The project "From antiquity to modernity" is addressed to 30 youngsters aged 18-30 from Poland and Romania interested in combining various photography techniques, that is analogue, non-lense photography with the image in 3D technology. It lies in performing physical objects based on 3D models, which are created in any system for spatial design. The youth conducted the survey questionnaire and diagnosed their needs: development of creativity or mutual passions (despite the age difference). The participants are amateurs, but they often expose their photos on various photo galleries. Among participants there can be also mentioned people with economic and geographic obstacles and those culturally diversified. Regarding the youngsters' needs, we can mention the following project objectives:- providing the disadvantaged youth with international youth exchange and enabling them to participate in a non-formal eduactional experience- promotion of international dialogue and cohesion through participation of young people in international exchange- raising youth's skills and knowledge on new technologies in photography (combining techniques) - stimulating creativity among young people- shaping and promoting the attitude fostering further learning process and gaining new knowledge/ experience- exchange of experiences, building an active, civic attitude characterised by tolerance towards "otherness'The project activities include: preparatory visit, youth exchange - cultural and linguistic preparation, 3D projecting workshop, photography lectures, photography workshops (in-practice section, open debates developing and enhancing self-expression and self-awareness, and the gallery crowning the participants' efforts); project management, promotion and dissemination of project results.Referring to workshop methodology and having been suggested by youngsters' needs, we will use the following didactic methods: lectures, seminars, debates, discussion panels (fostering exchange of experiences, views, project evaluation or reflection on the participants' work results), mindmapping, quizzes, teamwork, individual consultations, multimedia presentations (documentaries, demo videos), teleconferences. Visual techniques such as interactive boards, power point presentations, or other ICT tools will be also applied.

The detailed description in H.1 Influence.Long-term benefits: building a positive image of both organisations, spreading information on such educational opportunities, especially for disadavantaged youth, networking with educational institutions in Poland, Romania and Europe, networking with other non-profit organisations (valuable partnerships in future), greater experience in skillful and dexterious management in partnership, increased didactic experience in the field of education. Thanks to implementation of such projects, organisations become more dynamic, flexibly react to youth's needs, they become more modern and receptive to implementing innovative and non-trivial programmes being sort of bridge for niche passions.
