Objectives

The project "CreActive Youth Participation in the Community" was born from the need to explore new strategies in order to analyze creative youth activism and participation which should take place in the community. The strong motivation behind the Youth exchange was to address the influence and impact of creative activism and youth participation on a life of young people because these should be prominent parts of life for many young people today. We wanted them to develop better organizational skills, better use of the internet, art, and creativity, and improve their experience in the field of activism through non-formal education and focusing on the most important aspects of youth participation in the community. The main aim of the youth exchange "CreActive Youth Participation in the Community" was to increase young people’s awareness of the effects and impact that creative activism and youth participation can achieve. We also wanted to empower young people to be leaders in their local community and to open critical debate on the importance of certain issues through creativity and art. Objectives of youth exchange were: ·To raise awareness in the community of the existence of creative activism and youth participation; ·To promote practices of art and activism, helping activists, artists, organizations, and foundations be more effective in bringing social change; ·To raise awareness of participants on the influence of creative activism and youth participation on behaviour with a special focus to be paid to self-esteem and self-confidence; ·To increase participant’s competencies to organize events, and express their creativity; ·To increase participant’s knowledge on how to improve creative activism and youth participation in a positive way for their own benefit; ·To exchange information on measures already taken and examples of good practice; ·To develop participant’s competencies such as communication in English, teamwork in a mix-intercultural team, problem-solving, conflict management, and participants’ leadership skills in intercultural settings; ·To develop participant’s ICT skills, by creating videos, and articles, using new technologies; ·To increase participant’s knowledge of the Erasmus+ Programme and to support creating new project ideas addressing participant’s needs;
