EUROPEAN MEETING CENTRE - NOWY STAW FOUNDATION
The international exchange of youth is starting on 22nd August 2010 in Nasutowo. Young people from Belarus , Germany , Poland and Ukraine are going to talk about the history of their countries and its impact on the contemporary relationships in Europe.
"Talking about history – a key to understanding" is the title of the international youth exchange which is taking place in Nasutowo (near Lublin) from 22nd to 29th August 2010. The partakers of the exchange are young people from Belarus , Germany , Poland and Ukraine. The subject of the project are expulsions which took place during the Second World War. Young people during the project want to to focus on the events happened 60 years ago, but still alive in the minds of its participants.
The main idea of the exchange is to understand the meaning of the history in the relationships between our countries. Is it a restraint or an essential foundation to build the common future? During the project project's participants will have meetings with many historians and take part in workshops but the main item will be meeting with Children of the Zamość Region – people who managed to survived the expulsions. The final effect of the exchange will be the movie summing up these eight days which will be availabe for all interested after the exchange too. We hope that it will weaken stereotypes that often influence relations between our countries and nations.
