Exchange Life is a play - Play with us!

The project will gather young people from 6 different European countries. For 9 days these young people will have the opportunity to live and work in a completely intercultural environment in another country. We see this multicultural context as very important for the project. This exchange is non-formal education. By discovering new culture and experiencing difference trough theatre, young people will learn about political, social, economical and cultural realities of their neighbours, and, consequently, about their selves. This learning is part of the training to be a good European citizen. One of the aims of this youth exchange is to promote the active citizenship of young participants. It tends to develop young people’s awareness of their place in the society; their rights and obligations; and the possibilities to ways to influence the process of decision-making. When this aim is put into multicultural and European context it is also connected with the sense of European citizenship. We are planning workshops on inter-cultural learning in order to give a rather multicultural dimension of the exchange. Thus, we plan to connect it withRegardless of their national background, the young people at this exchange will be exploring their common passion – theatre; and will be facing the very same challenge – social exclusion of young people. Discrimination of young people is present in every European country and there is everywhere need for working on their social inclusion. Equal opportunities for all young people is certanly a common European value; as well as respecting differences and tolerance. Through the constitution of the participants, and the planned activities, this project surely promotes these values.
