9th WESTIVAL edition is coming up soon
Richter has received from the European Union a grant for organising our traditional multilateral youth exchange. With organising this exchange we want to bring young people together and to make them aware of the many possibilities on a national and international level. We also would like to improve international relations between youths and to let them explore and create an understanding of each other’s cultures. We as a foundation would like to reach this goal and many other aims through “North East Westival”.
This festival will be organized for the nine times in Den Helder from 21 till 30 July 2008. Through this festival we hope to give participants an insight in the world and lives of youths from other countries, cultures and backgrounds. We want to accomplish this through; discussions, social games and different workshops in the field of arts and cultural.
A total of 50 youngsters from Spain. Estonia, Greece, Italy, Lithuania and the Netherlands will participate in this festival. And during the week they will be active in the different workshops, lead by international professional workshop leader and the participant will be working on a group project in small groups. Every participant has the freedom to choose between a workshop dance, improvisation theatre, art installation and music.
