a free into rail take you. to french artists paint with empty beer bottles. and drink jam exploring the beautiful islands local food. first up we showcase one of the best and most affordable ways to travel across the continent into rail passes are railway tickets that give the holder unlimited travel across european countries this summer fifteen thousand passes were given out for free to eighteen year olds across europe that's all thanks to two berlin as who successfully campaigned to make their dream a reality or rather the dreams of travel hungry teens we've been keeping up with the journey of a young scot and met him in the czech republic where he is exploring the capital city prague.

traveling to prague by train. student aid and gets in from edinburgh has embarked on an intra led venture cross europe. he's fascinated by prague stunning old town and of course no visit to the czech capital is complete without seeing the famous fourteenth century charles bridge. even says some things remind him of his native edinburgh. a lot of street music artists a lot of and so on. but i think prague is. it's very different i think actually nicer than i expected i think yeah the buildings are really amazing when you see it with your own eyes so very i think it's worse to come because it's lighter in person. just in trail take it has been paid for by the european

union. after eighteen proposed to travel routes unsuccessfully and city you're a cause a jury picked him along with fourteen thousand nine hundred ninety nine other lucky eighteen year olds from the e.u. to embark on this unique trip through europe a journey with a mission. will be ambassadors of this program hopefully it's going to run for many years because i think it's good it's positive change and i'll be sure in my experiences through social media and. probably not giving talks but i can also do that if i want to. that's pretty much it i will be an ambassador for. the free interest program is the idea of martin spear and vincent him on the hill who lobbied brussels to introduce a travel program for young europeans. the interim take it itself has been around since one thousand nine hundred seventy two. vincent a man would have been a free travel across the continent can help youngsters overcome stereotypes about

the european neighbors. that's what the two of them experienced when they themselves went on and interact and share years ago. experienced great hospitality we were invited to people's homes for dinner in cities we were visiting at the time. some would even let others know we were coming to the city a lot of those work he moments for us all the new connections those new friendships that we struck up to us that really felt like europe. have a place we got a whole new perspective on europe and truly understand that europe is not so much about its laws or politics but about the diversity of its people. many of the lucky fifteen thousand teens are sharing their travel experiences on social media describing their encounters with the europeans but does this actually help forge a sense of european identity. critics point out that it does little good if all

these young travelers do is part of a nicer way. atum gibson for his past that's valid to spend time exploring the history of the countries he visits in prague museum of communism and its environs about the emergence of the former czechoslovakia and its times to the soviet union. he's one aware that after breaks that other british youngsters like him will no longer have an opportunity to win a free internet ticket. he's deeply disappointed with the outcome of the referendum . i think a lot of people voted blindly initially and they didn't really know what they were voting about they were kind of following government propaganda like communism actually. and then it's time for a cold beer. this is after all the home country of the pit.

after two days in prague it's time for even gibson to move on in trail could be described as a kind of speed dating the hero you've barely gotten to know place and you're confronted with another stranger. and quite often you travel alone which is just what eighteen year old. can really meet so many other solo travelers. actually make maybe make some difference over the way you can actually have a very good time traveling solo so i really recommend. the next stops for eight in vienna put a pest and. he'll visit for european countries in two weeks and take lots of fresh impressions home to edinburgh. where you can keep up with aiden's next few stops on our instagram page at d.f.w. your remarks where he'll be posting on insta story now we're headed on our own little journey across europe time to get you up to date in our express starting with a music festival in germany. in

had an unusual idea. that we were at our school during the day so we worked through the night it was tiring we drank a few beers and then it hit us how about be a painting. to. nicola and alexandra swapped brushes for empty beer bottles now they dip the top end of the bottles in color and use them for painting . to video to petition for there are many kinds of beer bottles some are lighter than others the easier to use. best stylishly geometrical artworks are reminiscent of pointillist paintings video i get inspiration from hip hop music and often portray famous rappers and characters from comics to good books we usually paint portraits but we also get lots of commissions all kinds of them to do good. that work is that

time now for today's installment of our series island dreams greece is one of the prime destinations when it comes to the travel trend of island hopping i'm no wonder the country boasts over three thousand islands in total where off to see one of the most popular ones situated just off greece's northwestern coast corfu is the second largest of the ionian islands it's also among the richest regions in the entire country. is known by its inhabitants as care cuba but we discovered a third name. cook food is the seventh largest of the greek islands it's rich vegetation and it's a name for the green eyed and the royal cafe and can only mean south of the city of course food affords a fabulous view upon the cooney see the uninhabited mouse on and a landmark of coffee and a flush i have not the monastery on and. this

is the right spot for plane spotters as well they can enjoy an excellent view of the airport's runway. every half hour a boat leaves can only use little pools for the mouse on and the byzantine chapel reportedly dating back to the eleventh or twelfth century is worth a look here. for it's letter time soon to take you to the island and its long sandy beaches of paradise. to choose our nature is the best the seemingly endless kind of coolness beach is ideal for kite surfing. that's also my new things just my favorite beautiful kite surfing because it isn't as overcrowded and there aren't any rocks in the water and not many swim out of the

