The European Happening
Start date: Aug 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2014 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The main theme of the project is " the street arts ". Inspired by old and popular traditions, originally street entertainments were ways for the audience to share moments in the public space, to discover life of their city in a different manner. To give birth to these events, three main activities will be proposed to young people of the exchange : - the workshop of the tales where young people will invent and create one tale about the Europe creation process while using a specific method of writing called " the delicious corpse". - The slam workshop: " the dead poet society", related to the 1989 Peter Weir's film which attempts to perceive the world in a different way and which guides them to a certain awareness, an awakening. The young people will create a slam in music thanks to the method of the Japanese poem " Haiku ". -- the workshop tales where the young people will invent the creation of Europe with the method of the delicious corpse."The European happening" is a bilateral youth project exchange which will gather 24 young people from France and Spain. Our project aims to be unifying . As indicating the "happening" concept, the wish is to make the audience participating in the immediacy of the entertaining show. These types of event reveal the gathering strenght and makes the dynamics revitalized by cultural activities, that for instance can reveal a fundamental need ob being part or member of something coming out, to reach the unity and the common sense of the historical context where the European society is split up. For that purpose, through our project, we propose metaphoric vision imagined by young people, of a Europe built in a federative spirit and with the energy of everyone sharing emotion in the street. - the workshop photo: based upon " the humanist photography " of the XXth century. The young people will go to the street, will take pictures which will represent Europe according to them. For every taken image, they will imagine a story that comes with it. At the end, a photos exhibit will take place. By using these various artistic supports, we wish to go back to this original and interesting experiment with our active non-formal method of learning and with new aquirements of skills and knowledge which will enpower them for being more committed European citizens.
