DofE Story
International meeting of DofE programme leaders in the Netherlands
In the first week of February, the fourth of a series of international exchanges within the Erasmus+ programme and the DofE project took place, this time the participants visited the Netherlands. The main topic of the meeting was youth work and non-formal education.
A team of twenty participants, mostly youth project leaders from five countries, were able to attend a three-day training in Woudenberg, the Netherlands. In a rural farm setting, they engaged in workshops on the topic of youth motivation, exchanging experiences from their practice.
"The selection of guest speakers could not have been better. Their passion for the same cause, their drive to lead the younger generations and build a better future together was pervasive. Having such a wonderful opportunity to meet people who are experienced, intelligent and vision-driven in a quality discussion may never be repeated. I am extremely grateful to have had the privilege," says exchange participant Jan Jech.

Expeditions
We bring you more news and simplifications in the field of expeditions. Many of you are contacting us because you don't have enough participants to organize an expedition. We have therefore created a table where you can search for participants from other local centres, make arrangements and go on an expedition together. The spreadsheet follows a few simple rules, which you can find right there. If you have any questions, please contact your regional manager.
Please note - this is not an expedition organised by the National Centre, the table is solely for you and to facilitate your mutual arrangements.
The link to the table is here: https://bit.ly/expedicni_tabulka
