AIM OF THE PROJECT
BRAVO in cooperation with Arte Diem Calabria is announcing an open call for the youth exchange “Art Myths Culture” which will be held in Filadelfia, Italy from April 2nd to April 10th, 2025.
The Youth Exchange “YE Art Myths Culture” is designed to bring together young people from different countries to explore the themes of art, myths and culture through various interactive activities, workshops and discussions. The exchange aims to promote intercultural dialogue, artistic expression and cultural understanding among the participants.
- Promote Intercultural Dialogue:
Encourage participants from different countries to exchange ideas, traditions and stories, fostering mutual respect and understanding of diverse cultures through the lens of art and mythology.
2. Explore and Preserve Cultural Heritage:
Enable participants to delve into their own cultural heritage as well as that of others, using myths and folklore as tools to connect with cultural roots and reflect on the importance of preserving and sharing these stories across generations.
- Foster Creative Expression:
Provide a platform for young people to express themselves through various forms of artistic media, including storytelling, visual arts, and performance, while highlighting the power of creativity as a universal language.
- Empower Youth Facing Fewer Opportunities:
Ensure the inclusion of participants from disadvantaged backgrounds, providing them with the opportunity to actively participate in international cultural exchanges and gain skills in teamwork, communication, and leadership.
- Encourage Active Citizenship:
Inspire participants to engage in their local communities by organizing follow-up activities related to art and culture, leveraging their new skills to promote social cohesion, cultural awareness, and creativity in their home countries.
- Build Lifelong Skills:
Develop key competencies such as teamwork, critical thinking, problem-solving, and public speaking, which will help participants grow personally and professionally, equipping them for future endeavors in both their personal lives and careers.
- Raise Awareness of Shared European Heritage:
Use art and myths to highlight the interconnectedness of European cultures, reinforcing the idea of a shared cultural and historical identity among young Europeans.
These objectives will be achieved through workshops, discussions, cultural activities and the active engagement of participants, contributing to the overall growth of their intercultural and artistic skills.
- Participants aged between 18-25 years
- 1 group leader (aged 18+, no age limit). We especially encourage participation from young people with fewer opportunities.
