Start date: Aug 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Youth exchange »Etno Groove« is an international youth exchange in which there will be 25 young participants from five different countries, Armenia, Macedonia, Romania, Croatia and Slovenia. The participants are aged between 18 and 25, 10 of the involved young people are youth with fewer opportunities. The exchange will last from the 2nd of September till the 11th of September 2014 and will be taking place in Krško. It’s main purpose is to spread multicultural awareness and awareness of a common Europe, to encourage active participation among young people through the process of informal education in the field of music folk tradition. Working progress will take place in groups in three different workshops, individual mentoring of the workshops will be lead by group leaders of each partner country. There will be music, choir and dance workshops, where young people will learn about the elements of different traditions and create singing, music and dance routines which will be traditional music intertwined with modern approaches. The objectives of the exchange are that young people acquire as many informal knowledge in the field of music and dance and other folk traditions of their own and other countries, business, multimedia, English, interpersonal competencies, which means that they can continue to be used in their life and can also be represented as their qualities. Music workshops will be enriched with further workshops, like the workshop on how to gain Youthpass, and workshops on acceptance of diversity and tolerance and entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship. As a complement workshops on musical traditions, there will also be intercultural evenings and evening presentations about celebrating the holidays in a single country where it is expected that the presentations will develop discussions on the impact of religion on daily life. In the last part of the exchange performances are planned, where young people will project their work and present it to various target populations, which will be achieved by visits to various institutions in the municipality of Krško, we will be hosted by two elementary schools, we will perform in the Cultural Centre in Podbočje, in the local mall Qlandia and in the Home for the elderly. One of the performances will be streaming live online and the residents of other countries will be able to watch it from home. The largest impact is expected in the local environment of the municipality of Krško, where the exchange will take place and where the regular activities of the last part of the project involve various organizations and target groups, which will allow the impact of intercultural learning to spread European awareness, promotion of informal education, and Erasmus+ programme. These effects will also be achieved after the completion of the exchange in partners’ countries by viewing live and by making good presentations of the project partners. The youth workers involved will benefit from the project by the exchange of good practices and our organizations will also benefit from the wider publicity.
