In the International Youth Exchange "Growing together" young people from Northern Ireland and Germany meet from 01.08.2016-12.08.2016 in Berlin. These 24 young people and their four teamer engage in these 12 days together in Berlin with what people separates from each other, with what connects them and how a divided society can grow together. The political conflicts in the partner country are the occasions of the examination. In Berlin this is actually the Berlin Wall and the political and social division of Germany until 1989. Based on that we ask how we can grow together in Europe and how it is possible to achieve a peaceful coexistence in face of the diversity in politics, religion, culture, origin, etc. This issue has a special relevance in view of the flows of refugees.The program provides workshops with structured discussions and other informal learning opportunities, cultural and social activities and is applied participatory. The program provides a frame in which young people can talk about conflicts and current events in their own country. It allows the finding of a European identity. Together the young people work on a brochure and work out individual topics on this. This result of the exchange can be used for dissemination of other project results.We give interested young people from Northern Ireland and Germany the opportunity to leave the familiar environment, to meet each other in Germany to compare on their different cultural, social and political backgrounds. The aim is to create a culture of dialogue that leads to open and honest discussions and allows to work on a common goal through the participation of all. Young people should come in contact, discover cultural diversity and similarities and so develop a European citizenship. The goal is a reflected, more tolerant handling in European and an approach to prejudices and to individual and social discrimination and their consequences.Content and methods of the project should convey important skills in the areas of communication, leadership of groups, taking responsibility, empathy and teamwork. Resources such as empathy, the understanding of values and norms and reflection of the own origin and European relationships are strengthened and stabilized.
