Project Summary

CultureYouthLab: Youth Activation and Emancipation through Creative Processes ”is a project that seeks to take advantage of the interdisciplinary experience (Art-Education-Citizenship) of the participating organizations to build an innovative methodological model that serves to improve the system. Non-formal education associations from Spain, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia and Germany, and associated cultural and training entities in each country are part of the project.
We consider that the areas of formal education, non-formal education, culture, social services and public health should be connected in another way to make better use of resources and to be more efficient in their strategies and in their tactics.
We believe that incorporating artists and creators and cultural programs into socio-educational and training processes in a systematic and consistent way improves learning and promotes social inclusion. In addition, there is great opportunity for employment and innovation in this approach.
Thus, the project will collect existing initiatives, and will agree on a methodological model that will then be tested in each participating territory and evaluated. In parallel, we will organize training events for trainers and for young educators and artists so that later in their countries they can multiply the processes. Later, we will create several products that will serve to inspire, guide and train youth actors in the development of socio-educational projects that incorporate artistic and cultural processes. And finally, we will present the results of the project in different informative actions that will promote above all the increase of formal and informal networks, of interdisciplinary connections.
“CultureYouthLab: Youth Activation and Emancipation through Creative Processes” will serve to improve socio-educational programs and to strengthen the cultural arts sector. This pandemic crisis requires us to accelerate some innovations already underway and can help us better reconnect services for youth and build more effective methodologies. Art and culture can be an axis that improves treatments, that helps us in social incorporation, that increases learning process, that reinforces employability and citizenship.
