Using Art & Creativity for Empowerment!
The aim of this project was to empower young people through art. No matter the backgrounds, race, abilities, and disadvantages, to unite young people as a whole in raising awareness and promoting social inclusion, culture, tolerance, and sustainable living.
The project is part of the Youth Exchange program within ERASMUS+, where our MasterPeace local partner LUMEN is quite experienced! The idea came to achieve several objectives such as 1- empower young European people through art 2- raise cultural awareness 3- promote social inclusion and tolerance and mostly 4- raise a sense of EU citizenship and motivate young people to participate more in the development in
The project is centered around a motivating mural created by the participants together with the local high-school students and children from a non-profit organization “Sunce” which hosts and takes care of people with fewer opportunities of different ages.
The mural design will be done by participants as a way to introduce participants from 6 European Countries to the Croatian culture, exchange good practices, and cultural exchange. The project will bring these participants in contact with disadvantaged youth from “Sunce” and participate in making graffiti ranch in the town of Legrad
The activities will include planning, sketching, and implementation of the mural. Team-building, ice-breaking activities to form personal connections and friendships that will help participants in
