“Interculturality Enriches” was a Youth Exchange that took place between the 21st and the 29th of August 2015 in Ezcaray (Spain). Coordinated by Asociación Juvenil ON&OFF (Spain) with the support of Jugendkulturarbeit e.V. (Germany) and Creative Youth (United Kingdom) this initiative involved 37 young people from the mentioned countries in order to work together using theatre as main tool for intercultural understanding and reflection. The main aim of this project funded under the Key Action 1 of the Erasmus+ programme was to provide to young participants a framework to explore different questions related to the main issue of the exchange (interculturality enriches) and to show them the importance of their role as citizens and on the mutual understanding of the European cultures. Using dramatic methodologies and non-formal activities, participants discovered how their cultural differences can become learning opportunities. They explored together those cultural facts that they had in common or are different, and reflected on the stereotypes, labels or prejudices that they could have about the countries involved on the project. Thanks to the use of the “dramatic game”, improvisations, debates or role playing, participants shared their experiences and realized about the different cultural facts of their home countries. According to this, the project achieved a mutual understanding through a common aim: make questions and find the answers together. Besides this, the exchange offered constant interactive activities between the young participants thanks to mixed group tasks, energizers, open air games and other methodologies related to the theatre field. Furthermore, participants had the opportunity of discovering the culture of the partner countries thanks to cultural workshops or different touristic visits. To disseminate the results of the project, participants also implemented at its end a performance that was designed by all of them during the development of the exchange.
