Youth4Com-Cultural Understanding
Start date: May 1, 2016, End date: Nov 30, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

"Ung Kultur i Stubbekøbing" was founded in August 2012 as a result of the exchange VIBES held by cultural community CultHus, but implemented on Stubbekobing school. We saw how important this project was for our young people and our city and we therefore started UKS for the following purposes: "Its aim is to organize local and international cultural projects in Stubbekobing and involve young people from Stubbekobing in cultural projects locally and abroad, thus making Stubbekobing and Guldborgsund Municipality for a more exciting place to live for young people"In UKS we constantly work vigorously to make Stubbekobing for less "peripheral Denmark" and a more attractive place to live and visit in, and in this context, youth exchanges are very important. In addition we are now in the situation that a large group of refugees is to be included in our society. Not that it's a totally unknown task, but the city has not been particularly influenced by other cultures for many years and therefore the project also has tasks to act as a catalyst of creating broader understanding of cultural and social differences to positive influence on the interpersonal perception in a local community. "Youth4Com-Cultural Understanding" will take place in the city of Stubbekoebing, Guldborgsund Municipality, scheduled to be: first youth exchange with 38 participants in July 31rd - August 8th 2016 from Polan, Romania and Denmark, and second youth exchange with the same partners in July 30rd - August 6th 2017. The participants will age 13-17. The program of the exchanges will follow the general methology of Drums for Peace, which offeres creative /artistic workshops as a catalyst for communication and cooperation and by the end of the week they are worked together into a performance, which will be shown as street performances in Stubbekøbing by the Marina as well as at the KulturKlash-festival hosted by CultHus in Nykøbing.We will offer following creative/artistic workshops:Dance, music and cirkus. All workshops had experienced instructors, and they will all worked at Stubbekoebing school.Together with this, there will also be time to explore Stubbekoebing, which is one of the oldest market towns in Denmark (1354), the medieval church (1200), the bronze statue of King Frederik VII (1808-1863) the giver of the Danish Constitution and our beautiful region.We will use following disseminating aspects:- Our Facebook page "Ung Kultur i Stubbekøbing" outside our organization (WEB)- Our Facebook group "Youth4Com i Stubbekøbing" for the project participants (WEB)- We will contact the newspapers of our region (MEDIA)- Leaflets with pictures and statements from the project to be spread in schools and public places where stakeholders may attend (VISIABILITY)- Lecture evening with the Danish group, their friends and family before the project (EVENT)The project-results will also be disseminated on: - www.drumsforpeace-network.org, - www.guldborgsund.dk/da/Borger/Teknik_og_miljoe/Planlaegning_og_Byfornyelse/Stubbekoebing.aspx (the political project in Guldborgsund Municipality on renewing areas in Stubbekoebing) - and the Danish E+ dissemination platform so that other international NGOs will get to know about project and DfP methodology from information published on the websites and dissemination platforms; and basically anyone impacted through this project.We find the longer term benefits to be: - young people who actively take part in the European community with insight into cultural similarities and differences- young people who easier achieves access to Higher Education with their Youthpass- attractive to be young in Stubbekobing - cooperation with local organisations and inhabitants- cooperation with other cultural partners in our municipality- putting Stubbekobing and Guldborgsund municipality on the map, and by that strengthening the interest for growth in the area.- strengthening tolerance and cultural understanding, international networking between young people in relation to education.
