The primary goals of the project: - Create opportunities for citizens to interact, communicate, and collaborate. - Strengthen understanding of the rich and diverse European cultural heritage, as well as that of participating countries. - Promote inclusion and diversity by encouraging the exchange of experiences from different cultures, generations, and socio-economic backgrounds, emphasizing tolerance and respect. - Raise awareness of the diversity within the EU and develop attitudes that support open dialogue, empathy, and respect, ensuring quality of life for all EU citizens. - Provide local government representatives with a platform to exchange ideas and inspire the development of rural communities. - Foster solidarity among citizens and participating towns as a key value for the harmonious functioning of EU countries. The project's methodology is designed to cater to diverse target groups, engaging participants through experiential and interactive activities that promote cooperation, knowledge development, and physical well-being. The approach incorporates non-formal education methods, including presentations, interactive games, and quizzes, which raise awareness of the EU, fight misinformation, and emphasize the importance of cross-country collaboration. Activities are focuse on physical health through sports (e.g., Nordic walking, petanque), fostering relationships, and building solidarity. Cultural exchange plays a significant role, using sensory experiences like photography exhibitions, music, dance, and gastronomy to deepen cultural understanding. The program also addresses intergenerational engagement by including activities for different age groups and skill levels (film screenings, discussions, and volunteer activities). The project involves countries across Europe, including EU member states (Slovakia, France, Croatia, Hungary) and at least one EU candidate country (Serbia). Project involves 145 international participants and 500 local citizens.
