Welcome to the website dedicated to the INTERNATIONAL VILLAGE project.
 
We are proud to say that this project is unique in its European scale.

This project is an interesting alternative to traditional school trips organised in the participants’ home country where there are students from only that country taking part.

The main idea of the INTERNATIONAL VILLAGE project is:
Participants from different countries meet in a hotel located in Slovakia and stay there for 5 full days. During those 5 days they take part in different activities such as sports, art and intercultural activities as well as language workshops etc.
Through this project they will have a chance to meet their peers from other countries and make new international friendships, get to know them better, the music they listen, the idols they have  etc. It will enable them to get to know the cultures of other nations. The project will also make them more open-minded and tolerant and will show them that they are not much different from their peers from other countries, and that although they speak different languages they are very much alike.

We hope that this project will make them feel like Europeans. We also hope that through being together for those 5 days, sharing and cooperating in different activities, they will overcome all prejudices against other nations or races.

The official language of the INTERNATIONAL VILLAGE project is English, which means that all the activities will be led in English by native speakers from USA, Canada and UK. The participants will be obliged to use that language all the time throughout their stay. It will help them break the barrier of shyness when speaking English what is a great problem for those who learn the language.

The Project is targeted at teenagers from EU countries, aged 14-18, who can speak English well enough to communicate.
