Foundation for Entrepreneurship, Culture and Education is looking for five enthusiastic Bulgarian participants (aged 18-25) and one group leader (18+) to join the youth exchange Youth Empowerment for Resilient Communities which will take place in Călărași, Romania from April 25 to May 5, 2025 (with travel days included).
In an increasingly unpredictable world, the ability to respond effectively to emergencies and disasters is more critical than ever.
Current research highlights the urgent need to prepare young people for emergencies in Europe, as climate change increases the frequency of natural disasters and the risks of terrorist attacks and armed conflicts remain a threat.
Designed by Dear Future Self Association and 5 partner Youth NGOs, this youth exchange will bring together 30 young people and 6 group leaders to take part in 9-days youth mobility to stimulate emergency response skills, disaster prevention and preparedness, as well as critical thinking and leadership competencies.

Group leader:
- no age restriction for the group leader (must be over 18)
- previous experience with Erasmus+ mobilities is required
- advanced level of English
