DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
Youth Exchange “CLEANER PHOTOS” will gather 20 participants from 4 countries in the coast of Alicante a mountain village called Sanet y Negrals.

“CLEANER PHOTOS” is a project that is based on environmental awareness. With this project our aim is to document the environmental problems in a creative way all our world is facing and create awareness using the power of photography.

The activities will be based on the non-formal and informal educational working methods: workshops, courses, excursions, team activities, energizers, discussions, presentations and interviews of participants in the project. The participants will receive some workshops about pinhole photography style that will help them for the next workshops and activities. After that we will have some excursions to the áreas that are suffering from pollution. The task of the participants will be creating some photographic scenes which express the environmental problems and their impacts and will create some photos by using the pinhole technique. At the end of the project, we will make an exhibition with the photos that are taken by the participants.

ACCOMMODATION AND FOOD
The accommodation will be in the volunteers’ house called “Casa Jazmin”. It has three big rooms with bunk beds in each. There are also 3 separate bathrooms and another room with 2 more shower facilites in the house. There is a kitchen and a common room for the volunteers.

Please bring your WINTER SLEEPING BAG. We provide sheets and pillows but no blankets.

Accommodation itself provides basic conditions and the quality of it depend also on cleanliness and contribution of all participants.

There is Wifi in the accommodation but we do not share it with the volunteers as long as it is not essential to increase theteam building and group atmosphere. We encourage all participants to keep the phone usage in minimum.

The food will be organized by teams with the products provided by the leaders. Each day one team will be in charge of cooking and the other team will be cleaning. In this project, we promote vegeterian eating style, thus the food provided will be vegetarian.

LOCATION AND LEISURE
Sanet is a small town in the southwest of Spain close to Dénia (Comunidad de Valencia). It lays in the beautiful countryside, surrounded by hills which are great for hiking - there are a lot of hiking trails to discover. The house is located right in the middle of town, so there are great opportunities to interact and socialize with the locals and to truly experience the Spanish countryside. Furthermore, the volunteers can make excursions to Ondara and El Verger, local towns close to Sanet. The surrounding villages like Benimelli and Ràfol d'Almunia can also be visited. There will also be day trips to the beach which is about 15 minutes by car from Sanet.

INTERCULTURAL EVENING
The intercultural evening is a good way of intercultural learning. In every project, there is one evening when all participants present their country in a relaxed way – making a presentation, watching photos, telling stories, tasting typical dishes, drinks and sweets, dances etc. Please, have this evening in your mind while preparing your luggage to share a piece of your culture with the rest of the volunteers.
