The main aim of this project is to raise awareness about shared value of diversity, so that to contribute to creating an inclusive society in participating countries. Youth from various countries will come together during the activities of the project to connect over stories. With this youth exchange we would like to continue the practices we have started with organising our first youth exchange in June 2018 Share your story! Youth Exchange was an engaging experience for youth into storytelling and sharing of cultures! in 2019 we have organised "Story Hunting: Theatre as a tool to share values" which was an improved version of the "Share Your Story!". We noticed that many youngsters were keen to share their stories and improve their competences through theatre methods, which were fun and engaging. That's how we've got the idea of the exchanges. There were some dancers and youth musicians involved in the exchange who suggested us to have an other exchange about music and about dance. With this music and dance edition exchange we would like to bring our ideas about sharing cultural diversity through art methods to the next level. This time we will use music and dance to foster sharing, cultural exchange and learning more about the topic of diversity. Music and dance provide a good base for talking about important issues on modern social, cultural and political agenda. Music and dance offer an opportunity to express in a way which is open for interpretation, as well as provides the storytellers with broader tool kit to reach out to their communities. During the youth exchange we would like to encourage youth to dance their stories and express their stories through music, as well as invite wider public to dance the stories together, as well as make music together. The project has the following specific objectives at its core: - Raise awareness about diversity send a message: “celebrate diversity!” With the youth exchanges we want to show that there is nothing shameful about our differences, instead, we can embrace, appreciate and celebrate them! - Develop the competence of cultural awareness and expression through exploring music and dance as key ways to communicate. With this youth exchange we would like to encourage youth to tell their stories and express their authentic selves. Every person has a story to share! - Encourage youth to explore various opportunities that dance and music offer for expression of their own values and values of their communities - Increase the sense of initiative and entrepreneurship through involvement in creation of a public dance performance With this project we aim to enable understanding of different cultures, by appreciating their differences or becoming active members of the inclusive society where there is a respect for human dignity and cultural diversity.
