Active Ideas - Youth Exchanges

YE - The white rabbit lair

"The white rabbit lair " will take place in Italy. There will be 25 participants from 5 different countries. Each group will be composed by 4 young people aged between 16 and 25 years old and a leader with no age limit.

Our project aims at raising young people's awareness and mobilization around environmental challenges in order to encourage the development of "green" skills and behaviors among young people and youth workers and their commitment to a more suitable growth.

The project has being inspired by “ Alice in wonderland ”and its core is to discover what is inside the lair.

We will dive with the youth in the white rabbit lair in order to find a creative and innovative active way to face the challenges of life. We want the participants to develop new skills in order to find solutions for a world that is seeking green- initiatives.

By reviewing the tale 's symbolism we will “relive” Alice' s path in wonderland . We will discover with the youth what it means to live in a world where everything is connected as in our society and environment.

The main activities will be inspired by key points of the tale.

We will pretend to eat Alice in wonderland's mushrooms to get smaller and bigger to observe the world from different perspectives.

We want to celebrate “no birthdays parties” to recognize values that in our society are discouraged such as diversity and altruism.

We encourage the youth on thinking about their “white rabbits” . Who\what in their lives is supporting them on keeping the right track.

We will examine what in our lives can be compared with the “Red heart Queen”, which stands for egoism and the “White Queen”, which stands for altruism.

The red line of the project will be the design and the construction of a creation, such as a herb garden, compost toilet and clay oven that we will build up daily with local and natural materials. Through this activity we want the youth to adopt a cooperative way of working together.

The project methodology is designed in order to have a good balance between theory, practical work, valuable social moments and introspective one.

We are thrilled to invite you to take part in this project.

В началото на септември 2012 младежка група „Активни Идеи” се завърна от международен Екологичен младежки обмен в Италия. В рамките на седем дни младежите от Хасково успяха да се насладят на красивата природа на прочутата провинция Тоскана. Често наричат Тоскана градината на Италия, а Флоренция - най-прекрасното й цвете.
По време на проекта участниците се запознаха с различни методи за рециклиране, реставриране на антични стени, импровизационен театър, приготвяне на екологична храна от домашно произведени продукти, приготвяне на екологичен хляб без мая, както и италианска пица на пещ. Програмата беше разнообразена с походи из природата в красивите планини Апенините.

Преди обмена участниците имаха възможност да се разходят из достолепна Флоренция, която често наричат люлката на Ренесанса или душата на Италия.

В обмена взеха участие също младежи от Испания, Унгария, Италия и Румъния. Испанците бяха от Канарските острови, така че ще очакваме продължението на обмена да бъде на Канарските острови :)

Младежкият обмен беше финансиран от програма „Младежта в действие” на Европейския съюз.
