Objectives

Capoeira is a afro-brazilian cultural expression that mixes martial art, sport, popular culture, dance and music, developed by african slaves in Brazil during the XVI century as a survival tool, but also as an artistic expression. That's why Capoeira is more than a physical activity, being a symbol of black emancipation. It is part of UNESCO Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The youth exchange "Citizenship Through Capoeira" wants to be a different and emancipating project, to promote the European values of inclusion, tolerance, multicultural dialogue and citizenship through Capoeira.
