Youth Exchange
Traditional Recipes

The Association Civilt 2.0 - Having noticed at local level (both from the competent
administrations and the youth sides) a lack of sensitivity on important topics like the
development of a European Awareness among young people and the Intercultural
Dialog; - Considering those topics as fundamentals in order to contribute all together to
the establishment of a better Europe more sensitive and responsive to our needs; -
Wishing for a transnational and European relationship network reinforcement, in order
to promote the growth and the opening of our territory to the European reality; Has
decided to open itself to a transcultural and European dimension in order to get Youth
closer to Europe and its values through the several opportunities it can offer for their
education and personal growth. We strongly believe that this intercultural exchange
can surely bring new linguistic skills to the participants who will able to manage and
apply their abilities in a more convenient and friendly environment. We would also like
to highlight our decision to achieve our goals through an universal language such as
the Alimentary Traditions present in all European countries. This is made to reach the
participants hearts and minds with the strongest possible impact. We will examine in
depth the different alimentary traditions of each participants country in order to explore
their single important contribute to the social integration and to the cultural comparison.
The whole process will be transposed in a European dimension in which particularly
significant will be the creativity and the active involvement of each participant. To do
so, we take advantage of a well-though strategic partnership in order to promote the
Best Practices Intra-European Exchange. The participants will be chosen through
public announcements which will indicate the project application modalities. Within the
selection stage we will pay a huge attention in order to assure the gender balance and
also to involve people with fewer opportunities (due to economic, social or cultural
obstacles) by identifying who, among them, has never had the chance to take part in
intercultural projects and to experience the so-called European Added Value. The
project E.A.T. - European Alimentation in Travel will last eight days, will take place in
Santa Maria A Vico (in the province of Caserta) and will involve 42 young people
between the ages of 17 and 30 years coming from 6 different European countries: Italy,
Spain, Portugal, Latvia, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Romania. The
scheduled activities go from the individual and group research (which train and prepare
the participant to the exchange activities) to the icebreaking, team building, exchange
and informal and peer-to-peer education activities. Workshops and Taste laboratories
on typical local products will take place together with cultural events and walking tours
arranged to reevaluate the territory Alimentary Traditions. Furthermore a creative
writing workshop is scheduled in order to create a European Recipe Book which will
also include an ad hoc built Index of European Appreciation (Europeadvisor)of the
tasted recipes during the exchange activities. All these mentioned activities are
finalized to acquire a deeper knowledge and awareness of own alimentary tradition and
its psycho-physical benefits as well as the foreign ones. So, each participant will be
able to mature and improve its: organizational skills, talents to work in team and for
objectives, self-respect and its sense of European belonging by elaborating shared
recipes. The applied methodologies will have, as key pedagogical principles, the active
participation and the informal and peer-to-peer education. Then, based on an on-going
learning and improving approach we have planned, within the project activities
development, several moments of brainstorming in which will be possible to monitor the
entire process flow and just in case change its direction. This project will be an
important Window which will allow the participants to discover new realities, deeply
different from their own, and will offer a priceless opportunity of personal growth. About
the local context we hope that thanks to the widespread work of sharing information,
which we have planned in order to divulge all the possible opportunities given by the
Erasmus + Programme and the results of the E.A.T project, it could be possible
although indirectly to take part in this experience and stimulate further reflections on an
Active European Citizenship.
