LEITMOTIV: To offer children and adolescents a place where they can feel comfortable, safe and challenged all at the same time.
To give them the opportunity to discover and develop their own strengths and talents. To increase their awareness of their surroundings and environment.
Why on an island far from home? An island is a small complex cosmos; it offers a great variety of activities without being overly distracting. The new, strange environment, a world that may appear far afield and unknown to many children although it is quite close, the confrontation with a completely new situation can erase routine concepts and established patterns of behaviour, thus widening their horizons.
The adventure of the unknown, the experience of embarking on some undertaking on one’s own impulse, bolsters their personalities, gives them strength and allows them to develop a consciousness of themselves, their environment and fellow humans.
The programme, adjusted to the individual participants and their needs, is both supportive and challenging. They will learn to grasp contexts, understand procedures and courses of action, so as to avoid future mistakes.
To open up opportunities for European children and adolescents – to encourage them and show them that it is worth making an effort, committing, to help them become responsible, creative, happy and critically analytic human beings.
Any single individual thus reached and affected would justify such a project.
Everyone should be offered this chance, as everyone will benefit from the experience gained. To pull them from their sometimes depressing everyday lives, to offer this opportunity not just to “privileged” young people, but to all, that is my most important motivation.
