Objectives

In summer 2024, we collaborated with 42 young people from five different countries to create a website during an 8-day youth exchange. This website featured five short tutorial videos showcasing traditional dances from each partner country. Additionally, it hosted three short videos that promoted intangible heritage, mental and physical well-being through dance, cultural diversity, and social connections, making these resources accessible to people of all age groups online. We launched a digital campaign with the assistance of these young participants, aiming to promote European values, the significance of our cultural heritage, and healthy coping mechanisms for dealing with stress and insecurity. Through this campaign, we aspired to reach 2,000 people across Europe, with the goal of preserving traditional dances and advocating for mental and physical health improvement. The campaign was linked to the #dancewithme hashtag, enhancing the project's visibility and encouraging broader participation. Our efforts were focused on raising awareness among young people about the vital connection between mental health and traditional dances. We also aimed to highlight the importance of intangible cultural heritage, cultural diversity, and unity. Through these initiatives, we sought to foster a deeper appreciation for cultural traditions while promoting overall well-being. O1: Together with 42 young people from 5 different countries, we aim to create a website during an 8-day youth exchange in 2024, on which 5 short tutorial videos of traditional dances per partner countries; and 3 short videos promoting intangible heritage, mental and physical well-being through dance, cultural diversity and social connections, will be reachable for all age group on the internet. O2: To start a digital campaign with the help of young people, that aims to promote European values, the importance of our cultural heritage, healthy coping mechanisms with stressful and insecurity situations in life. With this campaign we wish to reach 2000 people all around Europe to help prevent the fading of traditional dances and help promote healthy ways to increase mental and physical health. The digital campaign will be connected to the #dancewithme hashtag, in order to gain visibility for the project. O3: To raise awareness of the importance of mental health and the connection to traditional dances, as well as raising awareness of intangible cultural heritage, cultural diversity and unity, among young people.
