Objectives

The main goal of the project The Power of Young Artists! was to promote intercultural dialogue and social integration. This objective was to be achieved through shared artistic experiences of young talents from different continents, with particular emphasis on youth from European countries. The essence of the project was also to create an open international space where young people aged 16 to 25 could present their creative expression and exchange experiences in various fields of art: theatre, dance, singing, and others. The secondary goals included: 1.Promoting cultural and linguistic diversity, tolerance, and equality, as well as respect for other cultures. 2.Promoting cultural expression and youth activity as a way of self-expression. 3.Showcasing the diversity of nations through art, theatre, music, and dance, with an emphasis on national artistic values. 4.Creating a unique event reflecting the cultural diversity of the world, with particular focus on European countries. 5.Developing participants' artistic skills and soft competences that will serve them in their professional lives. 6.Enabling the joint building of bridges of understanding and tolerance. The project responded to the needs of young people observed by the We are for U Foundation during its 5 years of activity, as well as those identified by partner organizations. The Power of Young Artists! project was implemented in alignment with the assumptions, goals, and current priorities of the Erasmus+ Programme, such as: digital transformation, inclusion and diversity, and participation in democratic life. This is confirmed by, among others, the following aspects: 1.Throughout all activities, the project promoted equal opportunities and equal access, social inclusion, diversity, and equity. 2.The project emphasized non-formal and informal education, as well as active participation of young people. 3.The project had a strong international dimension, evidenced by cooperation with third countries not associated with the Erasmus+ Programme in terms of mobility, cooperation, and thematic dialogue. Participating countries included: Bulgaria, Georgia, Jordan, Poland, Lithuania, Turkey, and Ukraine. 4.During the project, participants used digital tools and enhanced their digital competences, which demonstrates support for digital transformation. 5.The project promoted diversity, multilingualism, and multiculturalism. Participants came from 7 different countries; for some of them, it was the first Erasmus+ project they had the opportunity to participate in. 6.The project encouraged participants to be actively involved and inspired them to engage in their local communities, as evidenced by the Youth Needs and Proposals list developed during the project.
