Date du début: 11 mai 2015, Date de fin: 10 nov. 2015 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

The Project ?Growers of leisure? is a youth exachange by means of which teenagers between 14 and 16 years old from a rural environment, specifically from Los Yébenes and Orgaz, take in Hungarian teenagers with their same age, in order to build a future around leisure and free time, as well as generate supportive values against racism and xenophobia. The main objective is provide these teenagers with the appropriate tolos to analyse reality and their close problems, search solutions and implement improvementes in their environment. One of the main needs we observe is the lack of participation of the youth in a collective and organized way. Also, the fact that their main leisure activities are related to the consumption of alcohol or other unhealthy and not very rewarding practices. This is the reason why we use leisure as the common thread and we will make the most of the synergy which has appeared between towns of differents countries aorund the leaisure and the future of the youth, in order to create sustainable alternatives in their towns starting from the joint analysis. The main activity comes marked by the comunal living as well as by the elaboration and implementation of leisure activities by the teenagers throughout groups organised around the following topics: - Games and cultural activities. They have organized enterteiment games, cultural quizes, gymkhanas and visits to places of interest. - Sports and travelling. Trying new sports and overvome unkonwn aspects have favour the increase in the pleasure in practicing alternative sports and they have valued these kinds of activities in the nature as something really positive. - Theatre and artistic production. They have carried out different artistic productions such as theatres and videos. Although, we have to bear in mind that the videos are not very good. The results are the following: - Skills: improvement of linguistic, social and emotional skills because they had to face different situations and conflicts which have been solved by means of collective reflection and their skills to face these problems have improved. - Leisure: their leisure grounding has increased because during a week they have experienced different free time activities such as sports, adventure, entertaiment games, journeys, gymkhanas and others. But their habits remain the same. - Values: they have carried out supportive activities, above all related to close coexistence, but not at a external level becausethe activities carried out in this sense have been quite guided. There have not been many initiatives proposed by them in this área. Youngsters feel more tolerant and involved. - Creativity: After thinking about the resuts in this área, we conclude that they can be improved. Youngsters say that they have less shame. More time should be dedicated to this aspect as well as more resources. - Other people: Relatives and other teenagers close to the participants in the exchange have acquired consciousness of the enrichment which the relationship with people from other countries may provide. They have lived other kinds of leisure and have established relationships between the teenagers as they have participated together in the different activities. To sum up, we think that dealing with so many topics in such a short period of time has contributed to high levels of coexistence, participationa and enjoyment, with good results in games, culture and sports, but the results in artistic production can be improved. That is why we reckon that more time should be devoted to this area and emphasize the work on creativity as well as the knowledge of reality and social problems. As a way of continuation, the participants are going to organize activities together with the town youth association and they will take part in the preparation of the trip to Hungary as the second part of the exchange. We have also tried to emphasize the importance of taking part in other local activities such as voluntary service or artistic programs. As a result, many participants have joind the voluntary program of ?mediators? in the high school and it has been proposed the organization of a fórum-play starting from another one which is going to be organized in the town so they can get familiar with the idea
