July 1st to July 21st 2005.

Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Great Britain, New Zealand, Norway and Spain.

The aim of the project is through a creative approach to work with various types of self-expression, non-violent conflict resolution and interaction between different cultures. We want to improve the refugee’s knowledge and understanding of different cultures, creating an environment where their self-confidence can evolve. We want to remove focus from being refugees with different cultural, ethnical and social backgrounds, to explore the creative skills and the energy/optimism of being a team – while still remembering the challenges of the past and present, still keeping it an active part of the project. 

The IPP participants will throughout the project work with their knowledge and understanding of rights and conditions for refugees around the world.

 

The goal of the practical part of the project is to conduct experiential activities for a period of time. This could include activities on non-violent conflict resolution, cultural frustration, non-verbal communication and self-expression while using various creative tools, such as music, cooking, drama, role plays, break-dancing, capoeira, sports and art.
