Evaluation of the ‘Read Me’ youth exchange

During this meeting we had a chance to discuss how was our youth exchange. It seemed to be a long time from the very beginning of it. As on every project there were things which went smooth and things which were problematic. We needed to cooperate as group to have things done.

We have learned a lot about ‘Human library’ method. Our event was succesful. We are sure that after it young citizens of Zamośc got a big knowledge about things they didnt know before ‘from the first’.

We are already making plans for future projects thinking how to use experience wich we got in Zwierzyniec ;-)

Culinary Evening

Culinary evening is a method to discover cultures of all participating countries  through food.

All teams that are involved in this youth exchange project agree to bring food that was discussed in the APV leader meeting previously – cheese, sausages and sweets. Each dish is somehow bound to each countries culture and represents it in a way. 

All teams together arrange the evening event and put together many tables into one to create a big platform for all teams to put their traditional foods and mix them with others. All dishes were mixed. We decided that since the main subject of the project is about stereotypes we wouldn't label and separate the foods into country groups, but instead mix them all together and in case anyone wonders the origin of the food they may ask the participating teams. 

The event was held 26th march, on a Tuesday. Which was the first active day of the exchange and became a good introduction for all teams into the project.

All of our team participants were very excited, to taste other countries different foods and bring a potentially new sensation to our taste buds and show other countries foods  that we brought – traditional Latvian cheese with thyme, pork sausages, rye bread and sweets made from it . 

The event went very smoothly, it involved a lot interaction between teams and everyone in our team was left satisfied.
