Borderless Youth Exchange
Start date: May 1, 2016, End date: Jan 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

"Borderless Youth Exchange" is a project to bring international partner organisations together, but more important to bring youngsters from different countries together.The project wants to launch and establish an exchange project in which the international network of young talented artists from Belgium, Morocco and Turkey will have an extra dimension. An exchange of a young group of dancers and musicians on the one hand, and young talents from Morocco and Turkey on the other hand. The exchanges are concentrated in September and October of 2016.This project is an aspiration of these young people. Lots of them have a migration background and are anxious to get to know the modern cultural life of young people of their age in these countries. This of course besides the usual exotic and traditional forms of cultural expression from these countries as we can see here many times. The celebration of 50 years of Moroccan and Turkish migration to Belgium in 2014 enflamed even more the motivation and curiosity of youngsters with migration bakcgrounds to launch an exchange project with these countries. Youngsters from Belgium, Morocco and Turkey are in need of extra professional input and are eager to explore new opportunities and experiences, so they can create new ways of blossoming. With this project the youngsters will get to know each others possibilities and benefits, and learn how to create something with this. Essential in this project is exchange, network and meeting between the young participants. In total there will be working intensively 24 participants between 16 and 30 years. Most of them didn’t follow any art classes or artistic education, and are mostly coming out of a difficult socio-economic situation. At het end of the project they will have more experience in exploring and improve their skills by exchange, peer-to-peer learning, and they will have developed a better view on the structures and the forms of expression in other countries.
