The project “Peace begins with Tolerance“ is Youth exchange which will take place in Ruse, Bulgaria 11th of August - 21th of August in 2020. Our aim is to promote tolerance, respect and mutual understanding through artistic expression of cultural, religious, ethnic diversity between youth from different countries. They will be introduced on the following topics: democracy values and mutual understanding; Respect differences, break stereotypes and create network; Participants will work in international team on Performance. They will jointly prepare the scenario for the theater play. (The scenario will be written by participants) Through theater and music, which express traditions and roots of particular region, but also contemporary trends the project aims to raise awareness of young people that “cultural differences” and “inter-cultural dialogue” are not abstract concepts but events in which they participate and benefit from and may use them to develop their local community. Using their own talents, skills and creativity together they need to find a common point between Europe and Non Europe Countries. Traditions of the important moments of the family life (birthday, wedding, mother’s day, independent day, new year etc.) exist in every culture; though the celebrations differ themselves, the need to celebrate these important moments and to share this experience with the rest of the community is something that unites showing common roots of different cultures or nations. The multilingualism of the play is an essential point: actors will use their native language, for their better self-expression and breaking inter-cultural stereotypes. Additionally participants will show the recorded performance back in their home countries to their local community. Our goals are: 1. Cross-cultural learning and dialogue between the participants from different countries, with a view to promoting mutual understanding and tolerance; 2. To increase youngsters ‘knowledge about different culture/history/religion; 3. Development of creativity and involvement of young people in civil life through promoting “Erasmus +” opportunities among them; 4. To unite youngsters from different background, nations, and culture; 5. To learn how to respect each opinion and break stereotypes through conducting of evaluation and discussion with young people from other countries; 6. To promote good neighborly relations between the EU Member and the non-EU States and to provide space for friendship and relationship through art and culture. Youth exchange will help youth to see how much engagement and developing their own interests and creativity beneficial to themselves and communities the live in. Life offers to youth a world of opportunities for activities and fulfillment, to make their own lives more colorful and meaningful, with positive effects not only for them. The project aims to raise confidence of young people from deprived areas to express their own positive ideas and show that there are many interesting ways for the actions.
