is a Youth Exchange project by YOUTHphoria under Erasmus+ Program of European Union. Explore the world of myths, understand their significance and share the local ones with individuals from different backgrounds. This Youth Exchange is addressed to young people that work in NGO’S, informal groups and youth organizations and are moved to explore the world of myths, understand their significance and
share their local ones with individuals from different backgrounds. This project is based on the ascertainment that modern societies, and much more young people, evaluate incorrectly the significance of traditional myths and tales. They are encountered as disembodied, insubstantial narrations, without any practical utility. Of course, this aspect is not only inaccurate, but it is also far from reality. Myths are the compression and coding of reality, so that it can survive in the long path of humanity. This finding provides a plausible explanation to the fact that, on the one hand the Myths hired a timeless vision, on the other hand that their variations appear in global scope. We are targeting to have 30 participants from 6 partner countries.The language of Youth Exchange is English. In case anyone of the participants cannot deal with the English language, the facilitators and group leaders will immediately assist to resolve the problem. Smaller teams will be formed in a way that everybody can participate actively, regardless their language skills. The basics of our methodologies are active co-operative learning combining experience and theory implementation. This way we will define our methods: learning by games, round-table conference, moderated discussions, learning by doing, interactive work based on advanced preparations, creative workshops. Finally, we will try to eliminate possible conflicts that might take place due to cultural stereotypes of the participants, which will be already prepared by their team leaders. The way we will do it is by working in mixed groups as much as possible. Furthermore, we will organize cultural evenings where participants will have the chance to show different aspects of their country and shake down possible prejudices. This will enhance the acceptance and enforce social inclusion in practice. EC Project Number: 2017-1-EL02-KA105-003058
