Summary:
This youth exchange will bring together young people from different
parts of Europe and involve them in a rural lifestyle for a few days.
Most of youngsters today have no idea how to milk a cow or what kind
of procedures are needed with fruit tree, just to give 2 examples.
Associação 5 Elemento believes that this experiencial approach will
allow the participants to understand much better the differences and
similarities between the city and countryside, the importance of each
of these environments and how they depend on each other. While showing
them a different way of living, this project will raise awareness on
the impact (environmental, economical, etc) of our lifestyles in
society.
