"Storytelling in Action" is a youth exchange mobility project that will take place in Timisoara, Romania from 27th of June to 5th of July 2015 (including the arrival and departure days). The youth exchange project gathers 20 young people and 5 group leaders coming from 5 European countries and organizations: Babel Education, from Romania which is the host organization; Klubs Maja - jaunatne vienotai Eiropai from Latvia; ProAtlântico - Associação Juvenil from Portugal; Klub studentu, rodicu a pratel Cyrilometodejskeho gymnazia v Prostejove from Czech Republic and The Starry Start of Talents Foundation from Bulgaria. The 20 young people participants attending this youth exchange are aged between 15-18 years old and coming from both rural and urban backgrounds. The participants will be willing to work with people coming from different cultural, educational and social environments. The motivated young people taking part in the project will not have a clear vision, purpose and direction in their life as well as not being involved in leading activities in their communities. The aim of the youth exchange is: To empower 20 young people coming from Portugal, Latvia, Czech Republic, Bulgaria and Romania to discover and follow their direction in life. The three objectives are: 1. To stimulate the self-discovery process of 20 young people coming from 5 countries, during the project through self-discovery activities using special instruments and methods. 2. To increase the awareness of 20 young people coming from 5 countries regarding their skills and strengths through non-formal methods of education and especially through Storytelling and Social Educational Animation. 3. To develop a proactive attitude towards community involvement among 20 young people, coming from 5 countries by offering suitable methods, tools and instruments to be active citizens. Throughout the project the young people participants will discover better their passions and experience different non-formal methods of education such as Storytelling, Social Educational Animation, World Cafe, Flash Mob, graphic design, origami, shadow theatre, dancing, drumming that will help them to create and facilitate in multicultural groups 4 workshops of Storytelling in a foster home from Timisoara. After having this strong experience they will create and deliver a Flash Mob in Operei square in order to stimulate also other people to be proactive. They will also facilitate a World Cafe in a centered bookstore, Cartea de Nisip, where they will interact with the youth community of Timisoara, having the topics of Storytelling and stories, proactivity, multiculturalism and passions to discuss. The whole learning process is based on daily reflection and guidance. During the project the young people will be enabled to see their passions as a means of being proactive in their communities. The 20 young people will discover the life skills developed through their passions and will be empowered to take initiative also after the Activity, in the follow-up stage, in their communities to facilitate Storytelling workshops. On a short term, the young people will make a connection between their interests at the moment and the skills they are developing, and on a long term, they will be given a direction in life, not through external influences but by, enabling them, through this pro-active attitude to find the resources in themselves to connect simple passions and games or activities to higher skills that would help them later in life.
