“Crea-Acción” – creativ action with Euromed youth exchanges

Intercultural life is an association active in the field of non-formal education. With our projects and seminars we offer a frame for creative and permanent learning experiences, which allow the participants to develop their abilities of interaction, reflexion and social action. We want to foster key competences which are important for the life in a modern globalized word such as intercultural competence, communication skills and critical thinking.

We promote:
• Intercultural learning
• Participation and democratic citizenship
• Tolerance and respect
• Gender justice
• Integration of marginal groups (ethnic minorities, migrants, young people with fewer opportunities, persons with a disability etc.)
• Environmental awarenes
• Learning of new social key competences

Our main target groups are young people and other social groups with fewer opportunities, as well as social workers, youth workers and teachers. We are cooperating with schools, centers for vocational training, NGOs and public bodies.

We offer seminars, trainings and workshops on a local and international level, coaching for youth initiatives, youth exchanges, networking projects, as well as consulting services in european youthwork. We are coordinating, receiving and sending organisation with the European Voluntary Service.

Methodology
Our work is based on the principles of active education, an educational approach which defines the individual as the actor of its own educational process. Our methods facilitate cooperation and participation and offer opportunities to discover other social and cultural realities, to act, to communicate, to reflect and thus to learn. The learning process unites the cognitive, the affective and the action-oriented levels.

In our activities we use creative methods as video, photo, theatre and music.
