This exchange program is dedicated to 13 /17 years old young people coming from different counties of a same area: « Le Grand Pic Saint Loup » in France « Monte Latronico » in Italy Active young peoples are naturally coming from youth associations in France and Italy, and will be linked with the leaders of these structures and with 2 EVS italian volunteers welcomed in bouillon cube in 2013 and 2014. One of them will be in France 2014 while second one will be back in Italy This will be very helpfull for mutual understanding and active cultural exchanges building. Exchange program will focus on artistic and cultural practices discovery ( songs and dances , gastronomy, Land Art , Theatre of shadows ...), with the deep cultural crossover / differences through european membership. Activities and planning will be guided by three mains steps in order to increase progressive involvment : the approach phase, rebound phase and restitution phase. This first step will consolidate and confirm youth european actions abilities, actions and links, and will able to build long-lasting working links between “Le Grand Pic Saint Loup” local governance, Bouillon Cube and Basilicata Link, which will lead to the second step in 2015, and then face all future projects with strong european partnerships.
