Project Summary

“Youth Transnational Hub for Artists and Innovators” project is a platform for YOUTH CREATIVITY in the broad aspect of EDUCATION, ART AND CULTURE, to find its DIGITAL ANALOGUE through the digital era, in order NO IDEA OR YOUTH ACHIEVMENT TO BE LOST due to the current COVID-19 crisis. And more – not to lose a single young person in the new social order of alternating periods of activity and isolation, which come and go in an unpredictable long-term sequence and duration, and this poses a number of challenges in PLANNING, GOALING, DESIRE and DREAMS. The project will design creative products with open access for application and communication, suitable for use in non-formal education and self-education of young people, will create conditions for training in the external environment during transnational meetings, incl. remote, WILL BUILD NETWORKS for exchange of ideas, good practices related to the daily and current agenda of society, as well as the future of the Earth and humanity in the context of Youth Policies, which today provide key competencies and perceived responsibilities of future managerial, expert and political decisions holders. THE MAIN GOAL of the project is the opportunities for young people from small towns, countries and communities with different cultures to exchange ideas, discuss, propose, experiment, develop know-how and present their views through individual and group events on issues of extreme importance in every sphere of socio-economic life, social relations and communication through culture and art, both in the countries where they live and globally.
Implementing the objectives of the ERASMUS + program, the project focuses young people’s attention on the BENEFITS and PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION of the results of strategic partnerships between organizations from different countries to find the best way to include DIGITAL ONLINE TECHNOLOGIES in everyday life and will propose methods for their inclusion in the new agenda of the society WITHOUT VIOLATING THE BASIC HUMAN NEED FOR PROXIMITY, WARMTH AND EMOTIONALITY. Therefore, we believe that the themes of the project focus in the interests of young people and will provoke their activity, initiative and desire to be involved. Given the fact that the COVID-19 test is a kind of urgent call for action by all countries in a global partnership, YOUNG PEOPLE WILL GET THEIR FIRST SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY to the community and humanity with the activities they will carry out. In this sense, the SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES of the project are young people to:
• increase their initiative, active citizenship and social inclusion through the arts by encouraging them to act at local, national and transnational levels;
• gain more confidence in their own capabilities for real impact of processes that depend on the managerial and political will;
• increase their knowledge of digital technologies and the use of digital tools to adapt the way creative products, goods and events are created, managed, distributed, made available and consumed;
• improve their competencies and acquire key knowledge on the topics covered by the project, incl. their foreign language competencies;
• increase their motivation to seek and apply tools and resources for learning, promoting creativity, culture and cultural diversity;
• increase their motivation to develop talents and promote entrepreneurship in the field of their interests;
• improve their ability to create and manage online information campaigns to multiply project results and maintain their sustainability;
• increase their knowledge of cultural diversity by encouraging intercultural participation and the development of creative thinking.
The project envisages three TRANSNATIONAL MEETINGS entitled “Creators of our own world”, two of which are entitled: “Composing life cleanly” and “Invent ourselves again in one brontobyte” we will perform through the digital capabilities of the e-Twinning platform and one with physical presence of the participants and with a host country – the partner organization from Italy Fattore K, whose choice is not accidental, but related to the specific subject of activity and the most pronounced creative nature, representing theatre performance and theatre ensemble. The project envisages an EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN, entitled “On the way forward”, divided into three modules from which only one implemented in Bulgaria, and the rest – through the eTwinning platform. They are conceptually constructed in the form of trainings and laboratories for non-standard solutions, entitled “CLOSED FOR CREATION”. Thus, the project composes harmonious actions between different organizations to encourage people of today’s and future generations to be innovators and creators of their world.
