Intermezzo Ungdom wants to acquire some experiences in European projects by participating in Erasmus+, to improve skills necessary to help stakeholders. We believe that having experience in partnership our organization could get knowledge of good practices and work methods to manage better in social-educational field.The most of members of Intermezzo Ungdom are immigrants and are very active in local and international level.The organization achieves targets by participation and development of: training courses, workshops, events, meetings, cultural exchanges, information points. Organization performs activities with young and adults.
Our organisation has good lots of experience and have done lots of activities for youth in Drammen and Norway. Most of our members are immigrant with fewer opportunities. It was very hard to come to new country and start everything from ZERO. Intermezzo has been meeting place for immigrants and ethnic Norwegian. Our local, national and international projects’ results indicated that our organisation plays different roles in the different stages in their life. To being part of our organisation allows for legitimate peripheral participation when the immigrants move from observing at a distance to more active participation. Organisation functions as a high intensive as well as a low intensive meeting place and seems to contribute to building social capital in a variety of ways.
