The main theme of the youth exchange was workshops aimed at understanding and researching the question of how local action can directly or indirectly contribute to global well-being.
The topic of the project
Project for young people from foreign countries and of Croatia aims to encourage interaction, cooperation and joint planning of new initiatives, with an emphasis on preventing social exclusion and discrimination. The main focus of the project is the inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities and the promotion of diversity, especially in the context of migration. The project was developed with the active participation of young people, taking into account social conditions in the participating countries. Education within the project will use formal and informal methods, as well as peer learning, to ensure a comprehensive approach to learning and integration.
Intercultural evenings
Project participants from various countries will organize intercultural themed evenings for young people from our region every night, presenting the music, dance, food and culture of their countries. Our young people, in turn, will present Croatia in the same way. These intercultural evenings are extremely important because they allow young people to gain a deeper understanding and respect for different cultures. Also, they encourage friendships and cooperation among participants, destroy prejudices and build bridges between peoples. Through joint activities and the exchange of cultural experiences, young people develop the skills of tolerance and empathy, which contributes to building a more inclusive and connected society. These evenings are not only an opportunity for fun, but also for personal growth and mutual enrichment.
Getting to know Oriovac
Project participants will have the opportunity to briefly meet our place, local people and customs, and will also have a working meeting with the mayor of the municipality and the president of the municipal council in the municipality hall. There, the history, culture, economy, sports and other areas of our municipality and development plans will be presented to young people. Afterwards, young people will be encouraged to have a productive discussion about how municipalities work in their countries. At the end of the socializing, the guests will be taken on a tour of Oriovac and will be shown local sights.
