Project: The youth exchange Melting Potes is the continuation of a project begun in 2012. This artistic adventure, which takes place in two parts has already allowed young people from many European countries to come together. Structured around a time of local festivals, these meetings were occasions for intercultural exchanges and promoted cultural diversity through artistic experiences. In 2014, the choice was made to emphasize plastic creation along the theme of early man. The focus will be on folklore surrounding early man and linked to pagan rituals and to early forms of clothing. As the countries of Europe are rich in these traditions, participants will first be asked to share stories of the early humans of their own countries. Working off of the folklore, legends, and traditions of each person, the participants will invent modern rituals, an imaginary collective folklore. In addition to this they will create plastic installations on the theme of traditional figures of early humans to modern humans. These works will be products of everyone's individual input and will be presented during the festival. Throughout this time of exchange, participants will be immersed in an intercultural universe: cultural exchanges, collective life at the welcome center based on multiculturalism, themed parties, etc. The young participants will also take place in every aspect of the organization of the fifth Melting Potes festival, which will finish with a musical, festive party. Leisure activities: Discovery of the region (culturally and environmentally). Accommodation: Participants will be housed in tents in the hamlet of Vaunires. They will take part in the cooking of meals, washing dishes, and general cleaning. Closest Train station: Lus la Croix Haute
