This Youth Exchange project is based on a transnational cooperation between young people in Greece and Germany with the support of two partners: ECHODRAMA Cultural Group (Greece) and PROJEKT-IL (Germany) and will take place in Athens, Greece. The main reasons behind the participants’ decision to carry out this project are to develop, through peer learning and methods of non-formal education, the following: - the enhancement of the participants’ professional competences, - their awareness of socially relevant topics, - the process of discovering new cultural elements in music and dance, - the strengthening of values like solidarity and friendship. By implementing this project, the participants (dancers and musicians) will explore ways to incorporate traditional elements from the music and dance of other cultures (including immigrants’ and refugees’ cultures in Europe) in contemporary European music and dance. This incorporation will lead to the development of new music and dance creations and activities which will integrate elements from different cultures, including the immigrants’ and refugees’ cultures. Music and dance creations and activities, being borderless by nature and including elements from the immigrants’ and refugees’ cultures, will help them to feel more familiar with the European culture and facilitate their cultural integration. The main needs that the participants are seeking to address through this project are: - the need for cultural integration in Europe, - the need for the promotion of diversity and intercultural dialogue using as a tool the borderless language of the arts of music and dance, - the need to increase their capacities in creating new music and dance pieces incorporating elements from different cultures, including immigrants’ and refugees’ cultures, in European culture, thus facilitating the integration of immigrants and refugees. The objectives of this project are: 1. to enhance peer learning and cooperation between young people and organisations in the youth field, 2. to foster an intercultural dialogue that intends to be an inspiration for learning about diversity issues, 3. to develop the participants’ professional competences, making them competitive in the cultural labour market, 4. to improve the capacities of the participants in developing dance and music creations and activities incorporating elements of other cultures (including elements of the refugees’ and immigrants’ cultures) in European culture, 5. to facilitate the integration of young refugees in Europe by exposing them to dance and music creations and activities which integrate elements from their own cultures in European contemporary culture, 6. to provide respect for cultural diversity, to challenge viewpoints that perpetuate inequality and discrimination and to offer participants the opportunity to identify common values with persons from different countries in spite of their cultural differences.
