Objectives

Connect with nature, link with life your grandparents lived. The youth we work with regularly, even though their parents and grandparents were routinely in touch with nature and the elements, has turned away from these traditional but daily practices, having adopted the fast paced lifestyle of social media use and of the digitized self, seeing these connections of their elders to nature as primitive, old fashioned and not natural, useful or even essential. We always forget nowadays how important is to learn how to "survive“ without any help of our technological tools, without them we feel most of the time like lost. Our young people must learn again how relevant it is, as well, for their personal development and for the one of their pairs and their society. Moreover by “isolating” them for the “normal world” and motivating them to create their own environment like: their temporary accommodation, cook their own food – they can find inside themselves and realize that they got all the resources necessarily to accomplish such “hard activities” and become really aware of it. Furthermore we believe that the project itself with its aims and goals will be the perfect natural place, where our youngsters can discover the contact in between new cultures and different realities and not least to make true friendships and understand better the others. The objectives for the Youth Exchange are: 1. Provide social tools for participants to learn how to work as a team. 2. Promote experiences that allow to develop a critical vision of consumption. 3. To share ethnographic knowledge of the different national groups. 4. To bring young people closer to a rural environment in balance with nature. 5. Develop survival skills among participants from urban settings. 6. Promote creativity in project development. 7. Improve participants' communication skills.
