Objectives

Our approved project Activity Plan application under the February 2024 deadline for Accredited organisations was to run 1 intercultural and environmental youth exchange called 'Building Walls Breaking Walls' on Cape Clear Island, Ireland in July 2025. The specific objectives for the Building Walls Breaking Walls youth exchange in our approved Activity Plan was as follows:- - To create a safe learning space for a nature experience for young people from 5 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 the youth exchange in Cape Clear Island, Ireland in July 2025, young people (part-funded through the Erasmus+ programme) participated from Ireland, Italy, Palestine and Israel.. Also some Swiss young people participated (funded by the Swiss government). 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.
