The project is set in the context of the need for young people to become aware that even if we are living in different countries and we have different cultures we must learn how to live together and be able to find the bridges that connect us and make us a big community. The project main goal is to raise awareness of young people regarding the similarities and differences between cultures in order to enlarge their intercultural horizon and to let participants explore in a practical way old traditions of different cultures:The project specific objectives are:1. Offer specific competences and experiences to help the 24 participants of the youth exchange to get out of their “cultural comfort zone” and discover the multitude of cultures surrounding them with the help of sessions that use experiential learning2. Increase the participants cultural knowledge and skills by involving them in practical workshops of creating traditional crafts/objects from each of the participants countries in the exchange3. Develop participants ability to understand how the surrounding culture influences our daily life by creating a space where they can explore the core elements that form a culture4. Enhance on a long term participants tolerance and respect towards other cultures in order to reduce negative effects such as discrimination and stereotypesThe project includes 24 participants from Cyprus, Romania, Italy, Bulgaria, Lithuania and Croatia and 7 young leaders. Participants are aged 16-30 years old and half of each national group is formed of young people with fewer opportunities.
