PROJECT
FINISHED
Our project was called “Create your own world” and it was actually aiming to help the young people believe in themselves and create the world they want to live in. With this project we aimed to help young people to be implemented in society in a productive and creative way. Our project took place mainly in Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, but when needed, we travelled to other cities as well. We made a variety of different events, such as a Laughter Festival, Human Library event, Theatre Festival, and several other actions for a better society, such us Informative sessions for various subjects about youth. As part of their daily activities, volunteers led inter-cultural workshops to promote their countries, they had access to a kitchen to prepare regional dishes, music equipment, and art materials. They also organised movie nights, traditional games nights and many more. The volunteers had a huge role in organising all these. Besides that, there was a need of volunteers that worked with young people to help them learn Greek, English, as well as other languages, and help them find creative ways to spend their time and express themselves, such as theatre workshops, art crafts workshops and music/dance/sports workshops. We had four volunteers from, Spain, Italy, Croatia and Czech Republic, to help us run this project for nine months, from July 2015 to April 2016.