sandy part is really long and the water is clear out of. the inability of long ago also discover cool foods charms us to an ember azizabad had this summer palace built here in the nineteenth century. tourist guide and of us lucky knows the story of obviously sabbath and elizabeth named her place as you know on the after achilles her favorite hero from the trojan war for her he embodies the strength and beauty of ancient greece that's why we find statues of the dying and victorious to kill us here in her garden and. the emperor's was a big fan of greek mythology. a children's terrace of a nine muses inside is a mineral depicting the killie's dragging the vanquished hector under his chariots elizabeth appears to have had her demanding side as well. also not what i had to get there are a few stories about her dining and drinking habits she loves coffee is red and

white wines very much but she had most of her food brought in from abroad the loyalty of her admirers remained strong to this day. i come from. france she was married to france are also fast. and hungry. i think she looks beautiful and very passable really about this that's why i wanted to visit the palace and see the building where she used to spend her summers. being on. the scene the boy that i never see docky chinese people the nicest parts of his city. yes we're here on the spin not known as the largest square in the balkans under venetian occupation it was used as a parade ground and when i pull you out today it's a nice spin off with a cricket field you could be a doctor during the time of the english occupational. on the square is a place where tourists and residents alike can get together. from here there's

a good view of the palace of st michael and st george it was built during the english occupation in the early nineteenth century near the venetian era fortress. corfu sultan is a mix of french british and venetian architecture and a unesco both cultural heritage site. when the midday heat begins to fade it's a good time to go stand up paddle boarding. the sun sets on spectacular. you have to have an opinion of what you have are silent paddling out into the sunset because the colors are so gorgeous and the seas are usually very calm at that time the beach is empty so you enjoy the beauty all around you even more intensely.

colonel lightening coffee is aptly named old town restaurant the many features traditional i didn't issue is the most famous of which is a free scent a stew of over. half of the seventh you get everyone who comes to kofi must try the sofrito it's fantastic it's our traditional dish and it simply tastes wonderful when he gets to come. down to it it's time to explore koku city's by brick nightlife. now we feature plenty of musicians on this program but this next one is not your run of the milk songwriter or composer florian kepler design sound the professor from stuart got creates the alert sounds of apps electric cars and other industry products his latest project sees him transform dance moves into noise. getting it when i don't know how things will come out that's interesting for me to

have it with and i get the impression we do better at things we've never done before and where the end result is completely uncertain will it work if yes how will it work the is on the high point plan special about sound is that we perceive a lot of it something consciously and of course that gives us a great opportunity that we can use sound to shake moods that middling thinking. and how do sounds shape our perceptions something florian kept investigates in his studio the stuttgart musician and composer develops new sounds. all types of clients. ok go back to the beginning please it was a phantom of fun in recent years he's concentrated on museums for the hashtag mine museum exhibition in stuttgart starts gallery for example he worked with students from the music academy to produce a kind of audio guide for smartphones. it's users get both information and using.

them to help guide it announces you in a sound environment that's different from say the parking garage we've just been in on your way to the museum it's from your own every day life and you're another asked in a place where you can move through the parts being done and experience the works of art hanging on the wall hanging from a different kind of perspective you. name it's a question. but isn't the endless barrage of sound more annoying than a relaxing silence. florian caplets says there is no relaxing silence in the museum void but here we actually want this ambience of egg conditioners and ventilators and fluorescent tubes that will give off sound and we can stop there and ask couldn't and be some very very subtle ambience so it comes even closer to absolute silence and if you did nothing otoh yoko and i swear managed must. silence is in

itself a sound and museums temples of culture where reverent silence is expected from visitors. in mannheim xnu constant museum florian kepler encouraged his music design students to go a step or two further. the idea was to make the museum a club where the art isn't in the eye of the beholders but is co-created by them. and this interactive aspect is reflected in the principal work florian couplet conceived for the mannheim constanza the collection wall here the viewer can virtually experience almost every work in the museum's collection it's nice to interest rates and this is not to be underestimated of course only a very small part is on display but now everyone can come in at this point they don't pay admission rather than tell people about the works the museum has and then lock most of them away sometimes for decades now everyone can see what they're

really interested in saida so i think the seepage i think wish. florian kepler is interested in nearly everything along with his museum projects the music designer is developing sounds for electric cars and visa horrific is a slight on and he supplied investigations can be turned the other way and be of interest music years while we can share a moment with ease driving algorithms into. it isn't. what i really love best when you see how both areas relate to and don't exclude one another. florian traveled a long way before he finally brought art and commercial success together originally the sound inventor wanted to be a rock star. for a time his band held the pictures was the opening act for blood and bob geldof but the big break never came. in hindsight it may have been for the best florian kepler

had a free hand to devote the next twenty years to developing something that still fascinates him in of an incision style easing in a feelings of uncertainty where you don't know i was going to ask if there's something you haven't thought of solution to explore new possibilities and that means a lot to me this bit of news if you're. now it's time for you to get involved are your max d.i.y. experts show you fun ways to brighten up your home and today hang in lee has a project that you can make using household products. she all for love can go to me there's hardly anything more relaxing than watching
