AIMS OF THE PROJECT
Facilitate Intercultural Dialogues:
We want to create a conducive environment for profound intercultural dialogues among young participants. We seek to foster mutual respect, understanding, and an appreciation for the richness of diversity. Through structured discussions and engaging activities, our goal is to equip young individuals with the skills and knowledge required to navigate a multicultural world successfully.
Harness the Power of Traditional Folk Dances:
Our second objective centers around the utilization of traditional folk dances as a powerful tool for promoting inclusion and tolerance. Beyond simply learning these dances, participants will delve into their cultural significance, gaining a deeper understanding of their heritage and that of others. This objective embodies the essence of youth work, offering non-formal education that enhances teamwork, communication, and cultural sensitivity.
Challenge Prejudices and Stereotypes:
The third objective is dedicated to challenging and dismantling prejudices and stereotypes that persist in our societies. Through shared experiences and meaningful cultural exchanges, we aspire to reshape attitudes and perceptions among our participants.
Foster a Shared European Identity:
Our final objective revolves around nurturing a shared European identity among our participants. We believe that this sense of unity transcends national borders and encourages active engagement in shaping the future of Europe.
