How to get to the Accomodation?

=> In Rome there are two airports:

1) Roma Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci

2) Roma Ciampino GB Pastine .

From these two airport you can reach Tiburtina Train Station or Termini Train Station.

From Tiburtina 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

frequent as well as not so cheap) or you can go out of the Train Station and reach

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

frequent as well as not so cheap).

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.

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


9/9

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
