The exchange will then have a positive impact on young people as protagonists and witnesses of experiences and the community since the results will be disseminated by the two associations to their members and community of origin of the participants.

Working language

Working language: English/Italian/Spanish (but it’s also not a problem if you or someone of your group have not a good knowledge of it). The idea is to involve young people, those who had never had a chance to participate in such projects or be abroad. Normally, such kind of people do not speak many foreign languages. But it is important that there are also people in the group who can ensure the translation. Certainly, we will use a lot in our exchange non-verbal communication, and self-expression not only through oral, like music, installation etc. – all what will help young people without any special English knowledge to integrate. Summary of the Project:

TRAVEL AND HOW TO GET TO THE VENUE FROM THE AIRPORT?

170€ from Spain to Italy return tickets.

Our advices: book a cheap flight and you land in Rome. From Rome, take a shuttle bus (type Terravision) and arrive at Termini Station. From Termini Station take the metro to Tiburtina Station and from there a bus to Cosenza. Option: to book your tickets to Lamezia International Airport (SUF). Flying to Lamezia Terme International Airport is also an option but is more far and less connected with public transport to Cosenza. And yet the prices of the shuttle is very expensive. http://www.al-volo.net/ http://www.autolineeromano.com/n/reg/cs_lam.htm. Please this link for a cheap flight: www.volagratis.it
