Norfolk International Projects was formed in November 2003
with the aim
of working with young people aged 15 to 25 to give them
the opportunity
for cultural youth exchange projects in Norfolk and
abroad.
The exchange this year involved young people from
Norwich's three twin
cities, Rouen, Koblenz and Novi Sad, as well as groups
from Norwich and Croatia.
It was suggested that the group carry out some
environmental work so they were
put in touch with Ken Leggett as the organisers were aware
of the Catton
Park project. So it was that on two boiling hot days
on the 27th and 28th of July,
two groups of volunteers set about clearing scrub and
pathways in Catton Park.
An article in the Norwich advertiser went on to say,
"Those taking part in the
clear-up operation said they were enjoying the work and
their trip to Norwich, and
a range of other activities, including trips to London and
Cambridge. Ivan Kvolik
from Croatia said 'this is my first time in England.
It's very good here; we have
been impressed by the politeness of the people and the
culture and buildings'.
You can view a few images of the youngsters clearing
Catton Park below.
