About the Project

ARTIVISM IN ACTION

In today’s world, social issues like climate change, human rights, and inequality are more urgent than ever. However, misinformation, stereotypes, and cultural differences often stand in the way of meaningful conversations. At the same time, intercultural dialogue is crucial for fostering understanding, inclusion, and collective action.

The “Artivism for Change” youth exchange combines these two important areas — providing a space for young people to explore the power of art in addressing social challenges while promoting intercultural learning and collaboration for social justice.

This exchange will gather 25 young people from diverse cultural backgrounds to engage in meaningful conversations on topics such as climate change, human rights, and equality. Participants will discover how art can be a tool for activism through non-formal education methods, including interactive workshops, creative activities, collaborative art projects, and group discussions. The project aims to build skills in art-based advocacy, raising awareness, and driving social change.

Aim & Objectives

  • Raise awareness about the power of art as a tool for activism and social change.

  • Create a platform for young people from diverse cultural backgrounds to exchange experiences, ideas, and artistic practices, fostering international cooperation in artivism.

  • Strengthen advocacy skills by empowering participants with the tools and confidence to create their own artivist projects.

  • Build a supportive network of young artivists, mentors, and organizations to collaborate on future initiatives.

Target Group

  • Young people aged 18–30

  • Group leaders aged 18+

  • Volunteers and active members of partner organizations

We are looking for participants with a strong interest or background in the arts, who are passionate about social change and open to intercultural learning.
