The Project 'Being Human, My life is my passion' is going to be carried out as a 12 day multilateral youth exchange in Gdansk and Zielona Gora by four youth groups from Portugal, Ireland, Northern Ireland and Poland. Our goal is to discover and show the beauty and the meaning of life, as well as the ability of creative thinking which dwells in each of us. We want to encourage and increase the knowledge of how to make good use of what is already deposited in all humans. Our life is too short to waste it. That is why we want to live life to the full and experience wonderful things. In an intercultural and interdenominational group of 60 we will be able to present that we have the ability to make choices and fulfill our passions regardless of our religious, social or cultural differences and to show that they do not have to divide us but can rather help us broaden our minds and live in diversity. Because we have it, we want to give our passion away and we want to make people who live hopeless and aimless life aware of how beautiful life can be. We also want to show how they can find fulfillment through creative work. The theme part of 'Being Human' gives an opportunity to discuss the influence of tolerance and intolerance on our way of thinking. It also helps us discover the role tolerance carries in the process of European integration and risks to it, should there be a lack of it. Through our workshops, lectures and discussions, experience in culture and history we show that there are no religious, social or cultural barriers when working together, and together we are able to do much more than alone.
