Our approved project Activity Plan involved running 3 intercultural and environmental youth exchanges called 'Building Walls Breaking Walls' on Cape Clear Island, Ireland in July 2022 & July 2023 and in Kibbutz Lotan in Israel in Octber 2022. The specific objectives for each of the 3 Building Walls Breaking Walls youth exchanges in our approved Activity Plan were as follows:- - To create a safe learning space for a nature experience for 16 young people from 3 different countries. - To educate young people in traditional and ecological handcraft and to repair/build walls as an inter-cultural cooperation project. - To support the inter-cultural learning between young people from the participating European and Middle Eastern countries. - To bring down culture and religion-based stereotypes and fight xenophobia among young people - To create a space of sharing experiences with walls in conflict areas. - To be physically active through outdoor activities. -To participate in the preparation and cooking of food and cleaning of the accommodation. For each of the 3 'Building Walls Breaking Walls' youth exchanges, sixteen young people (part-funded through the Erasmus+ programme) from Ireland, Israel and Palestine (plus four young people from Switzerland who were funded separately by the Swiss government) came together for a residential youth exchange in the Eco Kibbutz Lotan in the Negev desert in Israel for 11 days and in the youth hostel on Cape Clear Island, Ireland for 9 days. The purpose was primarily twofold:- to restore and/or build physical walls which contribute and enhance the local community and its beneficiaries and create environmental and ecological awareness; and to engage in intercultural and interfaith workshops to break down cultural barriers and borders which exist and create greater awareness.
