Children exchange

The aim of our project is to solve conflicts in families between childre and parents. This is an outdoor project with changing the kids and expedition in forest

There will be 8 families with children of 14-20 years. In this age there are a lot of conflicts between children and parents, and also between sisters and brothers. After a preparation adn knowing each other period, the families "exchange" their children, and go on an expedition to the forest. Their task is to survive in the forest. They get help from trainers but they shall live in the forest for some days. They will have limited budgets, they can take some animals with them (cow, chicken, hen, goat, etc.) to use their resourses (milk, egg, etc.) but also to take care of them. In this situation the members of families shall work together in harmony. Children will help the parents but will more tolerate their behaviour as they are not thei real parents. However, parents and kids can learn from each other, and can learn how to valuate their own parents. After the expedition evaluation occus with the own family, and at the end with some good conflict management methods in the own families.
