About the ProjectWith this Euro-meeting we bring together young, motivated people to exchange ideas, opinions and experiences and through this, to create something that will be "alive" forever. We invited young people all over Europe to take part to our youth exchange. In this way the whole Europe is involved to this meeting. The countries who participate were: Greece, Italy, Romania, Spain, France, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, England, Norway, Sweden and Finland. Most of the people are from 16 to 25 years. In all we have 55 young people working together with our Olympic project. Into an artistic atmosphere, we got the chance to meet different cultures and to promote the Olympic Spirit, Sports and Youth. The basic idea was to create a Youth European Web-site through theoretical and practical exchange of knowledge from the youngsters and give them the opportunity to be involved in something so important nowadays and to give them a chance to express themselves. All together we wanted to enrich our neighbourhood, our country and Europe general by creating this small but open-minded web site. The main subject of the youth exchange is the Olympic Games that will take place in Athens in 2004. The participants wrote interviews and took photos from the local people, exchanged ideas and opinions, informed them about the Olympic Games, and all together to take part in this worldwide event. All the youngsters were involved in the workshops. English was the "working" language. The participants were responsible for the graphics, the pictures, the texts, the interviews etc. There were three workshops: One for the technical material, one photo-group and one for the written documents. We also make some cultural activities and visit important places like Acropolis, Olympic Stadium, Plaka etc. |
