PROJECT CONTEXT
Know… Touch… See… Taste… European Cultural Heritage (K.N.O.W.is about raising awareness among youth workers about our common history and values, mutually understanding our different perspectives and reinforcing the sense of belonging to the European family we live in. Our European cultural heritage is actually the result of the joint contributions of many different cultures. This European heritage has been built over a long period of time filtered from the past.
The training course will promote intercultural understanding among the participants and support diversity in Europe as a resource culturally, historically and economically. Through the various events, participants will realize the need for a common Europe and to use a common language to facilitate communication.

This training course is targeted at youth workers and youth leaders (active members of organizations, communities who work with young people & are involved in activities carried out by sending organizations).

It is not a must to be a full active member of the sending organization as the youth workers may come from the community youth centers or local schools & institutions of partner organizations.

INTERCULTURAL EVENING
During a special evening, we will share characteristics from our culture. We ask you to bring foods and alcoholic/non-alcoholic drinks and magnets to share! You can also think of some other things to share with the group from your culture: stories, dances/songs, etc. Please do not make only PowerPoint presentations or country promotion videos, as it would be best if you can share something in your own words and with physical examples if you can. By the way, presenting something from your culture does not mean it has to be something about only the country itself: it can also be from a specific region or a city, etc. As we are trying to collect special and different magnets from each city and country to make an international wall we would like to have one magnet from your hometown as well. We would like to see your impact on our organization to remember you through your magnet.
