Youth in Action is a EU programme initiated to strenghten and expand cultural knowledge across borders in Europe through humanitarian and artistic work with young people.

To participate in the EVS project it is necessarry to understand and speak English. Most of the information you find will therefore be in English!Our project was a group EVS project including 16 volunteers from 8 EU and partner countries(Finland, Sweden, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Bulgaria and Georgia) as well were taking part 2 long-term volunteers from Poland and France. STELLA POLARIS was both the hosting and coordinating organization. The duration of the project was 1 month starting the 11th of August 2009. The project was a theatre project that resulted in a performance shown at the Midgard Historical Center in Horten 5th and 6th of september 2009. The performance was based on true historical stories presented with dance, song, sircus skills, storytelling, music, stage fighting and recreation of ancient rituals. During the period the volunteers were trained in all these skills as well as bringing their own personal skills and folk culture into the performance. The performances told the story of the dead buried in the famous Borre vikinggraves, their heritage and life. The performance aimed to shed light on how we, Europeans, all share a common history stemming from the same source.

"Att arbeta med en teater som Stella polaris är väldigt annorlunda från andra teatrar. Träningen är väldigt fysisk och handlar mycket om att våga vara helt närvarande och följa sina impulser.Vi fick prova på många olika slags tekniker för att sen dela in oss i grupper efter vad man passade bäst under föreställningen. Vi hade bl.a fäktning med svärd och stavar, jonglering, akrobatik, sång, tygklättring, dans, eldsprutning."
