The project prepared by Foundation "EUROPEAN YOUTH MEET THE

young people from
Poland, Estonia, Romania, Italy, Hungary and Portugal - 42
people in total. The main
objective of the exchange is to deep cooperation and
understanding between young
people from different countries, by knowing the culture of the
people from the
countries participating in the exchange, their national
languages, traditions, history,
customs, national and realities of everyday life in the
countries where they come from.
For 8 days the participants will have an opportunity to meet
their peers from other

countries of their peers, to refute the stereotypes and
prejudices, and promote
tolerance towards others. During the exchange the youth will
participate in a variety of
activities which will help them in free exchange of opinions.
Issues of cultural heritage ineach country and across the Europe
will be a tool which we will use to achieve the
primary objective. During the exchange there will be organised
the workshops, lectures,
presentations, games, sport activities, panel discussions, film
screening, tours and
meetings with the local community. During the stay in Krakow
young people will try
together - using the achievements of art and literature - to
promote tolerance and fight
stereotypes . At the same time there will be organised the
workshops in the purpose of
breaking down social and cultural barriers. The project will
result in the promotion of
culture, art and literary constituting a joint cultural
heritage. Presentation of the

Preparation
Remember that each national group has to prepare:
- group presentation (who you are, where you are from, what you
do, something about
your organization)
- national evening (traditional food, drinks; some customs from
your country). Due to
the variety of countries participating in the project most
probably there will be two
countries presenting their country and culture each evening.
IMPORTANT:
- Take some warm clothes, waterproof jacket, proper shoes.Cracow
is located near the
mountains. In the mountains winter is colder than in other parts
of Poland. It may be
cold, slippery and rainy/snowy. Be prepared.
