The project gathered together 30 participants, between the age of 15 and 25 years, from 6 countries: Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, and Slovakia. The project was organized in the Slovakian town Snina.

The Bulgarian group of 5 people was sent from NGO “Youth development center-Mutual aid”. The topic of the project was European citizenship and what is to be a European citizen.

The organizers also offered the possibilities for the different countries to present their culture, language, and traditions. This took place during the intercultural evenings. The most attractive part of the countries’ .history, culture, etc was presented. During the activities, the participants had the chance to learn more about movies shooting and techniques of doing it, and how to make performance through dance, drama, pictures or a song.

During the workshops, the participants learned through non formal education different ways to make a real performance. Another part if the project was focused on making the performance through planning, video shootings, post productions, promoting the ready product. The result of that was a performance in front of the local school. The other activities were theoretical and practical workshops, presentations, city game, energizers and “ïce breakers”, meetings, discussions, traveling in the region, and visiting a museum of coats.
