This youth exchange aims to give young people an opportunity to meet each other across borders in Lommel, Belgium, and to discuss personal, cultural and international issues and to do this by the help of theater with which everybody can express him/herself and his/her national identity. In the summer of 2016 10 young people from Turkey and Belgium will visit the German war grave cemetery for 1 constructive week of workshops and activities. The young participants will demonstrate how friendship can bring different cultures together and help not only the young generation but also the European community to face the conflicts of the past and work for peace in future. Our objectives are to learn about each other an eacht others culture, to create awareness considering war/peace/european citizenship...and to transform some negative feelings/thoughts into positive and progressive ones, by using arts and reflection.The participants learn to work together and create a group feeling beyond borders.At the end they will see the advantages of working together, when all the theaterpieces are finished and shown to others.We are going to create an exchange with 2 countries (Turkey and Belgium). Each country will bring 5 young participants and 1 leader. They are youngsters between 18 and 25 yeas old. They should be interested in arts and history and international cooperation. They have to be open minded towards other cultures, youngsters, past and future.We will organise some groupbonding activities like a bikeride though Lommel city, High adventure parcours, citytrip to Brussels. After that there will be theater workshops and a final event to present and celebrate the obtained friendship!Everything will happen through open and good communication, where 1 leader is chosen to organise and motivate the youngsters.As a result we aim to create some inspiring en instructive "theater peaces", aswell as a videoclip abouth the exchange.We hope that the youngsters understand the advantage and necessity of international, european and intercultural dialogue for a peaceful and conscious world!
