Multiculturalism is beautiful!
Start date: Jun 17, 2014, End date: Sep 17, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Project will be carried out in the situation, where globalisation and international connections are having more and more important meaning. At the same time nationalism and prejudices are rising. Our project will answer to those issues by increasing awareness of internationalism and its benefits among young people in Finland and in town of Pori, especially. European volunteers have been giving a huge contribution of work of association Young Pori 2100, which is a hosting organisation. We want to continue this work in benefit of European and local youth in Pori. There will be 4 volunteers from Portugal (2) and Hungary (2). They are willing to work in common benefit of local youth and to gain personal improvement in their skills, professional and language abilities. This will help them to improve their professional careers and personal self-fulfilment in the search for meaning of life. Activities are clear: a) work with refugees to integrate them to local community; b) puppet theatre; c) art clubs. In refugee work there will be arrangements for art and sport clubs, teaching English, meetings and cultural events. Also in the refugee work there will be dissemination of good practices to those municipalities, which will receive refugees. In puppet theatre there will be all kind of activities to prepare puppet theatre shows to children; creating characters and stories, practising shows, et cetera. Art clubs will be arranged for refugee and Finnish kids in local youth houses. Methodology: we shall use our very long experience in carrying out such activities: activities will be organised in close co-operation not only with our activists, but also other activists in local community; other associations, individuals and municipality. As the result there will be less prejudices towards foreigner in local community and local youngsters and children will be happy about possibilities to learn and enjoy the art. Refugees will have a chance to integrate better to local society. Potential longer term benefits will be increased amount of youngsters who will attend the work for more tolerate society and they will also attend cultural work.
