My Kind of Place

My Kind of Place was an Erasmus+ youth exchange in Kaş, Türkiye, from 14 to 22 November 2024 (seven days of activities plus two travel days). It brought together 44 participants, staff included, from Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Türkiye and Serbia. Participants were aged 18 to 30; there was no age limit for group leaders.

Why digital skills and healthy habits?

Digital skills are now part of almost everything we do, and the gap between those who have them and those who don't keeps growing. At the same time, a life spent mostly on screens can harm our physical, mental and emotional health. We had worked on both topics separately before, and this exchange brought them together: how to become confident in the digital world while keeping a healthy balance.

Through workshops, debates and creative activities, the six partner organisations gave young people a space to learn about both topics, practise them and express themselves in their own way.

Project goals

• Improve digital skills for self-awareness, communication and self-expression in the modern digital world.
• Make the path to employment easier by building new soft and hard skills.
• Develop a shared understanding of a healthy lifestyle and practise finding a balance between online and offline life.
• Promote non-formal education, cultural exchange, tolerance and solidarity.
• Raise awareness of European citizenship and its benefits.

Results

The participants created a booklet and an article (see the documents below), two short films and a series of video testimonials.
