Objectives

The project # DANCE_I LIKE IT! was initiated by young people from Poland, the Czech Republic and Georgia gathered around folk and folklore dance groups. Observations made during participation in the 9th International Festival of Youth Creativity FOLK INSPIRATIONS led to the idea of the project. During rehearsals, informal meetings and observation of mutual presentations, the youth noticed that the way of expressing certain emotions, dynamics, themes through dance is characteristic of a particular country and that dancers use interesting techniques and means of expression. Young people decided to create a cultural and artistic project in order to understand, feel emotions and improve their skills. This project is to allow them to explore cultural nuances and promote the most beautiful phenomena of common cultural heritage in a modern way through cooperation and exchange of good practices. 34 young people from Poland, the Czech Republic and Georgia will participate in the project and the activities will take place in the Lower Silesian Voivodship –Podgórze region. The main aim of the project is to establish intercultural dialogue through active cooperation, mutual acceptance and communication. Objectives: 1. Increasing the knowledge of the history, culture, traditions of Poland, the Czech Republic and Georgia. 2. Strengthening the attitude of tolerance and openness towards representatives of other cultures while respecting cultural diversity, discerning positive values resulting from differences, overcoming language barriers. 3. Shaping civic attitudes among participants by means of involvement in voluntary activities for the cultural revival of the local community. 4. Developing responsibility, teamwork and project skills, innovation, entrepreneurship, creativity, independence and self-confidence by means of active participation in the preparation of project elements and their implementation.
