Dear friends!
I write you to explain a new project that we want to prepare within the youth programme Action 5...
It will be a training course and the title is not clear yet, but it will be more or less: "How to create a funny atmosphere in the exchanges and activities with youngster between 15 and 20 years old"
Activities: What do we want to do? We want to learn techniques to decorate the places where the activities take place. We also want to learn techniques to face-paint but in a professional way (like FX paintings with latex and artificial blood...). We want to learn also about creative cooking, to create funny foods related to the subject of the activity....
This is more or less the idea that we have about the activities... We think that we can choose some themes (Horror, Fantasy) and do all the workshops around them...
And what about the dates? this is the very interesting... We suggest that we do it for the New Year’s Eve time!!! We would like to start the activities the 30th of December (so you should arrive the 29th of December), and we would end the 6th of January (so you would go back home the 7th)
We would also take part in some big activities here in our area the 5th of January (that's the night when the 3 wise men come to every child’s houses and leave presents!)...
To sum up... It would be an eight days training course on techniques about how to create a festive atmosphere when doing activities with youth aged 15-20y.o.
Where? In SPAIN!!!
All the activities will take place in Alaquas. It’s a town with a population of 26000 and 6Km away from Valencia (Spain). It’s not clear yet, but we will be sleeping in the swimming pool building, next to the gym, so you will need your sleeping bag!!! There is no youth hostal in Alaquas, that’s why we will try to sleep there… Anyway, we are not sure yet… we’ll see.
You will have to find a transportation until: Valencia Airport (Manises) There’s only one, so it will be easy… Or if you come by plane until Madrid, then you will have to find a train to Aldaya (or Aldaia both are correct). There are some direct trains Madrid-Aldaia or either Madrid-Valencia (Alaris) and Valencia-Aldaia (10minutes train).
The best… Coming to Valencia by plane… Please, check the low price internet airlines (volareweb.com for example)
Language: This is also another important fact... the training course will be done in Spanish and English, so we suggest that all the participants can speak a little Spanish and of course English.
Participants: We want to meet with youth leaders who are active at the moment, so we want people who are in daily (or weekly) contact with youth or children. We want to meet with other youth workers like us, who want to improve their skills and who don’t feel shy when dressing like a clown or when painting their faces or singing in the street. (There’s no age-limit in this activity) We suggest 2 participants per organisation, not more to avoid the creation of small groups of friends, and to enable the group-relation.
Fees (money, money, money…) Europe will (if they approve this project) give us money for the accommodation and food of the days of the course, so we will care about that… But as you know, Europe also wants cofinanciation in the activities, so the participants must pay 30% of their travel expenses as a way of co-funding the activity. (This is the usual situation)
You will have to pay for your trip in advance, and later, here in Spain, you will get your money back…
Other interesting facts:
During the entire training course we will also focus on the new technologies applications to youth work, and so, we will add a web-cam live in the activities that we do, so that it will also be an ON-LINE training!!!
All the trainers will be carefully chosen to guarantee a high level training course.
We will set a wall to show the others what we do in our organisations, so we suggest that you start collecting fotos and brochures and any nice things that you can bring to show or give to the others.
There will be an intercultural party, so we suggest that you bring some costumes or traditional dressings (if possible) from your country. Also, of course, some food or drink to share with the others.
The 6th of January (in fact it’s the night of the 5th-6th), here in Spain, it’s the biggest day for children… It’s something like 25th December in most countries… It’s the presents day, and everychild gets presents from their parents (theoretically, they come from the 3 wise men). So that, we suggest that you bring a present from your country to be given to other person. It will be a surprise until last day, so we suggest that you don’t bring any food… And about the cost of the present, we suggest something around 10 euros (not more, ok?). You will not know who are you giving your present, so it should be something suitable for everyone… (easy, isn’t it? ;) )
Application If you want to take part in this funny activity, we need these documents from you:
Part III (don’t forget the signature and the stamp of your organisation!!!) o One part III document per organisation will be enough
Letter of interest (explain in one paper of your organisation, the reasons why you want to come and why it’s interesting for your organisation, also write the names of the participants)
We need to know your travel plan (the means of transport and the cities that you will pass). We don’t need the schedule (not for the moment). We also need to know how much will it be and if you can get a paper from a travel agency saying the amount, that would be perfect!!! Consider that the trip will be in december, so it’s still far away… tell the travel agency to write a price a little higher that it is now, to avoid problems with price rise.
Suggestions of activities that you would like to do…
All the documents we need the first by e-mail, then fax (+34 961210731) and then by post (urgent) to:

