Building a dry stone wall together and overcoming cultural walls in the process
BWBW is a youth exchange between young people from Switzerland, Israel, Palestine and Ireland/Northern Ireland. During one week, they work together on a traditional dry stone wall. At the same time, they experience each other's culture through discussions, outdoor activities and cooking together. The project is about walls between cultures - and how we can overcome them.
Five countries
Ireland, Israel, Northern Ireland, Palestine and Switzerland. Four young adults from each country come together for a project week.
Three religions
Interreligious dialog: Muslims, Jews, Christians and agnostics. You will experience the things that divide religions - and where they can serve as bridges.
Three worlds
Ireland with the ocean, Switzerland and the mountains and Israel in the desert.
