Using the approaches of non-formal learning, intercultural and outdoor experiential learning we would like to understand, what exclusion is and how to overcome it, developing concrete inclusion projects within the EU “Youth in Action” programme – such as youth exchanges, youth initiatives and youth democracy projects at local and international levels. The project will also stimulate a dialogue between eastern and western youth, achieved by discussing the topic of dance and music from ancient Christian, Muslim Spain, medieval Italy as well as from Eastern Europe and Caucasus countries.
