In small villages in the rural areas of Europe it is important for young
people to get in contact with other parts of Europe. Everywhere exchange
programs are in progress to bring different groups together and exchange
between schools is very popular these days.
The local school in Haukivuori is already active with some schools in
other parts of Europe and art centre Saksala ArtRadius has participate in
some programs during these exchanges.
The art center is interested to develop an artistic component in the
exchanges. Through art, music, theater etc it is possible to build on
collective experiences with the possibility of e.g. a presentation,
performance.
In 2009 a new way of exchange has been started, focused on colleges
which have special art and music programs in their curriculum. Koning Willem
II College - Tilburg - the Netherlands is the first school participating in
this program.
