Define me if you can!

What is it?
20 young people from 4 European countries (Greece, France, Lithuania and Romania) meet in Athens within the framework of Action 1.1 of the European programme "Youth in Action" (http://ec.europa.eu/youth/youth-in-action-programme/doc74_en.htm). The youth exchange will take place in the scouts' camp in Ilion, Athens between the 31st of October and the 8th of November 2010.

Organised by the Group for Social Inclusion!
An informal youth group consisted of people of immigrant backgrounds and other people with an active interest in current issues concerning social inclusion, immigration, xenophobia, etc. Our aim is to contribute towards a more culturally fair society, where diversity is not judged, where equality prevails in all sectors of everyday life (work, education, etc).

The programme
This programme was created in the framework of an effort to bring together young Europeans from different backgrounds and with different cultures in order to meet each other, get to know each other's culture and learn from one another. We believe that activities such as these can raise the awareness of the public in such issues and turn their attention to important subjects such as racism, stereotypes and cultural diversity.

The tool we are going to use throughout this effort is non-formal education, such as workshops, interactive games and cultural activities, as well as round table discussions.

On Saturday, November 6th, at 21.30 the participants will present the result of this exchange in the small theatre of the scout camp in Ilion, Athens.

Everybody is invited! Come and meet us!

This youth exchange is implemented in the framework of the Youth in Action programme, Action 1.1
