The Cuckoo’s Eggs – Learning Techniques for Solving the Problems of Youth

The main aim of the project was to give youngsters from Yugoslavia and Slovenia the opportunity to learn about other cultures, to practise tolerance and promote the idea of non-violence, and to transcend the many stereotypes and prejudices that derive from the different societies. The youngsters had the chance to express themselves and their problems and to learn about their own different social and cultural backgrounds. They were able to achieve this by working in a stimulating atmosphere in workshops using different methods (“getting to know each other” exercises, communication, dealing with conflicts, team-building, assertiveness skills, expressing feelings, achieving self-confidence and self-respect).
