DURATION

8 days, 7 nights

PARTICIPANTS

3 countries. 11 people per country ( 10 + the group leader)

PROGRAMME:

Sharing roots, sharing traditions

When we think about a foreign country, the first image that comes up in our mind, it is the countrie´s capital, a famous monument or a well- know city. We look there for the typical gastronomy or a traditional spectacle without realising that most part o the cultural roots come from the villages.

Villages and little towns are the most forgotten in the tourist guides but nevertheless they are the ones who hold the most incredible traditions (such as the carnival in Verín), the best cuisine and an enormous cultural patrimony.

The goal of this project is double: On one hand we want to promote the importance of the villages as a guardian of the culture and folklore. On the other hand, we would like to give the opportunity of visiting a new country to people from rural areas meanwhile they share they experience with other young people from a host village.
