Objectives

“Mellowproject for newcomers of international youth work II” is the project which combines 3 activities. One APV and two youth exchanges – one in Germany and one in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The project is follow up of two projects which are improving methodology and cooperation between partner organizations as well as empower youth for self-organizing of youth culture events and one which was focused at urban youth culture directly. This empowerment of youth through the guided learning process and in cooperation of youth centres is one of the main objectives of the project. This is especially important since young people next to empowerment will also have the support of organizations and other peers for practising youth culture activities which in small communities are marginalizing them. The project gathers four partners who work with youth in urban youth culture field, applicant form Germany, partners from Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina and partner from Serbia. Project participants are active in the different sphere of urban youth culture and youth activism. Other objectives which we will address together are focused on intercultural learning, intercultural cooperation and sharing of different experiences in urban youth culture. It is coming as one of the topics at the project which will enhance international cooperation between participants and partner organization and empower young people. Activities will enrich all participants since they will have the possibility to see what youth culture is in other participating countries and especially in the host countries since the project will take place before Creative August event in Banja Luka (it is offering creative possibilities to the young people coming from difficult background and who families are not in condition to go for vacations outside of the city but stays there during the summer holidays) and in the urban youth culture park, Mellowpark www.mellowpark.de which is offering a lot of possibilities to the young people of hosting district and it visitors. Being hosted in cities like Banja Luka and Berlin are is giving excellent impact on participants since youth urban and street culture is very developed and mostly affirmative accepted. There are places where project activities will take place and where participants will be accommodated as well. Both of the venue places are very big (for hosting countries national standard) and are youth-friendly, are covered with areas for a different urban artistic project and with green areas as well. In the case of the project in Berlin, it Mellowpark is as well one of the biggest parks of this type in Europe.
