8) SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT: Our Association deals with non-formal education, mainly through theatre, dance, music, arts, and creative thinking. Our projects are carried out on both: local and European level. We believe that through creative motion workshops concerning dance
and jugglery, we can find our common space – an environment enabling us to learn collectively from one another about our cultures, traditions and customs. This kind of workshops and discussions apart from raising open-mindedness, plays an influential role in getting rid of stereotypes, and prejudices against particular participants and
countries they represent. What is more, it is a great tool for intercultural education for
learning and deep understanding the beauty of European diversity.
We're planning to end of the project open air flash-mob presentation based on dance and jugglery.
We offer to our partners common work on the project's programme and all the suggestions concerning project's operations in order to make everyone feel like hosts of the project and enjoy being part of it, learning new skills and getting to know other cultures.
