of the trains timetable because trains from Rome to Benevento are not so

the Bus Terminal close to the station. There you need to buy a ticket for
Benevento with one of the two Bus Companies: Marozzi VT (20) or Caputo
(13.50).
From Termini Train Station you can choose to take a train to Benevento (be sure
of the trains timetable because trains from Rome to Benevento are not so

If you take the bus from Rome to Benevento, you will be directly to the Bus Terminal ofBenevento from which you need to take the EAV Bus towards San Giorgio del Sannio.
Once there, we will come to bring you to the accomodation.

THE BASIC WORKING METHOD AND THE ACTIVITIES
Considering the main themes of this exchange (stimulating a different way of
communicating through art, accenting the cultural differences in order to use the
european awareness in an useful way for mediating) it's important clarifying which one
will be the basic working method associated to the activities in programme.
First of all, peer-to-peer approach will be the basis in order to create a confident
relationship among the participants and the organisational team. Everyone could
suggest something for improving the project and everybody could give input for the
activities and their realization. Then, using both indoor and outdoor activities we want to
reach the goal in order to put the whole group in communication not only with itself but
with the local community as well. In this way, communicating with the local community,discovering where the youth exchange is taking place and developing awareness about
the nature that will surround the participants, we will find the best way to espress
ourselves through art.
Art! Yes!!!
Because art will be the common language, the common passion, the common curiosity of
the participants. It will be used by the participants for learning and for understanding
what the world wants to tell us and what they want to tell. Developing art justthroughout creativity, spontaneousness, games, words, thoughts, glances, moviments of
the body and life experiences sharing will be a way to create a different way to make art
and to build an innovative way to share it. Among the others, the game will be an
important element for creating challenges: gaming is a way to work thanks to the single
participant or a group might lose themselves. The goals of using gaming in this kind of
activities are getting more knowledge and skills to work with groups in the field of youth
and creating situations in which participants will be wrong for undestanding the best
way to find a solution for the problems generated from their mistakes.
For the whole exchange, the recourse to the gymnastics (morning gymnastics are
foreseen for the whole project) will be a way to energize the group in the first hours of
the morning.
In the first part of ARTCOM we will focus our attention on the group and its building. So
that, name games and team building activities in order to start in managing the
participants' wish to stay and to cooperate in the big group. Although there is a string
push towards the team building, we will not forget the person and its awareness and

spontaneity: some activities are in programme for giving to each participant the
opportunity to discover her/himself and start from this point to get in a deep touch with
the all the rest of the group. In this first part of the project, we will be also involved in
four Art Workshop: music, body art and dance, graphic arts and theatre workshops. All
the participants will be involved in each workshop. The aim of these workshops is giving
to the youngsters involved in Art for Communicating the necessary inputs for creating
piece of art that can be used in the final performance.
Between the first and the second part of the project there's an outdoor camp for getting
in touch with the nature and local community. In this camp, beyond a middle evaluation,
the partecipants will have the opportunity to create and partecipate in an outdoor
workshop about communication and art.
The second part of the project will be dedicated to the performances in general and to
the final performance that will take place in Benevento on the 31th of August 2013. So,
beyond some activities that will be arranged for stimulating the creativity and the wish
to do always something more, the participants will have time and space and tools for
creating their performances as well as the equipments for them (participants will create
their necessary equipment for performances throughout a recycling and reusing
workshop).
All along ARTCOM there will be national evening for all the countries involved in the
project as well as an European evening and a local night (managing the national evening
before the arrival in Italy is necessary for undestanding the stuffs needed for it).
This is just a little taste ofART for COMmunicating!!!
We are looking forward to meet you here in Italy...assoon as possible, for enjoying all together a noe way to
make art and to share it.
See you soon!
Greetings,
Associazione Culturale Quinto Elemento
