Raising the Bar: Euromed A Way Forward
31st March – 6 April 2014
enabling them to transfer the knowledge, attitudes and skills in their local and European realities
when working with young people.
5) Increase the participation of young people
6) Promote cultural diversity; the nature of the training
course is a melting pot of cultures coming from the
EUROMED region. The participants will learn about
each other’s cultures. They will come to understand
that although there are deep rooted differences, these
differences can enrich our experience rather than
being a point of friction and conflict. Thus, this training
course aims at making the participants appreciate
cultural diversity and celebrate it and therefore
building on the values of the European Union which
stresses that in diversity lies our unity.
7) Promote inclusion; The training will specifically tackle inclusion through specific session which will
lead participants to reflect on the situation in the their country and in their own personal lives.

What about Malta?
Malta is a tiny Island with a lot of history which goes back thousands of years (http://www.visitmalta.com/).
Malta is also well known for its beautiful shores and kindness of the people (I hope you would agree with this
statement after the training course as well).
The climate is not too cold in winter and piping hot in summer. In October – We can expect anything from Sun
to a bit of a rain, but with an average temperature of 20 degrees. Malta although small in its size we are proud
to have our own unique language (which is Semitic in its roots but influences by Italian, French and English),
we also speak English as well, so don’t worry, you don’t need to learn Maltese!!

Practicalities
(This will be communicated to you later on once we book the hotel/hostel)

Costs
This training course is co-financed by Youth in Action programme. Therefore 70% of the travelling and
accommodation and Visa costs are covered by the Youth in Action programme. As a participant you have to
pay 30% of the travelling. By Travelling we mean, Buses, Trains, Flights and any transport you might take to
arrive from home in your country to the hotel in Malta. Please note that only the cheapest option will be
reimbursed, therefore no 1st class tickets please!!! Choose your cheapest viable option to get from home to
Malta in Time. You have to make your travelling arrangements yourselves!! IMP!! Keep any
receipts/tickets/boarding passes you might have since we cannot reimburse any tickets if we are not given
these documents!!
Should you wish to spend more time in Malta this is possible but you would have to cover the accommodation
costs since the Youth in Action Programme covers only costs related to the duration of the project.

Intercultural Eve
If you already took part in a Training course you might be aware what intercultural Evening is… If this is your
first time I will explain. It is a tradition that on one of the evenings during the training course; all the
participants gather together and present food and drinks which they bring with them from their country.
Therefore this is a polite invitation for you to get some goodies from your country for the rest of us to try
out!!...apart from the food you might also get some information (posters, postcards, leaflets etc…) about your
home country for us to appreciate…who knows maybe we will come and visit you one day!!
