Objectives

During this project, ART will be used AS A TOOL to address social problems existing in our life. The project will focus on youngsters with fewer opportunities and art as a tool to talk about these problems and draw the attention of members of our communities to them, making them take actions. The PARTICIPANTSinvolved in the youth exchange will learn, see and explore different types of art, craft, photography, music, as well they will learn about the problems that youth have in other countries and try to rise and reveal it to the society. They will be given the chance to prepare their art works and their own approach to the topic and share it to the others. The workshop will be done in international groups. But at the same time the workshops will be running parallel so that all the participants have the chance to take part in all of them with the rotation technique. The group leaders as well need to have an artist in their team who will help the participants while carrying out the workshops. This creation activity ,carried out by the group leaders, will introduce the following TOPICS that will be carried out: PREJUDICE, STEREOTYPES, HATE SPEECH, EUROPEAN VALUES. During the project we are planning to organize a meeting of participants with local Armenian artist. This will be a good opportunity for them to exchange ideas, share experiences and create a new piece of art together.specialized youth worker-artist will facilitate the youth exchange. We are planning workshops on INTER-CULTURAL learning in order to give a rather multicultural dimension of the exchange. Thus, we plan to connect it with the European context and to put an accent to the question of active EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP. As an aim to reveal the project theme to the PUBLIC we are planning to use street art. We consider street art to be the voice of public and a way to be heard by the public. For these purpose the participants will have open performances for the public prepared during the workshops. Through these we are planning to make them more active citizens in their communities. Street art will be used to address to the public. The participants will use graffiti, music, craft and photography. And in the end they will prepare their final product. The final product of the project will be a public exhibition of art works created during the project. This will help also to share the Erasmus+ information among the locals and the information abut the project happened in Armenia. This will be a good example of youth with different backgrounds coming around one common idea and finding solutions to the existing problems. We are planning to make a kind of comparison between two types of art, namely MODERN and TRADITIONAL. Theater, street art, music, craft, photography, illustration will be our tools to address to all members of society, from street to theater. As a result the project participants will understand how modern and traditional types of can ensure the same results while addressing to the public. What will be the outcomes of this project? - The participants will become culturally more competent and understand the intercultural affects of theses kind of projects. - The participants will become more tolerant. It will break the prejudices among the participants and make them more tolerant to youngsters with fewer opportunities. - It will make participants take their own initiatives. Though the workshops, organized with the help of leaders and local artist, the participants will have the opportunity to take initiatives, express. - The youth will become more culturally competent through the exchange of experiences. - This street art creation will be opportunity to discuss about prejudice, discrimination, racism, traditions, various cultures, Europe as a multicultural place, they will be able to see and discuss differences in their examples and use street art as a means to present it to the public.
