This project will have 5 partners from across the European Union the countries are Bulgaria, Czech rep. Hungary. Italy and UK. We are looking for 12 young people 4 accompanying adults and two leaders from each country making a total of 70 participants to come together to learn different cultures during this Cultural Youth Exchange. The project will take place at The Eccles Hall School in Rural Norfolk. This is a residential school with different building for males and females accommodation. There are extensive grounds to use including outdoor activities. The school will provide 3 meals per day from Saturday 28 May to Sunday 5 June 2016. which include a packed lunch for our cultural trips to London and Norwich. There will be a cultural evening where each country will have the opportunity to present their city and culture through presentation, dance food etc. There are two days of workshops around the theme of the project. The project is Disability what is it. The young people will work in mixed gender groups to discuss in a non formal way through Art, Drama, Film and Discussion. This will be followed by each group presenting their workshops to the rest of the group. There will be a day of outdoor activities where the young people will work together and learn new skills through climbing archery etc. During the evening activities the young people will be able to learn from one another and reach a mutual understanding from people from another country through dancing, singing and socializing. There will be 2 cultural days one in Norwich and one in London. During both these day the young people will have tasks to undertake, this will enable them to learn more about the cultures of our cities.At the end of each day of the project there will be an evaluation both in small groups and as a whole. This will be done to confirm the feelings and experiences of the young people. During these evaluations the young people we see if they have achieved any of the planned outcomes that will be displayed on the wall.The 60 young people taking part in this project are from many different backgrounds with fewer opportunities. During this project we are expecting the young people to gain in confidence. learn new skills and experiences through Communication team work and language. The young people will be made aware of the European Union and its citizenship and experience cultures from their new friends from around the EU. This project will have a lasting impact for these young people enabling them to be confident enough to advance their education or work experience.
