INTERCULTURE YOUTH AT THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD AND THE MUSEUM OF PEACE
|
18 November 2016
It was great to see hundreds of young people and as many parents together in the selections of "Interculture": the historic association that for a half century promotes youth exchanges on the 5 continents.
It was like going from the "thought" - the proposals on young people born from the General Assembly of the Italiana ALF Network (of which "Intecultura" is part) last November 11 - to practical application: severe selections, dreams, parents' concerns but still the awareness that exchanges and the knowledge of other cultures are the great wealth on which to build a better future.
So many feelings, so many emotions that the five floors of the "Museum of Peace" (the Museum of Emotions) found the ideal place with the nomination of the young participants as "Standard Bearers of the United States of the World".
