Caritas Malta was the hosting partner for a feasibility visit entitled "Voices for Inclusion?", which took place recently.
This project was carried out with the support of the European Community and involved the participation of partner organisations from Norway, Latvia, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Slovenia, Poland as well as Malta.
The aim of this initiative was to plan and create projects focusing on the theme of inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities.
The next phase of this project will entail the participation of a group of Caritas Malta volunteers in a youth exchange in Hamburg this summer where they will meet other young people from the organisation's partner countries.
Apart from encouraging the youth volunteers to plan and implement community-based projects on the theme of social inclusion, the experiential learning techniques that will be used throughout this exchange will also aim at providing prospects for personal development in a multicultural environment.
