Project: This project aims at rallying young people coming from Estonia, Czech Republic and France around sustainable development issues. During a fortnight people will discuss the practice of recycling. The project will base on artistic creation in order to give things and objects a new Karma. Art is a good way to consider and illustrate the impact of our ideas on change. With the intention to promote and support the independance of the volunteers, they will have to manage their daily life in a group. Communication and exchanges concerning daily domestic tasks (cooking, cleaning, activities, ..) will be the basis of interculturality in this project. In the context of a non-formal and social education, the doing/working together is an essential resource for organizing such meeting. Volunteers will alternatively involve in workshop and manual activities, as well as in activities related to intercultural communication and exchanges. Debates and free time will be organized so that volunteers could discover and experience the local culture and think about otherness. Worshops permit volunteers, local community share their know-how and everyone will be able to come back home with food for thought.
