≠ Description
That project is an initiative set up in the framework of European programme “Erasmus +”, Action 1. This project put together 50 young people aged from 18 to 30 years old and coming from Czech Republic, France, England, Bulgaria, Spain, Danmark, Turkey. Group of participant are composed of 7 young people plus 1 leader (can be more than 30 years old).
The exchange is about building an intercultural common project and production in a form of a show, to explore and reveal our reality, culture, diversity, imagination, creativity and collective richness and share it with local population in Cantal and Bouches-du-Rhône, using arts as intercultural tools.
Together we propose to explore with our different influence and experiences of the topic about gender in the broad sens (gender equity, sexual and gender diversity), concept we will need to define together at the beginning of the exchange.
To explore our diversity of view points we propose different artistic workshops which can be led by different countries according to their specialties and know-how: music, singing, dance, theatre, costumes and set design, and more according your propositions. Professional artists will be present during all the exchange to teach and guide participants in each field. All participants will be involved in the creative process to set a final show/performances open to audience how will take the format of a “European Musical”. We propose to set a kind of musical setting on stage idea we will rise together about gender topic using also some extracts from Offenbach operette which focus on our topic.
The artistic workshops will be used to construct a diverse and dynamic fusion of the different cultures and artistic fields expressing cultural diversity and stories, which should take the final form of performances.
It is our wish that each participant should share and gain new skills and stage experience and develop mutual understanding and tolerance. We are looking to bring some benefit to participants and emphasize that the arts are a valuable way to achieve this.
A lot of free, informal time and evening times are set aside for activities with the local population and local associations: party, intercultural evening, games, walks, sports. This time can also be used for participants to propose and realize activities of your initiatives.
≠ Objectives
- To explore the very strong topic of gender relationships. We believe that the discussion on this issue on our time can exist in any aspect. The subject is alive, current and painful or joyful for any of us. We think it would be very interesting for everyone to discuss our vision together and the meaning of the gender concept.
- Promote equality, freedom, fundamental value
- The purpose is to discover each other, culture from different countries, activities, stories, knowledge, experience, points of view, especially using arts as intercultural tools.
- Setting up a common project following our topic, developing mutual understanding, solidarity and tolerance between young people of different countries and culture.
- Permitting each participant to find his own space for expression and develop his personal fulfillment and knowledge.
- Setting up an event all together and sharing it with the local population.
- Learning how to communicate in a multicultural environment, to acquire skills in the artistic field and how to conceive and set up a European project and valorize it in the future
- Building up a new social network

≠ Evaluation and Youthpass
Evaluation times will be organized during and after the project. During the project, we ask you to constitute a group with one person per country (your leader) to get together for feed back and to know each group's feelings. We also have three evaluation times, brainstorming, after each week, to discuss the progress of the project, the activities, the organization, your feelings. It is important to take evaluation seriously because it allows us to improve the project and fix the issues if there is. A part from the meetings, feel free to come to organization staff. Our aim is to welcome you as best as we can, keeping in mind the objectives of the project. To valorize your experience, you will have the opportunities to realize a Youthpass and we will help you in it. Have a look on the website : https://www.youthpass.eu
