The participants develop a guide with special information about interesting places for teenagers and a presentation of „their“ favored place in their hometown Berlin-Kreuzberg, Sola, Ürgüp, Pznan and Nijmegen. The guide will contain a to-do and not-to-do-list of expected behavior and attitudes, which are considered as important to be accepted as insider among teenagers. The guide addresses young tourists from abroad and young migrants who arrived in the involved towns recently. It will be developed and tested in teamwork with the partner´s school participants. The guide will be developed in bi-lingual versions (No, Tk, De, Nl, Pl and English).

Between the international meetings all partners are equally demanded to contribute with their ideas and feed back to the ongoing project´s process. During the international meeting the hosting partners will have special responsibilities for the program (presentation of the school, the draft version of the new developed guide, testing, evaluating as well as a framework program to introduce the partners in local life). The overall communication will be coordinated by the coordinating partner; all partners are requested to contribute by developing questionnaires, by an active feed back, especially during the feed back phases. Beyond these tasks the responsibilities for the following tasks are equally distributed among all partners: working out questionnaires, working out the design for the project´s web page, the print out, a flyer, the digital version of the guides (look at detailed description at part D) The contact persons of every partner school will held Skype conferences every 2 months to manage the ongoing of the project in all aspects. hide
