Our project, "Arts and cultures over the Borderlines" aims at bringing together young people through arts and helping them to understand different cultures , and also disabilities. As it is, Varsinais-Suomen Kansanopisto is a small community that already brings together people from various backgrounds. Through the work of the volunteers we will increase internationality and cooperation with people from various cultures in our school. The project will continue through one school year, and it will include two volunteers from two European countries, France and Germany. The volunteers will be working primarily with the students of Varsinais-Suomen Kansanopisto and work to realise different projects: a project of visual arts or photography with the group of creative activities for the disabled, band projects and concerts with the pop- & rock students, plays with the musical theatre group, and different projects like children's events or school festivities that are realised together by the students of different training programmes. Through these kind of projects both the volunteers and our students will learn about planning and organizing different events and projects, and also about cooperation and group work. In addition to working with the students of our school, the volunteers will also be able to visit different places in Paimio to tell about their culture and voluntary work. As Paimio is a rather small commune, the volunteers will be able to offer many local young people a chance to get to know young people from other European countries. At the same time the volunteers will get to know more about Finnish culture and participate in different activities in the community.Through working with these different groups of people in projects concerning arts or cultural exchange, the volunteers, the students and the personnel of our folk high school and other young people in Paimio will be "crossing borderlines."
