I See Myself With Your Eyes
On 21-30 April 2007, together with our partners in Italy – an Association of On-Off and the theater group (CAST) – we organized the youth exchange “I See Myself With Your Eyes”. It was organised in frames of the youth exchange program “Youth in Action”. The exchange took place in Viu in Val di Lanzo near Turin. There were 24 Poles and 21 Italians aged 15-18 participating in it.
The theme of the project was the story of the resistance movement in Italy during World War II in the context of the values underlying the constitution of democratic states of the European Union. During the exchange has been prepared and issued at the end of the theater performance.

Stage II of the project was held in September 2008 in the farm in Badowo (about 50 km from Warsaw). 32 high school students in Caluso near Turin, “Jacek Kuron” school in Warsaw and the technical school in Mszczonow prepared to presentation “After the revolution”. It is a story about the identity of today’s youth as seen from its own perspective. The inspiration for the play was a workshop on the opinions of young people from different places in Europe about the “revolution” of 1968. Director: Wojciech Ziemilski, associate TR Warszawa.
