What is Youth 4 Youth - Short Term Group ESC?
Youth 4 Youth is an international exchange project of Jeugddienst Don Bosco vzw and its volunteers. More specific, it is a volunteering project for 16 international animators who will do a service in Belgian youthwork. The service consists of 2 weeks, from Monday till Friday, of volunteering on a Flemish Don Bosco summer camp. The animators will be split up into groups (max. 4 volunteers) and will be active on the different Don Bosco oratories (playgrounds/summer camps).  The aim is to create a joyful time and holidays for the children from the age group of 4 to 16. The volunteers will be working together with Belgian animators to develop creative, challenging and nice activities for the children coming to the playground. The volunteers work together in planning, leading  and evaluation of the programs and thus take active participation in the work with the children (and animators).
The volunteers will train and develop themselves on different levels: youth leadership, social skills, youth work skills, language competence, .... 
During the weekends, all the international volunteers will take part in a joint program which is organized and carried out by Jeugddienst Don Bosco. This program will offer training, evaluation, intercultural activities and cultural sightseeing. 

Where will it be?
The oratories where the small groups of volunteers will stay are located in: 
               - DB Raccoon (Brussels) 
               - DB Oud-Heverlee 
               - DB Heverlee 
               - DB Halle
The weekends will take place in different parts of Belgium. The group of volunteer will come together that weekend, where we will create an awesome atmosphere between all the participants and hosting team. .
