Five girls from Chiari – Jessica, Sefora, Martina, Giulia and Shaimaa who are coordinated by the project manager of Youmore Morcelli Giovani Sona Arevshatyan have recently established a study group to develop in next months the European project “Breakfast Cultural Club” which will probably take place in April in Chiari. It is an innovative project of youth exchange already presented to the National Agency of Youth for the 1st of October and waited for the approval. Five youngsters of Chiari have been selected among many participants in transnational mobility projects already implemented from 2014 to today by Eurodesk Chiari but they are also open to the new training initiatives in Europe planned by an educational team of Youmore Morcelli Giovani. “Last year in June – clarified the project manager of Youmore Morcelli Giovani Sona Arevshatyan – I took part in the training course “Partnership Building Activity” in Portugal and our project “Breakfast Cultural Club” represented the first result to develop some initiatives planned and elaborated by young people locally and in cooperation with our European partners. Our group of Chiari planned the realization of this cultural exchange program in April at Youth Center 2000 of Via Tagliata that involves 20 young people aged from 18 to25 years old and six international group leaders from six different countries. In fact, the youngsters from Norway, Great Britain, Portugal, Turkey and Croatia join Italy. Me and girls of Chiari identified the diversity of breakfast and eating habits in different countries as a common point to facilitate the experience exchange between young people.
Breakfast is probably an ideal crossroads of differences and customs not only of food but it also becomes the way to find out other cultures and many local traditions. We started from a simple idea but surely very interesting! Our purpose is not only to identify the various types of breakfast in different countries but it also pays attention to healthy food and the correct approach to the balanced nutrition of young people. We invited also a dietician to introduce and to deepen the nutritional aspects of our initiative. “Breakfast Culture Club” is already active as a Facebook group where twenty-sixparticipants of six different countries are already chatting in English discussing the creation and development of the project. The enthusiasm of five young ladies from Chiari is contagious! Thanks to the foundation of this club where the participants are called to be protagonists of the project we are also testing the effectiveness of the informal method of our program in which young people are not only recipients of the initiatives but they are also involved in their planning. In short we want to open Skype contacts and meetings between groups of six participating nations while in March 2016, a month before the project, some of the registered members will test a preview of our “Breakfast Culture Club” at CG2000 in Chiari.
