Designing  and  Facilitating  Intercultural  &  Collective  Creations  for  Youth’s Well-being  and  Awareness

 

By using artistic expression as a medium for healing and awareness, we want to foster an environment where participants can explore complex issues like discrimination and social barriers. The focus on inclusivity—inviting people of all artistic backgrounds—ensures diverse perspectives, enriching the creative process.

Equipping participants with skills to lead intercultural workshops is a good way to extend the initiative’s reach. It empowers individuals to share their experiences and insights, promoting dialogue and understanding within various communities. The combination of art and intercultural engagement can truly inspire change and build bridges between different cultures.

The  initiative  to  create  collective  and  intercultural  art  aims  to  promote  healing  and environmental  awareness  through  artistic  expression,  addressing  issues  such  as  pollution and  waste  management.  Participants,  regardless  of  their  artistic  background,  will  engage  in creative  processes  to  foster  positive  impact  and  intercultural  understanding.  Equipped  with newfound  skills,  they  will  be  able  to  lead  intercultural  workshops  for  various  groups  (e.g. international  volunteer  work  camps,  youth  exchanges,  European  Solidarity  Corps)  using  the tools  and  methods  experienced  during  the  training.

The  training  consists  of  two  stages:  initial  artistic  and  technical  training  followed  by  hands-on creation.  Facilitators  will  guide  participants  to  work  autonomously,  emphasizing  non-formal education  methodologies.  Key  approaches  include  collective  and  creative  intelligence, collaborative  working,  experiential  learning,  and  reflection.  Innovative  and  participatory methods  will  foster  a  dynamic  group  environment  based  on  trust  and  respect.  The  project’s impact  and  outcomes  will  be  disseminated  through the final result, to all possible networks.
