Project idea

The youth exchange “Sharing common values” will take place near Feltre (Italy), a beautiful Renaissance city, next October 2015. The main exchange goals are to share best practices and experiences of all the european voluntary associations involved and identify a common value system. Seven days of activities will give to the participants – coming from different countries - time and tools for reach this main goal, despite their cultural differences. For this purpose we are going to organize participatory workshops based on no formal learning, experiencing the specific methodologies of “brainstorming”, “Théâtre forum” and “World Cafè”, useful to identify together volunteering common values. In order to ensure an effective communication we are going to use artistic methodologies as vehicles for social communication: we will realize four specific artistic workshops (video making and video editing, flash mob, theatre, video telling), useful to share to the civil society volunteering common values. In order to encourage a project dissemination, we are going to realize a city flash mob, a theatrical event and a specific video; participants will be themselves spokesmen of a common message, becoming volunteer peer mentors. The video realized will be spread by each project partner on its web site and social network, after the exchange.

Main activities:
- braintorming

- Théâtre forum
