Home is where… is the fifth Dutch multilateral exchange project as a result of the Stage Europe Network with partners from The Netherlands, Poland, Germany, France, Iceland, Norway and Estonia. Home is where… is a Dutch / German project that involves young people from six European countries creating an intercultural and European experience with pop culture as a tool . They will travel, live and work together for seven days based on the theme: Home is where…. The current situation in Europe concerning refugees and the tensions in society regarding the debate about it, gives us the urge to incorporate the topic into our exchange project. Not in a literal way, but by transforming elements as a dependency, insecurity and humanity to the personal situation of the participants and have them think about the life of a refugee with more empathy. They have to reflect on what they experience and the differences they encounter and create a new song based on this. The type of project is a multilateral youth exchange that allows groups of young people to develop the cooperation and European awareness through creative activity.With this project, we want to encourage creative youngsters to develop their talent, within a European context so experience and knowledge can be shared and exchanged. At the same time we want to raise the question Where is home… to address the current refugees situation in Europe. Talent development and working on the Youthpass competencies are different denominations with the same purpose and result; increasing capabilities of the young participants.The kind of project we want to promote is a peer group education one, because we believe in active participation and sharing knowledge and experience from young people through music. An very dynamic exchange with presentations at existing festivals in Germany and The Netherlands, with collaboration of youngsters in creating theme related outputs, making music, video and photo’s, living and traveling together and raising the question Home is where.. .
