Within the “PLACE yourSELF INto public SPACE 4” project, we wanted to wake up the young people from the passively consuming individuals into active, cooperating and creative citizens of local and broader society and equip them with key new knowledge and competences that will enable their creative, sovereign and articulated expression in their everyday life, when looking for a job, within their studies and other education. They got an opportunity to be creatively active in the public spaces of bigger cities (Ljubljana and Beograd) as well as in the public spaces of smaller towns (Pakoštane) as well as in a big top tent (in a circus village) and to explore skills of interactive street theatre, circus, performative vocalisation and signdance theatre, as well as how these different disciplines influence each-other and how, fused together, they build a new discipline of art. In each of the two youth exchanges a final performance was prepared and performed in a public space as well as in a circus tent. To prepare the presentations or shows, the young had their hands free, with mentors guiding them along the process, which had them building their skills of self-iniciativeness, cooperation and co-creation. An important emphasis of the project was also getting-to-know the challenges and abilities of hearing disabled people as well as the similarities and the differences of culture, rites, language and life realities between the three participating countries of the Balkans region (Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia) and, as a result, recognising and diminishing the prejudices and stereotypes. To assure the immersion into all three cultural contexts, we chose to organise three youth exchanges within this one project – one in Ljubljana (Slovenia), one in Pakoštane (Croatia) and one in Belgrade (Serbia) – and to invite the same participants to all three of them; and indeed many participated in all three exchanges. Due to all three partner organisations being from the region of Southeastern Europe with similar languages, we have encouraged our participants to communicate in the languages of their countries rather than in English.
