"An einem Samstag im April: Jugendkulturen in Europa"
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2014 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Idea of the project: With this project we focus on young people and their so called "youth culture". The joint work shall aim at a better understanding between and knowledge of the youths and their respective culture, to set reflection process in motion and to offer the young people new options. Preparation of the project: All young people who take part in this project write some kind of diary at the weekend of 26th and 27th April (short texts: at the morning, noon, evening and night) and make a comic, foto-story or collage. The texts should be sent in one of the following languages: German, English or French. Carrying out of the project: We will send the documents of the youths to the responsible persons in the different twin cities until 15th May - as basis for the performance that will be worked out by the youths together with two professional theatre pedagogues in July. At the last day of the action this performance will be presented to the public. The main effects we hope to achieve with our international EU project "An einem Samstag im April: Jugendkulturen in Europa" are understanding, respect and friendship of the young people of six nations of which more than the half come from sections of society with low levels of academic achievement and often socially disadvantaged backgrounds. We want to show that differences in language and culture don't mean differentiation but an incentive to talk to each other, get to know the different cultures and ways of life and to compare them in the different forms and contents of the youth cultures in Europe. It will be an extraordinary experience for the youths to understand each other without interpreters and to create a performance together. We are convinced that this project will improve their self-esteem and make them curious to encounters with youths from other countries.
