The project is Rückenwind coorporation project with four different countries (Finland, Austria; France and Hungary) sending volunteers to England for short term EVS-project in Cornwall, England. Each partner will coordinate application for two volunteers and will apply for support from their own national agency. The volunteers will be working together over a month to renovate and restore an old turn-of-the- 19th/20th century fishing boat, in a small seaside village in SE Cornwall, England. The boat itself was designed and constructed to accommodate a crew of six and powered by sail and oarsmen. All of the volunteers will be drawn from backgrounds of very restricted opportunity and will come to learn a variety of practical 'shipwright-tipe' skills as well as the softer skills of team playing, tem leadership and cross-cultural communication which will serve them well as they progress through the rest of their lives. The youthpass will be used, not only as a recognition of the volunteer´s non-formal learning outcomes, but also to structure and frame their individual learning plans.The boat itself, a tangible, touchable object, is also a symbol or metaphor of the approach and objectives of this project -a symbol of: - The volunteers´ life journies (e,g their experience of rough conditions/stormy weather through to successful new beginnings) - The boat´s history - having once been a successful fishing vassel, damage through use, disuse and age neans it is now desperately in need of improvement and renovation - The boat - a bridge between history and 21th century environment, a linking across generations.On completion of the restoration, the volunteers will, ceremoniously, take the boat out onto the sea under the direction of an expert fisherman and go fishing. At the end of the project the boat will remain in the community as a resource to be used by future groups of Point Europa EVS volunteers and other community organisations. The 'star gazy' name is taken from a Cornish fish speciality strongly associated with the well-know fishing village of Mousehole.
