Cultural Roots – Erasmus+ Youth Exchange
A youth exchange focused on cultural roots, intercultural learning, and building strong connections through non-formal education.
About the Project
The project “Cultural Roots” was an intensive and emotional Erasmus+ youth exchange that brought together young people from different countries through culture, games, teamwork, and shared experiences.
The first day focused on getting to know each other and breaking the ice through interactive activities such as “Human Knot,” “Speed Dating,” role-swapping introductions, and team challenges like “Babel Tower” and “Mission Impossible.” These activities helped participants explore the meaning of culture, cooperation, and communication while building trust and friendships.
The final day delivered a powerful emotional closure – sharing childhood games, working on the final project guide in Canva, writing personal reflections, and symbolically handing over Youthpass certificates through the “Secret Friend” activity. The project ended with deep reflection and a farewell celebration, leaving lasting memories, friendships, and a strong sense of togetherness.
