The project reunited the best from the East and West, as 40 young participants from Sweden, Denmark and the Russian Federation gathered for community volunteer work in Cheboksary, in the Russian Federation. All of the young participants were disadvantaged. Four different projects were identified and the young volunteers were put into four international groups, each responsible for one of the projects in a local community. The young people were the main organisers and facilitators of the projects. The four projects included: 1. Pollution of the River Volga. The team made a leaflet to be handed out and organised a petition. They arranged an event to help clean up a beach and forest at a popular tourist site. 2. Children’s Home. From gardening to leading workshops for children, and talking about fashion and culture with teenagers, the team actively participated in the activities of the children’s home. 3. Volunteering at a Juvenile Centre. Playing games, learning about each other’s languages, hosting a dinner or a soccer match. 4. Work at a School. The volunteers introduced kids to diff erent countries, their languages and cultures. When they found out that the school needed a bus, they organised a music concert at a market to raise money. This project gave participants the opportunity to work on diff erent social problems with a multicultural team, resulting in an eye-opening experience that inspired them to look at their own life from another perspective.
