The group of participants was challenged to generate new ideas about the Youth in Action Program, particularly about EVS, concerning new possibilities and out-of-the-box solutions to problems needed to be addressed in the present action. Creative techniques were used in order to stimulate idea generation, such as: causality of free combining of ideas, brainstorming, mind mapping, co-creation and action planning. The outputs of these activities were extremely relevant, and some concrete ideas have the potential of being presented to the Portuguese NA, and even the European Commission.
