4.1. The “Tennis without borders” project aims to bring young people from Dresden and Liberec together in an intensive youth exchange over a period of 10 months with 6 courses of 3 days each plus overnight stays and to create sustainable connections across borders for the future. The young people will live directly with the young people's families in Liberec and vice versa. You will be involved in the everyday life of the host families. That means 18 days of intensive and 10 months of continuous youth exchange. Through the sport in the project, the young people very quickly come into very good contact. A relationship is instantly established through playing tennis. The group exercises are designed for cooperation and shared success. This connects and creates space for the exchange of other interests, preferences and hobbies after the training. The focus is on cultural exchange. In addition to tennis units, joint excursions, visits to places of interest, etc. are planned. The tennis training and the cultural program will take place bilingually in Czech and German. The young people are between 11 and 14 years old, because at this age, positive personal impressions lay the foundations for open and tolerant coexistence. The number of participants is deliberately limited to deepen the contacts. The project is the starting point for further unifying measures.
