback not only from the participants but from the organisations as a whole, taking the time to really think about and value what they have learnt and benefited from that they will carry on in their organisation. Partners said they had really seen the benefit from hosting/sending EVS as well as Youth Exchanges and most would be happy, and enthusiastic to try it the other way round. (e.g. Brazil host a youth exchange rather than send on one). They said the organisations have grown strong together and formed a lasting bond- creating new partnerships and projects together e.g. Sweden and Australia are now creating a circus project together. They have learnt from obstacles that have had to be overcome how to fully prepare for them as well as deal with them, the red flags to look out for and who can benefit most from these inclusion projects.
