Twelve Dutch youngsters broaden their horizon in Senegal

Dance theatre project
During the visit to Senegal young performers from ISH organised a dance-theatre project, in which the Dutch and Senegalese young people all took part. This theatre project was one of the main themes of the exchange. All young people come from projects which got financial support of Kinderpostzegels.

Experiences
On the special Hyves, senegalproject.hyves.nl, the young people tell daily about their experiences in the form of small films, pictures and stories. The Dutch youngsters share their experiences with other Dutch young people.

Aim
Kinderpostzegels organised the exchange to provide the young people with inspiration and ideas that they could use from their underprivileged situation to create opportunities for themselves. Young people in the Netherlands solve problems differently from young people in Senegal. Exchanges provide the opportunity to discuss each other’s way of thinking and social environment, and come up with new initiatives.
