FLASH INTO TRADITION.

There will be ten participants, one from each country, who have previously chosen this project and can exchange ideas in the message board in our web page in Internet before coming.

The object of this workshop is practicing in the art of photography, but not only that: we hope that it will be an opportunity to exchange ideas between youngsters of different environments. The team will visit some places in Chios and also they will cover this multicultural event in their daily life. There will be a message board available in Internet where the youngsters can tried to find a common interest. In case that they have a specified subject inside the offer of Chios (natural landscapes, buildings etc.) the organization will arrange the opportunity to take photographs of it. We hope that this intercultural point of view will enrich the Greek (a different way of seeing their island) as well as the participant who will have the opportunity to discover a new culture. Surely all we learn something from the photographs and we will find surprising points of views of the same and old object, Chios' island, because all lot of new things can be said about this so much photographed island, specially if the photographers in this case are so young and from a lot of different places.

Besides, another interested object will be the youngsters themselves, because it is not something so common this intercultural event where different cultures will shared opinions in an old and small island of the Mediterranean. So the daily life can be covered, being another interesting opportunity to the youngsters to practice their art and express freely their feeling. As the other case, in this case we expect a connection between the old, the island itself, and the young, the youngsters and creators.
