The project in detail.

SEMINAR: 2010 YOUNGSTERS
Our heritage – Culture or subculture?

The idea of the project was motivated by the conflicts between different subculture youth-groups in Estonia, for example emos and punkers, skinheads and folkers. The aim of this project is to bring together young people from Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Rumania and Latvia, starting a communication based on subculture themes among youth, their differences and common features. Every country will prepare and present their understandings of the subcultures on the seminar. Workshops will convey elements of different subcultures.
Seminar and workshops give the participants awareness and common understanding of subculture on youth field, or youth-culture as a subculture.
We use British Council’s Future City Game teambuilding and working method, where the international teams are on very different levels.
In the evenings there will take place intercultural concerts with different music-styles (folk, metal, rock, etc). These evenings support the idea of this project.

Participations in this project is 70 young people under the age 29 and 10 youth workers. 
Project will last four days and take place in south part of Estonia, small place near Viljandi called Sammuli in 26.08 – 29.08.2010. www.sammuli.ee
