This project is held by a cooperative company which has grown an increasingly experience about Cultural Animation, especially about what is related to the interaction with youngsters living in disadvantaged areas. Being daily in touch with several forms of social discontent led us to concentrate our attention on a specific aspect – often undervalued – about Education: Food, intended as the primary form of “assimilation” of realities and interaction with one's own body, a relation that we constantly explored on stage, in theatres and in our performances. Main purpose of this exchange will be the tearing down of cultural walls, and the formation of critical consciousness. All the activities we are going to propose will then have this greater common divisor intended to socialization and acceptance of diversities, meant to be a resource for Europe. Diversity, seen as best expression of richness, will be in fact the main keystone of this project. For this purpose, all the instruments we are going to use during the activities will be suitable. Our attention will converge mainly towards Food Culture from one hand, its use and abuse and the related instruments needed; from the other hand, towards the need of crossing social and cultural taboos through the artistic performance, meant to reach awareness first and the neutralization then of insecurity. The exchange will take place at Sant'Agata de' Goti, in the province of Benevento, from October, 19th to October, 30th 2016. Ten days (plus two days for the A/R trips) in which 30 youngsters aged between 18 and 25, coming from Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Italy and Romania will have a chance to share and increase key or extra abilities as well as experience in an expressive way new forms of involvement and awareness of their own body, oriented to a psycophysical wellness. Art in any of its forms helps increasing one's own expressing abilities, self-confidence, as well as inclination towards social interaction through which every attendee could creatively strengthen the whole group providing a different point of view, or simply supporting someone's. Methods will be based on the usage of creative and non-formal instruments. During the exchange, several artistic workshops will take place to allow the attendees to take out their own personality in a versatile way. Also, there will be different open-air activities intended to recover a contact with nature and enrich their own cultural baggage connected to it, as well as some trainings in the kitchen, during which attendees will have a chance to approach to different cultures and compare themselves into a group work, putting them directly in contact with the interaction between their own committment and the pleasure coming from it. Final part of this project will be focused on the interaction with the local community to which attendees will show the fruit of their labors. A community that always shows itself as welcoming but never losing its essence. Symbol of this project will be the very well-known Krater of Asteas, picturing the Rape of Europa. It will represent ideally the container of this exchange and the emblem of cultural interaction that since the ancient times it has been being a strong point for our continent.
