During 12th – 17th August 2010 Baribal organisation (CZ) hosted a youth exchange called “Woman among Women”. The main topic of the project was a WOMAN and the main aim was to share each other’s knowledge and experience.
Orgnisers have prepared various activities where the level of English was not important, because they did what is natural for all women – danced under the guidance of experienced lecturers and taught each other a typical dance from every country, created jewellery made of typical or less typical materials, spent afternoons in the countryside, created land art, learned how to use local herbs, relax and got to know each other. In the evening they had varying discussions in which they could share experiences, sung by the fire and developed a deeper cognition of the other participants.
