With the present challenges in Europe with the immigration crisis, intolerance and racial discrimination in Europe has drastically increased. The exchange aims to identify the common causes of intolerance and analyze persisting cases of non-tolerance on the basis of culture, religion, gender, sexual orientation and race against various minorities, formulate good practices in order to reduce it, as well as strategies, which could help increase tolerance toward minorities in the participant countries and beyond. The specific objectives of this project are: - To increase awareness among young people from a minority background (cultural, ethnic, etc.) on European citizenship; - To empower youth to take an active role in local communities; - To bring together young people from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds; - To create space for dialogue; - To foster their feeling of sharing common values; - To raise their sense of belonging to Europe.

Its population (2011) is 566, and it is situated on the Numedalslågen river, approximately 46 kilometres (29 mi) north of urban Larvik and 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) south of Hvittingfoss in kongsberg municipality. Svarstad Church was built in 1657 and is located here. Svarstad ski center was a popular attraction for both children and adults and operated 8 ski slopes. But Svarstad Skisenter didn't do very well and became bankrupt and therefore had to close at the start of winter, 2015. Holemyra is a fairly sizable forested area located in the midst of Svarstad, and this is also a popular picnic and hiking area with residents. Note: Organisers will not provide any accommodation for additional stay in Svarstad. If participants plan to arrive a few days earlier or depart a few days later they are kindly requested to inform us and we will be glad to offer assistance with booking a hotel. .
