Up to 50 young people from 6 countries meet in the Harz Mountains to talk and discuss about the global and individual dimensions of development, to get creative and to experience an outstanding new year! Based on the annual theme of the European Union 2015 „The year of development " we want to have a closer look on the meaning of global development on large scale. What are the Millenium Development Goals and what are current developments which we face in and around Europe? But in particular we want to deal with the meaning of development in and for our lives and society - for our self-realization! What and where do we want to develop? What drives us in life and what restrains and handicaps us in reaching our dreams? But it`s not only about talking it`s about our Stories and Creative Art Productions, it`s about “Digital Story Telling”. But what is it? Digital Storytelling combines the tradition of oral storytelling using multimedia computer technology. Stories will be audio- visually associated with images, video clips, animations and drawings - developing a special intensity and power. So based on creative art workshops like creative writing, drawing, photography, animation or film, we will create our own personal stories linked to development in the world or in our dreams and histories. This stories we than want to share with the world and our friends! There will be a lot of different activities in the seminar, like workshop units, team building and outdoor games and off course nice free time activities. The highlight of the youth meeting however will be – of course beneath the global New Year’s evening – the final show where all the results will be presented: Stage off for World Class Stories!
