"Europe in Your Hands: Arts and Handcrafts for Intercultural Understanding and Employability" (InEUrHands) is a "Youth in Action 1.1 - Youth Exchange" which was set up for 30 young Europeans interested in handcrafts, visual and performing arts (11-21 Sep 2013). Participants came from Romania, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Turkey and belonged to different cultural, ethnic and linguistic backgrounds. The 9-day long exchange aimed to foster participants' personal, social and professional development, stimulating spirit of initiative, creativity, employability and entrepreneurship through the revaluation of arts and traditional handcrafts as well as a common intercultural means of creative expression developing mutual understanding in cultural diversity. The main venue of the project's activities was in Târgu Mureş, County Mureș (Romania), an active cultural and economic center located in the very heart of the historical region of Transylvania, where the hosting organization "A.C.I. Liga Pro Europa" is legally established and has been playing a significant local social and cultural role since 1989. Video edited by Christian Romano
