Our Country, Our City, Our Community

We would like to compare and contrast our communities and how can we improve them. Let’s work and learn together and share our knowledge as youth workers.

We want to learn about different cultures and traditions
We want to challenge stereotypes as Ours is a Ginger headed, haggis hunting, negative one when we have much more to offer and I’m sure your country has too.
We are a fun filled creative bunch and will create and assist in workshops with various methods such as Drama, Art, Games and discussions on issues our young people face.

Project overview

Our Country, Our City, Our Community is a project by
Castlemilk Youth Complex
taking place
from 2017 till 2018
This project relates to:
Youth Exchanges, Training and Networking
and is focusing on:
  • Drama and theatre
  • Leadership
  • Non-formal learning
  • Volunteering
This project can include young people with fewer opportunities like
  • Social obstacles
  • Economic obstacles
For the exchange our group will consist of 13 young people, 10 girls and 3 boys between ages 16-21 years old and 3 lead workers. We would like to work with a similar age group. All of our participants have an interest in youth work and currently volunteer or work in the field of community work. The group would like to build on their experiences and understandings of the world that they can take back to their home and share their findings. Our main aim is to learn from each other’s cultures and share information on how we both deal with youth work issues. Headline Aim - "Creating a better future by inspiring young people to recognise, raise and achieve their aspirations."
