"Let’s Go Out " is a Youth Exchange project coordinated by the Latvian organization "Saldusjauniesu Dome ‘Esunmes,'’ under the Erasmus+ program. The Exchange aimed to give an opportunity to youth to explore different outdoor activities in a multicultural environment. The 24 participants in this Exchange came from Jordan, Latvia, Tunisia and Spain. The participants shared their country's' traditional outdoor games and activities on the ground.
The Latvian group offered shared kayaking, orienteering sports and a rope obstacle challenge. The participants practiced 30 outdoor games during the 8 days of this project. They prepared a day event for Latvian youth where they taught them several games and traditional dances. The participants came up with a number of inspiring and motivational quotes about outdoor activities.

"I have participated in this youth exchange powered by the Erasmus + program to represent my country Jordan with other countries; Tunisia, Spain and Latvia the hosting country. In this exchange we experienced so many outdoor activities from each country that improves the teamwork and sharing skills, also we have been able to arrange and organize activities for all the participants and gather their feedbacks and try to improve it in the other days, and at the end of the exchange we were able to organize a huge event for the local children full of challenging activities. At the end of this event each country shared a traditional/famous dance and taught it to others and we danced it together. I learned a lot from this exchange about team leadership and organizing events also improved my competencies in different ways."
