WELCOME TO THE 3 CULTURES CAMP!
The confluence of the Christian, Jewish and Muslim peoples in Medieval Spain offers a prime example of multiculturalism in contrast to the rest of Europe of the day. The cultural exchanges among Christian, Jewish and Muslim shaped the Spanish language, our urban geography, our architecture, our literature and therefore our identity.
Taking into consideration the recent humanitarian crisis of Syria, the terrorist incidents in France and Turkey and other recent events, ASDE Scouts de España considers as something vital importance to make tolerance and coexistence take roots among our young people and children. The beauty of the Mediterranean salty waters should unite all those that live on its shores. It should not be a stage for battles or conflicts, but rather a celebration of diversity and the many rich cultures that surround it.
In this context and under the motto “We, the Euro Mediterranean People”, ASDE Scouts de España will hold the “3 Cultures Camp”, an international camp that ASDE Scouts de España will hold this summer in Spain. During the 8 days that will take the event, 70 Pioneers/Ventures from the Euro-Mediterranean Region will experience an unforgettable camp where tolerance and coexistence will lead all their memories.
To encourage tolerance build and boost a Global citizenship.
The 3 Cultures Scout Camp will be held in English. Participants will be expected to understand and communicate well in English. However, we encourage them to help each other with translation.
(*) Only partner organisations will get financial support. Pioneers/Ventures coming from no partner organization may participate but with no funding assistance.
Please note that the participant fee does not cover any visa or health insurance expenses.
The 3 Cultures Camp will officially starts on Saturday 16th July 2016 at 10:00h with the Open Ceremony and it will end on Saturday 23rd July 16:00h.
It will be hosted at Granada. This city, ancient kingdom where Jewish, Muslims and Christians lived together, rich in culture and in history, will offer participants hiking routes, cultural visits, outing, etc. More information will be provided directly to all the participants when their registration is confirmed.
The 3 Cultures Camp will start on Friday 16th July at 18:00 and finish on Saturday 23rd at 11:00am.
