Eurobackyards 5
Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Jan 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Eurobackyards 5 is a continuation of project which took place during the summer 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 in Bydgoszcz. The theme of the project was a series of meetings cultural - educational and outdoor activities, which will be attended by European volunteers, together with national volunteers. During the active workshops and games with children and young people we promoted a diverse culture of the European Union. Our aim was also to reduce language and cultural barriers, reduce stereotypes associated with foreign cultures, promote active leisure activities, and volunteering in general, especially international one. The task of the volunteers was to prepare and conduct meetings with children and young people on backyards. They worked in groups, with an emphasis on work in pairs preparing presentations on their cultures. Volunteers prepared presentations, games and other activities. They also made use of the computer and be creative by preparing handicraft materials out of paper. The result of the project was prevention of creation of stereotypes about other cultures among children and adolescents from Bydgoszcz, and deepening the knowledge on other cultures. We expect that after the meetings in the backyards children will have greater desire to learn and to know better other cultures, learn languages and learn about the history and structure of the European Union. The youth especially the older ones desired to become social volunteers, whether on national or international level.
