PROJECT
FINISHED
The project "Gipfelstürmer" deals, like the name indicates, with the overcome of national and international obstacles. We connect associative terms like respect, attentiveness, appreciation, participation, to broaden minds and much more with this name.Main goals are the inclusion of young people, who have financial and social disadvantage, the inclusion of nations, which are close to the edge of the EU, the participation of refugees, the mutual knowledge of foreign cultures, the support of skills and responsibilities in the world of work or the development of an avtice EU-citizenship, based on the european consciousness.Because of the thoughts, to find new peer-groups and connect different nations with each other, this trilateral youth meeting is the result. Our partner-town in Hungary, Mártély, got another partnership with a town in Romania. So the slogan "Friends will come with friends, to find new friends".Every participant will have the age of 18-25 years. This certain age range brings a certain maturity with itself. Added to this this peer group has grown with the European Union. So they just get to know the cohesion of an united Europe. It will be very interesting, how the youth will see their Europe in the future.The program starts even before the actual meeting. On the one hand there will be a meeting previously. Every participating organization will meet in Germany. On the other hand there will be a short video clip of every organization. The participants will shoot a clip about their organization, home town and formulate greetings in their mother tongue. Because of that the other participants will get an overview about them. So the first contact will be prepared,too.The project orientates itself on two guidelines.The first one is a mix of three workshops, which will take place in the forenoons. Every participant will take part in every workshop. The first workshop is called "Cooking with friends". Here the participants will work in small groups. The goal is, to create three specific national meals on three days (3 nations=3 meals). The second workshop will creat a movie. The participants will work with two professional filmcrews from Germany and Hungary (who will also be a part of the project) together. The third workshop will be a creative one, where the participants will create visions of a prospective Europe. This workshop is added to a similar one we conducted in another youth meeting in 2014. During this workshop the participants will establish an Europass-Lebenslauf. With this curricula vitae we support their skills and responsibilities in the world of work.The four elements will serve for the second guideline. With the element "earth" we will climb a mountain and explore a cave. During "water" we will serve a rafting tour and visit a lake. The element "air" will be a break for the participants and "fire" includes the last evening with a barbecue-party and a torch-hike. This educational adventures will strengthen confidence, raise the coordinative and conditional abilities and starch the group dynamic.The movie, which will be a part of the action, will be used as a advertising media for other EU projects and it will be an important result for the participants, with a high emotional value.After the whole project we will see a big development of the perticipants in different ways. For example a strengthen of their intercultural consciousness, increase of language skills, fortification of self-confidence,... .After all this youth meeting will bring the European youth closer together and will help to create an european consciousness.
