During the exchange, the participants will work full-time for the host organisation, both with work planned by the project coordinators and with projects as agreed within the project overall goal and objectives. The purpose of the exchange is to build bridges of friendship and understanding among the young greens of the world. The participants will have four months to get to know their host country’s culture, political and social environment whilst being ambassadors of the green vision, raising awareness about green ideology and the need to shift our society towards sustainability, justice and equality. The theme of the exchange is Climate Justice; seeing climate change as an ethical question where the North and the South have different burdens and responsibilities. The exchange program will give young greens of Norway and Kenya an unique opportunity to get to know people from another culture, share experiences and promote international understanding. This will in turn give a strong foundation for cooperation within the global green movement and the promotion of sustainable development and peace. During the exchange they will work full-time for the hosting organization. The participants will have some work tasks defined by the host organisations but will also be left free to run their own projects. The call for applications is open until Sunday 6 April.
