Objectives

We carried out this project because intolerance is a focal point in every country' s life that increases crime rate, racism, Nazism, hate and so on and so forth. Our project focused on young people of the age of 15-30 years old and gave the youth an opportunity to participate in activities which were illustrating intolerance. They got to know aspects of dance, culture, national identity, social inclusion and lifelong learning in the process of work. We corresponded to their needs by addressing different practices for dealing with intolerance (for instance through dance, Art and music). Throughout the week every participant had the opportunity to exchange experiences and, in doing so, get in touch with different cultures and ways of living. Dance, Art and music were used as a main way of contact and communication between the youngsters. During the program the participants were able to present their culture to others through different specific activities designed and prepared by them before the Exchange. Therefore, we believe that through all of the activities we met the needs of the participants, changed “passiveness in culture” and promote tolerance among young people by making them to recognize dance, Art and music as an important tool of culture and mutual understanding.
