To the youngsters from the different countries, the project will offer the opportunity of sharing community values and learn about other cultures, creating space for intercultural communication and put an end to cultural barriers.
The planned activities will help the participants to obtain new abilities and skills to break the stereotypes for other cultures and create an atmosphere of common understanding.
The participants from each country will have the opportunity to present a part of their culture and traditions during the intercultural evenings. There will be organized workshops for the participants that will create a sense of confidence among them, and will encourage them to be ´active citizens´ and take an active part in their community. Also, they will participate in creative workshops making graffiti, comics, crafts, paintings etc. and everything that expresses their understanding, tollerance, and diversity. Eventually, looking for a united and common Europe.
In the evenings, we will have dances and songs that will help us understand the folclore of each country-participant.
