The project „ Wonderland” is aimed at youth at the age between 13 and 16 ( 11 people, 10 participants and 1 leader per each out of three countries involved) who are artistically skilled ( acting, vocally etc.). The main scope of interests for the participants are going to be European fairy tales and legends which create common cultural legacy. The key targets of the project: developing the awareness of belonging to the United Europe, gaining the knowledge of European countries and discovering the cultural variety, enhancing cultural self- awareness as well as cultural roots and origins, developing multicultural education , stimulating creativity, sharing common passions and interests with teenagers. The actions are divided into two steps: The first step is a preparatory one (June - August 2014) – it is a preparatory visit of groups’ representatives in Poland to get familiar with each other and to choose three most beautiful and interesting European fairy tales as well as their versions. The choice will be made on the basis of either a discussion or voting on a blog or a Facebook site. Then we are going to create a scenario and prepare a presentation of the most interesting fairy tales from each country involved. The second step – the visit in Poland ( 21 - 27 of September 2014) . During the one week stay the participants in the mornings are going to prepare the decorations and the play in accordance to the previously made scenario. The afternoon and evening meetings – the presentations of each country’s characteristics legends, theme evenings ( “Pure Evils – black characters in fairy tales”, “Magic helpers – fairies, elves, wizards).At the end of the visit, there will be the play – “ The most beautiful fairy tales of Europe” which will be performed on the last but one day of the stay of the participants in Poland. The performance will be followed by a parade during which the city dwellers will be invited for a theatrical performance organized within the project's framework. The photos and short videos will be regularly put on the project’s blog site or on the Facebook site of the project. The leading language will be English. To reach the goals of the project, the efficient communication is necessary so we want to pay special attention to maintain good relations between the participants. At each step of the project, the actions are planned to facilitate those good relations such as socializing between groups, sharing ideas, discussions using the project’s blog and the Facebook site, emails ( during the preparatory step) ; integrating activities, group work, theme evenings, jointly preparation of the final theatrical performance ( during the final step). Such organization of the projects allows participant to take active part in each activity, develop creativity and gaining or enhancing skills. It also allows participant to overcome all the limitations derived from being in a variety of new situations without the knowledge of the language. It also allows students to get familiar with differences in all aspects. The participants will be able to obtain the Youthpass Certificate confirming taking part in the particular activities within the project. We are going to take care of publication the project’s goals and results by preparing the information for the local media as well as preparation of the photographic and video records of the activities. It will create a summary and a starting point for the future cooperation to build an European society.
