Objectives

The project aims to create a safe and inspiring space where young people can reflect on and share their experiences of identity, love and modern relationships. Too often, young people face these questions in isolation; through this exchange, they will find peers to talk to, learn to understand themselves better, accept change as part of life, and gain tools to assert themselves with confidence and kindness, even when facing social pressure or trends. From a youth work perspective, the objectives are: - To support young people in speaking openly about identity and relationships, free from taboos, shame or judgement. - To strengthen their critical thinking towards social and cultural norms, empowering them to make conscious choices for themselves. - To use artistic creation as a non-formal learning tool, helping participants express feelings and messages that are often difficult to put into words. - To foster a model of youth work that combines safe spaces, inclusion of LGBTQIA+ and youth with fewer opportunities, and collective learning methods such as co-development and peer-to-peer support. While the main focus is on the personal growth of participants, the project also intends to inspire local communities through a final exhibition and online campaign. In this way, the voices of young people are not only strengthened within the group but also shared with wider audiences, showing that art and collective expression can help reimagine relationships and identities in today’s society.
