Meeting Point!

The Youth Exchange “Meeting Point!” aims to provide a safe space to explore different cultures and establish an effective intercultural dialogue between its participants, as well as explore the connection between the lack of intercultural understanding and the raise of stereotypes, prejudices and discrimination. Also creative workshops inthe afternoon in order to create outcomes (theatre, video, photo, music) will be held during the afternoons.In a structured programme based in non-formal education methods, participants will explore new cultures and understand their different elements: how it is built, which different layers it has or how to overcome the ethnocentric approach when meeting new cultures. Participants will also reflect on which spheres they can find discrimination and how it is related to culture (gender, ethnicity, religion, age) and the different forms of discrimination (physical, economical, social, psychological).The objectives of the Youth Exchange are:• To create a safe space to explore other cultures and generate an effective intercultural dialogue;• To deepen into the understanding of culture and its different manifestations;• To understand and develop the common values of different cultures that lay behind the forms of externalization;• To realize about the connections between prejudices, discrimination and the role of intercultural dialogue to overcome them;• To provide space for creativity connected to the intercultural dialogue ideas and discoveries of the participants;• To create local actions to disseminate and share their learning and own experiences as well as the website with their communities on return home;The Youth Exchange will take place in Kobuleti, Georgia, from 18th to 28th June 2014 and will gather 30 participants and 6 Group Leaders from Georgia, Belarus, Moldova, Germany, Croatia and Lithuania.
