Objectives

The aim of this multilateral exchange was to bring together young people from different countires, with different family and educational backgrounds in order to get to know something about each personal cultural roots or to be able to look at themselves from another point of view. The know how of cultural similarities and differences gives the young people the opportunity to face the challenges of their lives in a better way. Another aim During the prepartion of the project it was clear to meet and communicate with everybody on eye level and to convey learning content in such a way that a transfer into everyday's life is possible. In order to face the war situation in Ukraine it was our aim to strengthen the young participants from crisis and war zones mentally and also to give them the chance of having a good time together with other young people. The Georgian participants also need this mental support because most of them come from the crisis zones in Abchasia and South Ossetia. In the last years young people's living situations are characterized by climate change, political crises and wars, economical uncertainty, a pandemic and related to this for many of them a lack of perspective for their future and mental health problems. In our exchange project we wanted to face exactly those crises and discuss them. With the diversity of pedagogical and didactiv methods such as experimental indoor and outdoor activities it was possible to give the participants a platform to broaden their perspective and to discuss new possible solutions. One of the main aims was the ability to recognize that it will be only possible to find a good solution strategy together if we want to overcome the crises which we face as mankind. Humor was one of our methods because it's known that it is essential to work with such heavy topics in a positive way. And the young participants should have a good time together as well. With the high quality of professionalism and cooperation of the organizers and leaders it was possible to create a balnce between seriousness and fun during the exchange. Everybody felt comfortoable during the project.
