The project is aimed at young people aged 14 -17 years old, who want to take part and be engaged in a project that gives them greater insight into what other cultures and countries are like. This is something many of these young people would not usually be able to participate in. The project is a cooking and cultural diversity project which takes the concept from a previous successful project we developed last year called "rights to cook". The development from that youth exchange was that young people wanted to learn more about discrimination and it's impact on the world and themselves on the basis of what they see as discrimination and the misconceptions of what is and what isn't discrimination. The cooking was also a great way to learn about each country and was enjoyed by everyone who took part, who all now have cook books that were created by themselves and a designer. One final element that we decided to add to the project was to add sporting activities that are used within each country and develop small games that will help the groups build teamwork, whilst keeping fit and learning new games. this element will include obstacles that are not usually part of the games like tying legs together, needing to pass a ball at least twice before scoring and blindfolds. this will help develop various skills and knowledge that will be linked into other elements of the exchange Each country shall be hosting cultural evenings where they cook and explain about the country they reside in. There will also be a large focus on discrimination and to ensure we provide the correct information we will be using workshops based on theoretical values of several writers as well as using workshops from the Compass to ensure the quality of the workshops, these will be included with other games and activities that will help encourage young people to learn more about human rights and discrimination and the equality it gives.There will be trips that apply to these issues and agenda’s such as a trip to Saint Fagans Museum to look at the history in the area and show how how human rights and development of non discriminatory practices have develop over the years, this will potentially help to show that the young people today have a lot more than they would have had in the past. Throughout the Week their will be design workshops to create a cookbook that the young people will be able to use. This will have a number of basic popular recipes from the countries that are participating and will be made by the young people so they can share the recipes when they are back home. The design of the cookbook and recipes that go in it will be added to the previous cookbook that has been created into a type of fact file for international recipes which will be sent to the previous participants and we will also include the previous recipes so that each country involved will go home with over 30 recipes from 10 countries We will also be holding a final event that all other local young people, press and dignitaries will be able to see what has been done throughout the week and to show the positive work young people have been taking part in. At this event we will also be handing out the youth pass and have small competitions that the young people will take part in and run that will develop the reach of the project and show other young people what has been achieved within the exchange project.
