FuSION<\/a><\/strong>, the project that involved six organizations from Italy<\/strong>, Spain<\/strong>, France<\/strong>, Kenya<\/strong>, Ecuador<\/strong> and India<\/strong> in developing new educational approaches, has concluded. Using nonformal<\/strong> methodologies<\/strong>, those who participated promoted the social<\/strong> inclusion<\/strong> of young people through the enhancement of (inter)cultural heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly before the project closed, each partner conducted the local contest and named the winning<\/strong> group<\/strong>. At that point, the winning groups from each country, together with the organization's staff, youth workers and FuSION leaders, got to meet each other at the International Intercultural Festival<\/strong>, set up for the occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, from March 20 to 23, 36 people from the project partner countries met in Palermo<\/strong>, Italy. The festival turned out to be a successful event. Participants were able to dialogue, get acquainted and learn about each other's culture, traditions and heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those involved took part in heritage treasure hunts<\/strong>, small cultural<\/strong> games<\/strong>, even making presentations<\/strong> about their own country. Finally, an event<\/strong> open<\/strong> to the public<\/strong> was held where the participants' culture and heritage were celebrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the event, groups from each country performed a music and dance show<\/strong>, telling local stories and wearing traditional clothing. It was an extraordinary moment, attended by more than 80 people<\/strong> who showed enthusiasm and enjoyment, even actively taking part in the dances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, the FuSION event proved to be the perfect conclusion to the project: bridges were built between people from different countries<\/strong>, intercultural dialogue was strengthened, and the audience was made aware of issues such as social inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of the project, all the activities<\/strong> carried out and resources developed meant that every person who came into contact with the project understood that it is necessary to preserve our cultural heritage<\/strong>, to know it, to share it, and to value its importance in everyone's lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wish to continue to spread this message. Therefore, we have produced some useful resources that can be used by other people to replicate our extraordinary experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gamification Kit<\/strong> and the Handbook on (inter)cultural heritage education<\/strong> are available on the official FuSION website<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
