February next year - in that time of a year everything will be covered with snow. Now, imagine stying for a week in idyllic environment in the middle of Pohorje with a group of youngsters from different countries. It is a perfect place to do fun winter games and to learn a lot about environment, surrounded with pristine nature. Assosiation of Maribor students – KMŠ is preparing an interesting, entertaining, informative, winter sports and eco-youth exchange named "Winter is coming- Know the game 2". It will be attended by young people from Bolgaria, Italy, Spain, Czech Republic and Slovenia. In winter, 33 young people from 5 different countries will be enjoying in the snow of idylic Pohorje landscape, fresh air and all the beauty that Slovenian nature has to offer. They will learn about fun sports activities that can be performed in the snowy nature. With "Winther is coming" we want to enrich the awareness of participants and their attitude towards nature with a variety of eco-workshops (LandArt, producing items made from natural materials, ..). Through the workshops they will learn a part of Slovenian culture and on an active way present their own. They will work in mixed groups, since we wish to enhance team collaboration and intercultural cooperation. Particular emphasis will be placed on learning of the participants for active participation in Europe and European citizenship. Most of the activities will be carried out on the Maribor part of Pohorje. During the exchange we will participate in a masquerade carnival in near city Ptuj. Through this exchange we want to learn participants how to spend their free time in an active way, and how to have fun outside in winter months. Assosiation of Maribor students would like to take this opportunity to connect with similar youth organizations, to share with them their views and offer them the opportunity to learn about the beauty of Slovenia and perhaps connect again in the future. We believe that we are preparing a diverse, informative and practical exchange, which will connect all participants of different nationalities, inspite of their different cultures and different social background. Objectives: • To “reconnect” young people to nature and promote their participation to outdoor activities • To raise awareness about today’s’ problem of environmental • To motivate youth for sport and healthy lifestyle • To foster creative thinking and expression through art • To foster the value of intercultural dialogue as a mean of promoting cooperation and collective spirit • To promote the idea of European citizenship • To promote the programme “Youth in Action” as a useful tool for future projects.
