Project Description
The media are mediation devices invested in local logic and international exchanges; they then produce new conditions for intercultural interaction that challenge us.
Cultural references determine our identity and the way we construct reality, they influence our perception of ourselves, on the way we meet the other and on the modalities of our interaction with the world. The media exert a great influence not only on what we think but also on the the way we act. Globalization is not just an economic and technological process. The increased interaction between peoples, the free flow of information and cultural interdependence are also consequences of this globalization. Communicating across cultural differences is one of the crucial challenges of the contemporary world. The media have therefore a real mediating role to play in encouraging global awareness. However, like our partners, we have observed an evolution in interactions with young people in the workplace youth. In fact, it becomes very complicated to lead sessions without a young person being tempted to take out his cell phone and surf the Internet. In addition, we found that they had new sources of information that they were shared very quickly (e.g. twitter, facebook) and which fed their conversations without always having dug the topic. So we felt the need to use digital as well to make our work more interactive and adapted to the lifestyles of our audiences by drawing on this tool for socialization, creativity and wealth information but also, on the other hand, to enable young people to use it in a critical and informed manner.
Countries involved
France, Latvia, Spain, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Poland, Romania and Turkey
Working language
The working languages of the Training Course will be French and English. A translator and interpreter will be available during the entire duration of the project.
Participation in the Training Course and the workshops
All the participants are expected to participate fully in all activities, unless you are ill. Unauthorized absence from activities and workshops is not permitted.
The workshops are done and run, so that all the participants will be able to share their point of view. We expect you to be very participative and involved in the Youth Exchange and with the subject.
If less than 80% of the program is attended, it will not be possible to be reimbursed for the international travel costs.
The workshops are done by groups, depending on theme of the workshop, the groups can be mixed or not.
We film and photograph all the activities and workshops. These images are for the own use of Coeur d’Afrique et d’Ailleurs association. If you have any problem with it, don’t hesitate to tell us, and we will manage to not film or photograph you.
What to bring with you
For the Training Course, we kindly ask you to prepare in advance these 3 events:
- The presentation of your organization. We demand you to bring clear information about the main activities of your organization, so that you can present it at the organi- zation gallery during the training course.
- The cultural evening. Each country group will have to organize a cultural evening, where you will have to present some elements of your culture, in any way you want (sketch, songs, presentation, game, map, posters, and postcards about your country/re- gion/town…). You can use PowerPoint or any other visual medium for your presenta- tion, you are totally free!
- The international coffee. This event is a special moment of the Training Course, we will discover each country by some gastronomic specialties (food and/or drinks). You are free to do whatever you want. You can cook a traditional meal such as a starter, a main meal, or a dessert, or you can bring some traditional delights.
You also need to bring:
- Laptop
- Personal hygienic kit and towel set
- medicine that you usually take
- Your artistic skills! Any talent that you can share with us, which you definitely will need during creativity workshops.
OTHER INFORMATION
Early arrivals (1 or 2 days before the beginning of the project), or late departures (1 or 2 days after the project) will be the own responsibility of the participants. So all the participants have to be at the Training Course location on the first day morning, and left it on the last day dur- ing the day.
So, if you want to stay few days longer, before or after the Training Course, we will not be able to host you at the Youth Exchange location. So, you will have to find a place to stay at your own, and all your cost during these days will be yours to pay. If you have difficulties with it, contact us, we can give you some information.
