We want to challenge teenagers and young adults in a positive way, to challenge them to position themselves in the current cultural struggle between the dictatorships of Russia and Belarus and the global West, using the means of art - in the shadow of the war in Ukraine and the nearby border with Belarus. As part of a creative camp, a European project space is to be opened, - to address European values such as "Freedom of Expression" as a borderline experience - close to the borderline between EU freedoms and Belarusian/Russian oppression of civil society in creative and educational workshops - to introduce project proposals for sustainable regional development from a youth perspective in a remote region in eastern Poland - to jointly develop resilience against the aggression/disinformation campaigns of hybrid warfare by neighboring regimes Young people want respect, recognition and "real life" participation: - embedding the project in the activities of the Belarusian community in Poland and conveying recognition of their creative productions through project exhibitions at all partners, something that the project participants can be proud of - We want to prove that design tasks as a project of informal/intercultural aesthetic learning and using participatory methods lead to our own, completely different - colorful, diverse, surprising - solutions, such as they cannot be achieved in the formal educational framework of the universities involved. - to teach participants a different, alternative strategy for achieving learning outcomes in special sectors of informal creative learning and to give them tools to use these in the future, with a view to career orientation. The planned creative camp offers a remarkable platform for dealing with political and social issues through art. The diverse workshop content and activities are designed not only to promote creative potential, but also to enable critical thinking and dialogue between young people from different countries. The topics such as migration, resilience, climate change and solidarity are combined with a cross-border perspective and an intensive examination of political, cultural and social realities in Europe. Objectives of the project and perspectives of youth work: Promoting resilience and political awareness: The workshops, which focus on political art as an experiment, not only teach young people artistic skills, but also a deeper understanding of the social problems in Europe, such as migration and human rights. They learn to use art as a tool of resistance and resilience. This offers them the opportunity to develop their own point of view through creative processes and to deal with the political and social challenges that affect them in their home countries and the region. Understanding border and migration realities: The proximity to the Polish-Belarusian border and the thematic focus on migration and border issues make the project particularly relevant. The young people have the opportunity to engage with the different perspectives of asylum seekers, activists and border guards. This not only promotes empathy, but also a better understanding of the different dimensions of migration and border conflicts. Direct confrontation with these issues in a creative context offers the chance to experience political art as an act of solidarity and resistance. Enabling cross-border dialogue and international cooperation: Another goal is to promote cooperation between young people from different countries and cultural contexts. By creating a common European creative space, they learn to contribute their own experiences and perspectives while experiencing exchange with other young people from different countries. This strengthens the understanding of cultural diversity and promotes European identity. Provocation through art: The quote "Art must be dangerous, otherwise it is not art" is implemented in the project in various ways. The young people deal with provocative topics, such as the role of art in resisting political oppression, the representation of trauma or dealing with the climate crisis. The cross-border nature of the project and the direct confrontation - actions in the border area (literally) with difficult political and social issues make art a tool that reflects and challenges both individual and collective identity.