"Make friends with Music" - Malta
Under Action 3 of the YOUTH program, our youth association got funds last summer to developed a project called "Make friends with Music". This year we would like to find partners to run our local initiative into a networking project.
The main purpose of the initiative was to convey music to young people with fewer opportunities using our young members. The participants where all disabled in some way either physically or mentally.
We would like to forge links with youth organizations working with vulnerably young people so that we can bring this concept to them in their country.
We are looking for interested and motivated young and creative people from all over Europe in order to produce art work and to publish a book.
Our Action 3 – network project has the common theme: "What a crazy world we’re livin’ in!" (the work should concern following topics: life and lifestyles, cultures and customs, specific traditions and different languages, forms of housing, schooling, freetiming, feelings, etc.)
The activities are all web-based. Therefore every participant should have the opportunity to connect to internet. An interactive networking platform will be created where all ideas, works or problems can be displayed, presented and exchanged. Art will be the tool for all the work (literature, photography, drawing, painting etc.)
The project’s main title is "RosesOverRainbow" and the subtitle for the book is "Chinchorro (Hamaton) – Made in Europe" (which can be used as a good symbol to indicate the topic and might be changed too!!)
We hope to find at least 4 participants per country (if possible two male and two female). We are open up to the maximum of 30 people, i.e. 7 or 8 countries.
The participants should be between 16 and 25 years old.
The project’s official working language is ENGLISH. But when writing texts (lyric, prose, short stories, poems etc.) it is dearly important to keep the opportunity to write in ones own language (mother tongue). So we intend to produce the book in all official European languages but translate every peace of work into English!
Please we need the help of everyone, as the deadline is very near to come. So if you yourself don’t like to produce art work but you know somebody who is good at it, any creative friend or relative etc., please tell them about this project and ask them to contact us asap!
Searching for associations that works against social exclusion by the means of culture & art.
So does pulsart : Since 1994 we are involved into many actions against exclusion in ghettos, suburbias, hospitals and jails. People participate to build up something they will be proud of. They Express themselves through creation. And of course they learn some new skills with professionals.
In 2004 we want to develop our actions with the European "Youth Programme". The name of our project is "20.000 Leagues" : it aims to develop artistic & cultural activities of insertion and of professional formations linked to the trades of the performing arts and maritime heritage. We need to get in touch with european structures that have similar aims in order to start a collaboration in the framework of this project.
All contact you can give would be helpful but we almost need links in Roma and Warsaw.

Loksa Youth Media Centre is a group of local Estonian and Russian students acting in the frame of Loksa Open Youth Centre run by a NGO LOKSA.
Activities: making TV broadcasts for local television cable network. LYMC was established in spring 2003. The aim of it was to improve the knowledge and practical skills of local youngsters in the field of telemedia. The practical outcome is bilingual broadcasts about local issues translated via local cable-TV network. In the year 2003 the LYMC started with more ambitious project of TV quiz show between local Estonian and Russian schools, young people.
The idea of the project is to give effect to an international TV quiz show between two or more schools/youth groups from different countries. It can be implemented via Internet in real time.
The participants can be two (or more) youth media groups (as organizing teams) and correspondingly two (or more) competing teams from schools. The aim of the project is intercultural learning by mutual relationship during the process of the preparation and implemetation of the quiz show.
Our preferences in terms of type of project and dates of activites are:
2004 - preparation visits, 2005 - international quiz show.
Each country where a youth group is dealing with telemedia and finds our proposal interesting is welcomed to be a partner.

All you young, active and ambitious citizens in the capitals of European countries, let's join our forces! We want to discover the secrets behind our looks. Clothes, jewellery and hair-cuts can tell a lot about your way of thinking, attitude towards life and your nature.
We are looking for groups of determined young people at the age of 15 to 25.
The point of the project is: - to question young people of different backgrounds (let them fill in applications with different questions about them), - to capture their looks on camera, - then make conclusions within your own country based on the results of the questioning and the filming process, - an exhibition in your own country and then - all the representatives of each capital come together and share the knowledge they have gained during the project.
Finally a brilliant film will be made starring the most interesting people who were involved in the project.
It will last for about half a year or so and we expect the groups working with us to question about 300 youngsters. So the more groups we find from different capitals of European countries the better.
The project will give an overview of how differently youngsters dress, behave and therefore think.
Looking forward to active co-operation. For more information contact us: Britta Gassmann Estonia e-mail:nikitabritta@yahoo.com

“The Borders of Common Diversity”
A multilateral youth exchange to be hosted in the town of Sozopol at Bulgarian seaside, 1-10 October 2004. The participants are young people coming from various EU-countries, accession countries, Russia and Turkey, aged 17-25. The number of participants per organization is yet to be confirmed.
The aim of the project is to go beyond the concept of united Europe and explore the different perceptions of it. Its main objective is the exchange of ideas about the political, geographical and cultural borders of Europe through discussions, interactive games and making of projects in several working groups. These activities will not only lead to the adoption of a common position on where the borders of Europe are, but in doing so, will also explore the similarities and the differences that exist between young people coming from different cultural, historical and social backgrounds. Through this concept of “common diversity” the project envisages to prove that no matter what differences exist in the points of view of young people from different countries, they can peacefully live together in an united Europe.
The activities of the project will include five workshops where people of different background will discuss the borders of Europe in regard to:
1.historical, geographical and political common features; 2.religious, ethnical and traditional similarities; 3.common language and common culture; 4.the European concepts of human rights and civil society ; 5.The global opposition – North-South or rather East –West? Is the term Europe equal to the term European Union?
Apart from discussion, the activities will also include interactive games, elaboration of common positions, interviews with local people, presentations in the open, visits to places of interest in the neighbourhood. All positions will be revised by a plenary of all participants and the ones adopted will be sent to national and foreign media, to governmental structures.
The organizer of this exchange is “Glamorous Future” – a Bulgarian NGO, working in the field of youth and social problems.
The costs are 30% of the travel expenses and a participation of 50 euro. 70% of the travel by cheapest means, board, lodging, activities and transport within the country are provided by the organizers.
The working languages will be English and German (some of the workshops will be held in German).
