Objectives

The project LET’S BE ART: ART FOR GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT is a project based on the preparation and realization ofa live encounter between youngsters from the rural town of Besalú and young participants from Lithuania in order to exchange vital, cultural and artistic experiences highlighting the potentialities of the art, not only for the global development of the communities but also for the personal improvement and inclusion. The participants of the project will be 25 youngsters between 14 and 19 years old with artistic and cultural curiosities but with few possibilities because of coming from a rural environment and having difficulties in accessing to the existing cultural offer. This is a project which tries to empower young people so that they feel the need to consume culture and see their possibilities and work to improve and revitalize their environment, specially on a juvenile level. In that sense, the project includes several activities consisting of the organization of artistic workshops (circus skills or dramatized visits), the participation of other existing workshops (the colors of the art) and finally, the visits of several cultural equipment (theatres, cinema museum, art museum) The objectives of our program have been: -Promote, through the performing arts, active citizenship, intercultural dialogue and social inclusion, allowing them to discover new international realities. - Improve the cultural training of young people, fostering their critical spirit, which allows them to question the points of view that perpetuate inequality or social discrimination. -Learning of forms of citizen participation through artistic expressions that have a direct impact on activities organized in their respective localities. -Promote collaboration and joint work between the different non-profit youth associations. -Strengthen the international dimension of youth activities by promoting the learning of methods of the Informal education. -Promote among young people the awareness of belonging to the European community and awareness of the opportunities available as European citizens. -Learning and knowledge of the different linguistic realities existing in the countries of the two groups participants. -Promote forms of social and cultural learning based on heritage and local organizations, seeking an active and significant knowledge of the territory and the different European realities by young people.
