Our project was intended to increase young people's competences through artistic activities using and in the context of digital activities. The aim was also to increase their involvement in social life, greater initiative, and civic awareness - through the development of soft skills. Promoting creativity and artistic expression - by increasing digital competences used in art. The aim was also to deepen cooperation between partner organizations and increase the team's skills in the field of youth work.
In our opinion, the Erasmus+ project was an opportunity for development for the entire institution. We gained our first experience during the implementation of an earlier project with the Czech organization Karvina 2000, in which we were a partner. This experience showed us the potential of such cooperation. Activities in the "Youth Canvas" project and close cooperation with young people and more in-depth observation of them made us realize that young people need to systematize their knowledge about the world of new media and become aware of certain areas related to them (potentials and threats). This, the desire to show new trends in artistic activities related to the use of technology and the need to activate young people coming from environments undergoing and still feeling the effects of social transformations (liquidation or transformation of industrial plants, mines) prompted us to develop a joint project "Education; Piece; Technology” – Be e-smart.
